It has become the subject of fascination and urban legend, captivating the imaginations of locals and tourists alike. However, the supposed curse associated with the Highgate vampire has plagued believers and skeptics alike. Legend has it that the Highgate vampire is the restless spirit of a nobleman who practiced black magic and vampirism during his lifetime. According to the tales, he was buried in Highgate Cemetery, but his malevolent presence remained. People claim to have witnessed sightings of the vampire lurking in the shadows, with reports describing glowing red eyes, pale skin, and an aura of fear.

TKB Lip Liquid - Presto Change-o Magic Color
TKB's Presto Change-o Magic Color Lip Liquid is a color additive. You don't put it on your lips directly, you add it to your project. And frankly, you don't need to add much. We used to recommend between 2%-5% by weight, but customer reviews have advised to take that number down. Maybe 0.5% to start. For our Halloween Kit colors, we did end up around 3%. But you should "work your way up".
All this means that a 1 fluid ounce bottle of TKB Magic Presto Change-o Magic Color Lip Liquid will easily color 1-2 pounds of base. (Note: you could put it directly on your lips but your lips would be stained extremely pink and you would regret it. Save that idea for when you want to get back at your pesky little brother and be grounded for a week).
By the way, the best way to remove it from the skin is with a makeup remover or an oil. That is more gentle than scrubbing at it with soap and water.
How to work with it:
Add it to a lip balm, lip stick, lip gloss, and -- possibly -- a lip oil. If you add to a lip oil, the oil must be thick enough to keep the color "suspended". If it is too thin, the color will settle out. Daring folk can add to a cheek stain or use for a similar purpose.

You can mask this color by adding other colors. For example, if you add green mica to the blend (we suggest our True Green Mica), it will appear green in the bottle. But, when applied to the lips, it will bloom into a hot pink.
Here are some important tips for working with Presto Change-o:
-
The product is very staining. Always work with gloves and a covered table top. As well, expect your utensils to become stained. The good news is, that once the product stains your lips, it doesn't transfer to clothing or stain other areas, so it is pretty great at "staying in place".
Coupled with your creativity, TKB Presto Change-o Magic Color Lip Liquid can result in custom colors as unique as a unicorn's mane.

These misfortunes are said to include accidents, illness, and even death. In the 1970s, the legend of the Highgate vampire gained significant attention from the media and paranormal enthusiasts. This led to an influx of people visiting the cemetery in search of the vampire. Many self-proclaimed vampire hunters undertook investigations, performing rituals and seeking evidence of the creature's existence. These activities further fueled the superstitions surrounding the curse. Despite numerous reports of vampire sightings and the supposed curse, skeptics argue that the legend of the Highgate vampire is nothing more than a product of an overactive imagination or an elaborate hoax. They attribute the sightings to misidentification, hysteria, or attention-seeking behavior. Additionally, skeptics argue that the curse itself is purely coincidental, as misfortunes can happen to anyone and are not necessarily linked to the vampire legend. Nevertheless, the legend of the Highgate vampire continues to capture the fascination of many. Ghost tours and vampire-themed events draw crowds of curious onlookers who hope to catch a glimpse of the elusive creature. Whether real or myth, the curse of the Highgate vampire remains a captivating tale that keeps the legend alive and fuels the imagination of believers and skeptics alike..
Reviews for "The Highgate Vampire: Supernatural Terrors in the Heart of England"
- Emily - 2 stars - I found "The Curse of the Highgatd Vampire" to be incredibly disappointing. The plot was convoluted and confusing, with too many unnecessary subplots that didn't add anything to the overall story. The characters were also poorly developed and lacked depth, making it difficult to connect with and care about any of them. Additionally, the writing style was choppy and awkward, and I often found myself having to reread sentences multiple times to understand what was being said. Overall, I was left feeling frustrated and unsatisfied with this book.
- Michael - 1 star - I couldn't finish "The Curse of the Highgatd Vampire" as it was a complete mess. The story was all over the place, jumping from one random event to another without any clear direction or purpose. The dialogue was stilted and unrealistic, and the character motivations were inconsistent and nonsensical. I also found the writing to be riddled with grammatical errors and awkward phrasing, making it a chore to read. I was extremely disappointed in this book and would not recommend it to anyone.
- Sarah - 2 stars - I expected so much more from "The Curse of the Highgatd Vampire," but it fell completely flat for me. The pacing was incredibly slow, and it took forever for anything remotely interesting to happen. The world-building was lacking, with little explanation or detail given about the vampire society and its rules. The romance subplot felt forced and shallow, and the characters themselves were forgettable and unremarkable. Overall, I found this book to be a lackluster and forgettable read.
