Ben Nye Thick Blood

I bought this for my LARP character, and I'm an sfx makeup amateur. Because of this my parameters were pretty strict: It needed to go on fast, and look cool and realistic without being labor/skill intensive or needing wound effects/prosthetics underneath. It needed to dry pretty fast It needed to not be drippy--no getting onto my other other characters' costumes It needed to dry dark and stay on. Nothing annoys me more than fake blood that dries pink. I've in the past had liquidier blood stain my skin so if I don't wipe it off immediately, it just looks shitty. This fulfilled everything. One picture was me testing it on my arm. As you can see, it's pretty goopy and doesn't move. When I put it on at the larp, it took maybe fifteen minutes to start getting tacky/sticky to the touch rather than smearing. and stayed slightly tacky and realistic-feeling for hours. It didn't rub off onto other people even when I was physically carried/cradled/held. The other picture was about ten hours after I'd applied it, and slept several hours with it. The lighting is awful and it's hard to see the effect, but one thing I thought was cool was that my hair dried/matted to it in a way that felt very realistic. The same effect with where my clothes stuck to the blood. Really realistic.

Quality product, easy to applied on the skin , look so real.

Perfect for quick wounds!

Absolutely phenomenal. Such an easy product to work with. And sooo life like. Definitely received so many compliments over this costume but I know it’s the blood that made this look pop! Amazing!! 100% recommend! 🤌🏻🔥🖤

Love this product. I use it for zombie walk and every weekend as a haunt actor as well as for hallowen and its long lasting, stays looking fresh, doesn't dry or get flakey, looks realistic, easy to use. Absolutely my favorite product

Good product but 22 dollars for 1 oz is a bit ridiculous.

Absolutely love this blood has been my favorite since I first started doing sfx makeup at age 12 have not changed my favorite recipe in the last 13 years

I used it for a battle damage /fist fight superhero cosplay and it was amazing! It’s a bit sticky at first but drys down and you don’t feel it at all. Looks really great. Don’t need much to get a killer effect so this should last a LONGGGGG time!
