To achieve a makeup effect, a light matte face powder is applied with a brush. Creamed eyeshadows in various shades are applied under the eyes. Fake blood can be made by mixing red food coloring, golden syrup, and flour for a less runny consistency resembling real blood. Darker food coloring can be added for depth. A scab-like texture is created using corn flakes stuck to the skin with water, then covered with brown paint or food coloring and fake blood for an oozing effect.
