EBA Transfusion Blood The Blood is the signature deep red film blood from European Body Art, available in a 60ml bottle for professional work and longer productions. Built on a unique cellulose formula rather than syrup or sorbitol, it dries without sticking, smudging, or running. The Blood has a deep red colour with a slight yellow undertone - the shade you see with heavy bleeding. Browse the full EBA Transfusion Blood range for all colours and sizes.
- Deep red medium-dark, the colour of heavy bleeding with a slight yellow undertone
- Cellulose formula, syrup- and sorbitol-free
- Waterproof, transfer-proof and fast-drying
- Holds shape for drips, drops and deep wound effects
- 60ml bottle (2 oz), designed and produced in Costa Mesa, USA by European Body Art
What makes Transfusion Blood different from other film blood?
Most film blood formulas are syrup- or sorbitol-based. They stick, run, smear and need constant touch-ups - exactly what you don't want on a long shoot day. Transfusion Blood breaks with that approach. The cellulose base dries to a high-gloss wet look that doesn't tack, doesn't smudge and doesn't transfer.
Once dry, the blood stays exactly where you put it. Drops hold their shape, deep wounds keep their texture and splatter patterns stay sharply defined. For film, theatre and haunted houses, that means no constant retouching during a performance or shoot.
How to apply The Blood
Apply The Blood directly from the bottle using a brush, sponge or dropper. Different tools give you different effects:
- Ben Nye Mini Splatter Brush for realistic blood splatter and spatter patterns
- FBFX duo-fibre stipple brush for wound texture and depth
- A fine-tipped brush for sharp drips, cut effects and blood streaks
Pro tip: Build The Blood up in thin layers for more dimension and depth. Let the first layer dry, then apply a second coat to the deepest points of the wound - this creates a 3D effect where blood drops appear to well up. For long shoots: apply The Blood after all other make-up and SFX layers to prevent it from seeping under prosthetics or paint layers.
How long does it last and how to remove it
The Blood stays put for 24 to 72 hours on skin, depending on placement and friction. No setting spray needed - the cellulose formula dries to a lasting result on its own. Removal does require the right approach. Per situation:
- On skin: Start with EBA Vapore 60ml - the official EBA remover. Spray or press Vapore onto the blood layer and leave it for 30-60 seconds so the cellulose releases. Then press off gently with a cotton pad or soft cloth. Don't rub - pressing works better than scrubbing. For any remaining colour after Vapore: warm water with mild soap, pressing gently. On lighter skin, a faint red shadow may remain - this fades within a few hours.
- On fabric or clothing: Rinse immediately with cold water - hot water sets the stain. Then treat with stain remover or laundry detergent before washing.
- Near eyes or on sensitive skin: Avoid alcohol-based remover near the eyes. Use mild soap and water or a cleansing oil instead.
- On latex or silicone prosthetics: Vapore works here too, but allow 1-2 minutes of contact time for deeper layers.
Combine with other SFX palettes for complete wound looks
For realistic wound make-up, pair The Blood with European Body Art's Encore Alcohol Activated palettes:
- Encore Injury palette for bruising, contusions and skin discolouration around the wound
- Encore Tormented palette for haunt FX and horror themes
- Encore Autopsy palette (Bruce Spaulding Fuller) for corpse and post-mortem effects
Compare with the other Transfusion colours
The Transfusion Blood range has four colours, each for a different stage of blood:
- Bright Blood - fresh arterial, bright red (nosebleeds, cut wounds)
- The Blood - deep red medium-dark (heavy bleeding, the signature EBA blood)
- Dark Blood - dark with brown and blue undertone (dead or undead characters, older wounds)
- Scab Tone - deep brown scab colour (blood crusts, healed wounds)
What can you use The Blood for?
- Film, TV and professional SFX make-up
- Theatre and stage productions
- Haunted houses, scare mazes and horror events
- Cosplay and character work with wound effects
- Underwater shoots and pool scenes
- Heavy bleeding effects, deep wounds and general wound FX as an all-purpose blood
- Halloween looks where you want to go beyond standard fake blood
Safety and storage
Designed for ages 14 and up. Avoid applying near the mouth, eyes, nose and ears. The Blood can temporarily stain skin and leave marks on fabric - work in protective clothing or on covered sets.
For best adhesion, clean the skin with 70% isopropyl alcohol before application, avoid lotions and oils on the application area, and pat dry with a towel rather than rubbing. Store the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dry place.
