Melted Skin
What You Will Need
- 1 and 1/2 cups (360ml) flour
- 1 cup (240ml) water
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) of Kayro® light and clear corn syrup
- 1/2 cup (120ml) popcorn or dried beans
- Food coloring (red or flesh-colored)
- Large bowl
- Spoon to stir
- Spatula
- Safety pins
- Hair dryer
- 7 cotton balls
- Glass plate
What You Will Do
- Put some corn syrup onto the plate.
- Dip a cotton ball into the corn syrup and stick it on your face above the right eyebrow, close to the ear.
- Apply another cotton ball beside the one you just put on, but close to nose, then apply two on the upper cheek, two on the lower cheek (opposite cheeks), and one on the chin, but not directly beneath the mouth but a little to the right or left.
- Put the flour and beans/popcorn into the bowl, then add the water and the corn syrup and mix them together.
- Add a few drops of food coloring. When the cotton balls are secure and the syrup has dried, stick the bean mixture to your forehead and over the cotton above the eyebrow with a spatula, then cover the entire face. Press the mixture to face with spatula and lean back to let dry. Use the hair dryer for quicker drying.
What You Can Do
- You could also use shaving cream and mix in stage blood, but this is a cheaper and unrealistic alternative.
