FX Warehouse: Fleet Street Drying Blood by Premiere Products
and no, it isn't cheap, but with a paintbrush and the Dark version, the 2oz bottle will go a long way in giving you the Carrie look.
Dries while keeping a wet look, smudgeproof, washes off with soap and water.
This is the good stuff.
Another option is PAX paint, which is also sold at the link above. Try and find a non-tacky version.
It's Pros-aide (surgical adhesive) and acrylic latex paint, about a 50/50 mix. Lasts all night, no smudging, no peeling, but you'll want to buy a remover, because it won't come off with soap and water.
Use the Agent X or the Super-Solv remover, and then use soap and water. That is how you remove it.
