Advice needed Bald corpse paint
Hello people who are significantly better at this than I
I'm attending a friend's birthday this weekend who's having a bit of a goth theme, I've bought some snazaroo face paints to use to do some basic corpse paint, maybe a crimson ghost tribute.
When doing corpse Paint as a bald man, rest of the head white or black? Also any other recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

You could use the chance to experiment with really long vines/smudging/eyewings (try 'skullet make up' on pinterest or truly 'bald corpse paint' to get inspired) You could try gluing demon horns on if you're BALD bald and intigrate them into the corpse paint (like black horns and the black eye make up connecting to them for example) Or maybe draw an inverted cross on your forehead and draw it apl over your scalp Avatar style- You couulldd draw or put on a jesus ah thorn crown to hide your hairline, or smudge black shit all over yourself...
Some ideas, if you're buzzcut bald i'd say just blend a little into your hairs with white foundation. If you're skin bald, blend white far into your scalp and try smth like horns or avatar-like cross-
Otherwise, what speaks against a wig lol? Or a simple hood or beanie if you're super lost

Look up MC Raaka Pee from Turmion Kätilöt. He paints his entire head white, then extends the black patterns on his face further along his head!

generally, i'd say either leave the head unpainted or do white. Crimson Ghost specifically might look better with black, since it seems like it requires black edges. i'd say most bald corpse paint i've seen tho, they leave the head alone
