Measure 1/8 of a cup of corn syrup into a small bowl or measuring cup. You may use light or dark corn syrup, but light corn syrup may require a bit more food coloring.

Add about 20 drops of red food coloring to the corn syrup and stir well. If you are going for a nonrealistic, super gory fake blood effect, bright red may be just what you are looking for to complement your monster makeup. If you are going for a more realistic look, add blue food coloring one drop at a time until you reach your desired shade.

Thicken your fake blood for easier application by adding about 1 tsp. of sifted white flour. Stir the mixture as well as possible and let sit for 10 minutes. After the mixture has set and thickened a bit, the extra flour will float on top where you can easily remove the clumps. Adding flour will also make your fake blood less transparent and more realistic.

Make your fake blood as tasty as it is realistic, especially for zombie or vampire costumes. Instead of adding blue food coloring, add a drop or two of chocolate syrup. The chocolate syrup not only makes your makeup taste good, it will thicken and darken your fake blood for a more realistic look.
