Fake Blood

Fake blood is an essential product within an SFX makeup kit, used to create realistic injuries, wounds, and gore. There are several types of fake blood available in our range, each serving a specific purpose:

• Spray-On Blood: Used for creating splatter effects, a spray-on fake blood is perfect for visually creating impactful blood splatter effects from an injury. Spray-on blood covers a much larger area quickly and is best used to create less precise appearances. The addition of blood splatter creates a dramatic finish to a variety of costumes, accessories, and makeup.
• Stage Blood: This blood type is much thicker in both consistency and appearance. Designed to mimic the look and flow of real blood, this more coagulated blood gel formula is a great option for more precise application; often applied directly to fake cuts and gashes to create a more realistic look. 
• Blood Capsules: Complete a truly gruesome vampire or zombie look with the blood capsules. These are small, gelatin capsules filled with fake blood. Designed to be bitten down by users, these capsules produce a sudden burst of blood in the mouth to create a murderous appearance.

UV Face and Body Paint

UV face and body paint add a dazzling effect under blacklight, making them a favourite for both fancy dress and festival attire. These paints glow vividly under specialised ultraviolet light, creating vibrant and striking appearances. Halloween and cosplay costumes that call for UV makeup are often creatures or characters that are meant to stand out in the dark. The UV paints come in various colours and can be applied to the face and body, allowing for full-coverage designs.

Other key SFX products in this range include brightly coloured lipsticks, vibrantly-toned face and body paint palettes colour cups and even special effects 3D gel to build artificial SFX makeup prosthetics.

SFX makeup transforms appearances for Halloween, cosplay events, and theatre productions by creating realistic and fantastical characters. Using products like fake blood, UV paints and vibrant face and body paint palettes from brands like Paintglow and Mehron, artists can craft gory wounds, supernatural beings, and vivid results. This creative application enhances the experience, making characters come alive and captivating audiences with stunning visual effects.
