Frigid Fluid Cosmetic Kit
Frigid Fluid is both the name of a company and of the product it primarily sells: embalming fluid.
The company also recently came out with a line of "Frigid Cosmetics" (makeup for dead people). Its full kit will set you back $785, but the company promises that the cosmetics are "designed to accentuate the natural features and accurate color hues, tones and complexions of decedents."
This makes me curious about how funeral-home cosmetics differ from regular cosmetics for the living. Do funeral-home cosmetics perhaps contain substances that would be banned in cosmetics for the living?

Also, you have to take into account the hue of the person/corpse who is wearing the make-up. Deceased persons are pale grey, yellowish grey, bluish grey, or just plain gray, so you have to hide the gray, just like when you dye grey hair.

@Yudith: happy to see that I'm not the only one who never knows whether to pick grey or gray!
