One of the most daunting parts of horror cosplay is not having access to prosthetics or other gory details to complete your character. Never fear! You really only need a few tools to get started and begin doing your own make-up with ease.

I used a Ben Nye bruise wheel and scab blood here, but you could just as easily use lipstick if you’re in a pinch.

My advice? Practice, and don’t take it too seriously. It’s all for fun!

Go forth and conquer!
