![]() I can see the benefits of using greasepaint as a performer, as water based paint will melt away with sweat nearly as fast as an ice cream cone in hell (ask the girl who tried using it for a full body painting adventure.oopsy), but for my purposes its hardly ever ideal. As mentioned previously, I dont particularly like grease paint I find it gooey, harder to work with, harder to remove, and more damaging to my skin. For this look I also decided to experiment with products and use grease paint rather than my preferred water-based liquid face paint. Oops…įor today’s look I wanted to try creating something that felt more ‘old school’ and classic, without going full-on Mercyful Fate. I am by no means saying the products I list are necessary for each look, they are likely just what I had on hand… And defiantly dont use your $20 Urban Decay eyeshadow on corpse paint just because you ran out of your $1 Wet&Wild shadow… Its a waste and really just looks the same on top of white paint. In some cases I will also use “real makeup” such as goth foundation, eyeshadow or lipstick as they will more easily create the kinds of effects I am going for in a particular look. Generally, I prefer to use water-based facepaint over greasepaint as I find it easier to apply, gentler on my skin, and then easier to remove. *A note on Products Used: Really, any bloody facepaint or makeup will do. The difference in this project is to explore many more variations of how corpse paint can be applied and challenge myself into testing out and creating new styles of the art. I previously did a photo series in which I tested classic styles of corpse paint on ‘non-metally’ individuals going about their normal daily activities, and that project can be viewed here. ![]() Throughout the 30 days I intend to dabble in all styles of corpse paint from the Immortal geometric to the Ghall grotesque. ![]() The idea is simple in the style of most ’30 day’ Instagram & YouTube challenges, I will create a different corpse paint look daily for 30 days and then post the results in the form of a portrait & time-lapse video of the process. Thus the 30 Day of Corpse Paint challenge was born. ![]() In honor of this most horror & glam loving time of year (October of course!) I decided to take it upon myself to try a little something new something that would scratch my itch to indulge my consistent desire to dress up, listen to a crypt-full of black metal brutality, challenge myself creatively, while simultaneously parodying normality in the most ridiculously niche way possible…. ![]()
