Something like this could be a combination of liquid latex, cellophane, etc. The black veins look a lot like latex "nurnies" which you can learn more about in this course: https://www.stanwinstonschool.com/tutorials/blood-gore-makeup-effects-part-2-props-fx-gags-fake-corpse

They likely also added something on the surface to add gloss. Could be methylcellulose, ultra slime, water-based lubricant, etc.

I would also try one of my personal all-time favorites and that's Steve Johnson's and Billy Bryan's bag technique? Here, take a look for yourself...
