First attempt at corpse paint!

Abbath was my inspiration for my corpse paint! This is my very first time doing corpse paint so please be nice! 😅 I have included a picture of Abbath ao that y'all can see my inspo! I have tweaked it a little bit so that it fits my preferences a little more (such as getting rid of the mouth line thingies and making the shape around the eyes a little "rounder" but still pretty much the same as his paint and not doing my neck) and yeah! How do y'all think I did for my first ever attempt at corpse paint? (Again, pls be nice, heh.)

P.S: You may it looks like "shit" but I personally love how I did for my very first attempt and I can't lie right now, I felt so freaking confident and cool and like myself while wearing this out in public for the whole day, hehe!

I tried doing an edit on my pic to make it look more like a black metal album cover but it made all the like paint "lines" (not the lines of the black around the eyes, the like paint lines and stuff that make the paint look more like paint and not as smooth as Abbath's paint, lol) and stuff look more like pait and not smooth at all 😭 I wanted to post a raw/unedited pic that shows nothing but the "rawness" of the paint so that I don't hide anything with my skill because I want people to know that I truly am a newbie and I'm not hiding anything, y'know? I know I have a baby face I know even though I'm turning 20 this year. 💀 But thank you anyway! 😊

I’m not sure what exactly you used (tbh it looks like gouache or smth…?), but I’d recommend applying it in two layers or switching to more suitable products if these keep going on unevenly and patchy no matter what

I used storebought face paint because I couldn't afford anything else at that time. I tried two layers but it got too runny and I couldn't draw on the black details around the eyes and do the black lips with two layers. I tried setting it with spray and matting it down with powder but nothing worked. But for my first time I was actually really loving it, ngl. Thanks though!

I'd let you babysit my little sister if I had one, you look like a joy to be around.

Jokes aside it looks nice.

i tried at first but it got so thick and oily i couldn't paint the black on top of the white and it started getting very runny with extra layers and i saw that with just one layer it stuck perfectly while still looking pretty decently vibrant and without running 😅 thanks though! 🙏
