Blood Tear Face Gems

Face makeup is the part of a costume that takes longest and comes off first. These are sheets of red stones already laid out in the shape they go on - a run down from the inner corner of the eye, a short mark across the nose bridge, a scatter along the temple - so nothing has to be placed one stone at a time. Peel the sheet, press, done. Some sets come with a small bottle of fake blood, which is where the mess comes from.
