Ingredients:

  • Oatmeal (or something else to give texture)
  • Cocoa powder
  • Baby powder
  • Hair spray
  • Liquid latex
  • Fake blood (ketchup will work if you don't mind smelling like ketchup; also it will attract flies, which a plus for costume accuracy, a minus for hygiene)
  • An eye pencil
  • Black greasepaint
  • White greasepaint (or gray instead of both black and white)
  • Make-up sponges
  • Hair color (the baby powder can work, but won't stick as well)
