Looking dead

We have been researching all over the internet on how to look dead.
Some website have suggested mixing talculm powder and water, but from past experience we know this DOES NOT WORK! The mixture goes lumpy and useless and is not like paint as described.
We've been trying it out with some household products, such as dry flour or dry talculm powder and this has had a much better effect for creating pale looking skin.
Most website have suggested adding a blue tint to lips and eye lids, but of course this should be very subtle.
To finish off we will use fake blood.
