What it's used for
Fleet Street Drying Blood Fresh is designed for special effects makeup professionals who need realistic, long-lasting and controllable blood. Its fresh and vivid shade makes it the ideal choice for recreating recent wounds, acute trauma or any effect requiring "active" blood with persistent gloss.
- Open wound and trauma makeup directly on skin
- Application over encapsulated and non-encapsulated silicone prosthetics
- Hair effects (cuts, blows, action scenes)
- Layered work alongside Fleet Street Drying Blood Dark to achieve chromatic depth
- Combination with Pasta Fleet Street Blood Sangre to add three-dimensional texture and volume
- Adding scabs and relief effects together with Pasta Fleet Street Blood Costra
- Imitation of temporary tattoos with a bleeding appearance
- Film, television, theatre and FX photography productions
How to use it
- Prepare the skin or prosthetic surface, making sure it is clean and dry before applying.
- Apply a first thin layer of Fleet Street Drying Blood Fresh directly with a brush, sponge or gloved finger. Allow to dry slightly.
- Layer additional coats to increase the intensity and depth of colour. Each layer adds tonal richness without losing the glossy finish.
- If you want contrast and greater realism, alternate layers of Fleet Street Drying Blood Dark in shadow or clotted areas.
- To add three-dimensional texture (clots, raised wounds), apply Pasta Fleet Street Blood Sangre or Pasta Fleet Street Blood Costra over the area and work the Drying Blood on top while the paste is still fresh.
- Once the effect is complete, allow it to set in position. The blood will stay in place without migrating.
- To remove the product, use soap and water or Fleet Street Plasma Soap for a more effective and irritation-free clean.
Usage tips
Work in layers for a more realistic result
The key to the Fleet Street system is the layering of shades. Apply the Fresh shade first as a base to give luminosity, then add the Dark shade on the edges and deeper areas. The difference between both shades creates an optical illusion of depth that a single-colour blood can never replicate.
Combine with pastes for three-dimensional textures
The Drying Bloods are liquid and flat by nature. To simulate clots, raised lacerations or open wounds with volume, first place the Pasta Fleet Street Blood Costra or the Pasta Sangre as the structure and apply the Drying Blood Fresh on top while the paste is still fresh to perfectly integrate both materials.
Application over silicone prosthetics
Fleet Street Drying Blood Fresh adheres perfectly to both encapsulated and non-encapsulated silicone without the need for primers. Apply with a fine-tip brush for precise detail on prosthetic edges, and with a flat brush or sponge for larger areas. Always test on a small area of the prosthetic before covering the entire piece if the material has very light pigmentation or an unusual formulation.
Frequently asked questions
Does the blood still look wet when it's already dry?
Yes. This is the main feature of this line. Fleet Street Drying Blood Fresh is formulated to maintain a glossy, wet finish even when the product is already dry and set on the surface. There is no need to reapply or hydrate between takes.
Can it be used directly on skin without a reaction?
Yes. It is formulated with FDA-approved pigments and is suitable for use on skin and hair. As with any makeup product, it is recommended to do a patch test on a small area of the forearm if the performer has particularly sensitive skin.
How is it correctly removed?
Fleet Street Drying Blood Fresh is removed with soap and water in most cases. For a more thorough clean, especially on prosthetics or after long sessions, Fleet Street Plasma Soap is specifically formulated to remove artificial blood residue without leaving stains or irritating the skin.
Does it stain clothes or props?
Like any pigmented artificial blood, it may leave marks on porous fabrics or absorbent materials. It is recommended to protect fabrics that should not be stained before the session. On non-porous surfaces and skin, removal is straightforward with soap and water.
What is the difference between the Fresh shade and the Dark shade?
Fleet Street Drying Blood Fresh has a vivid red shade that mimics fresh, oxygenated blood, ideal for active wounds and acute trauma. Fleet Street Drying Blood Dark is darker and deeper, perfect for clots, venous blood or old wounds. Combining both in layers delivers extraordinarily realistic results.
Does it work on all types of silicone prosthetics?
Yes. Fleet Street Drying Blood Fresh is compatible with both encapsulated and non-encapsulated silicone prosthetics. It adheres well to the surface and does not migrate once dry, making it especially useful during long filming or performance sessions.
Can it be used for temporary tattoos?
Yes. According to the manufacturer's description, Fleet Street Drying Blood Fresh can also be used to imitate temporary tattoos with a bleeding or freshly-inked appearance, thanks to its intense pigmentation and its ability to set without migrating.
Can I mix it with Fleet Street blood pastes?
Yes, and it is the recommended way to work. The Pastas Fleet Street Blood provide volume and three-dimensional texture, while the Drying Blood Fresh adds fluid colour and wet gloss. Used together, the result is far more convincing than either product on its own.
