Just make sure “the portion of the zipper above the bridge of the nose is zipped up, for the ultimate effect”.
You can use red lipstick to smudge over the lips to create the look of blood, or use a red lipliner pencil to draw little blood drops dribbling from the mouth. Or, Orlena says: “If you want to add fake blood coming from the mouth, you can do that too.”You will need white cream face paint or a very pale foundation, and black or grey eye shadow.
