Calling the technique ‘easy peasy,’ she explained ‘So I’m gonna show you guys the best fake blood hack for Halloween.<\/p>\n
‘All you need is brown dry shampoo and red hairspray. I got mine from Superdrug because they’re cruelty free and vegan.<\/p>\n
‘You want to start off with the brown dry shampoo, this one is going to add depth to the wound and give it that sort of dried blood look too.<\/p>\n
‘Then the red hairspray, that’s gonna be the blood.<\/p>\n
After applying the first spray, she said ‘You can see it’s already looking a bit bloody but I want it to drip.<\/p>\n
Adding more, the combination does start to look like real blood, as she added ‘You see? Look how easy that is, look how realistic it looks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘It’s so much better than buying that weird fake blood stuff that feels gross and looks gross.<\/p>\n
‘Whereas this just looks pretty convincing. You can also put it on your hand and then just like leave blood marks on yourself.<\/p>\n
