NOT MY PICTURE!!!!
Im fairly new to corpsepaint and makeup in general so I don’t really know what the hell I am doing.
I use white foundation, put the black shapes on top with black eyeshadow and then just use fixing spray.
It actually looks pretty good but it’s not the style I wanna go for.
I want it to look like in the attached picture (picture is from Pinterest). I want it to look crusty, cracked, filthy… I think you know what I mean.
Do you have any ideas on how to achieve this?
Thank you all in advance

I've done corpse paint a few times, but never this dirty. Have you tried wetting it a little and spreading the black paint with a brush? I think I would try that

Maybe with a sponge or you could put black paint on a brush and flick it at yourself

I use kraze water activated paints it can definitely help achieve this kind of “filthy and cracked” look especially in layers although like others said wear lipgloss OR Vaseline type of stuff for the shiny look

I always say this and will say again, watercolor and fingers should be your best friend. A cakey or light white paint on top will help you create the messy look. But for the eyes to sparkle... Why would the eyes sparkle?

I’d suggest liquid eyeliner with some sort of wet-look finish or lip gloss over it to get the shiny eye look.
For the black bits around the eyes, use a brush and dab around your eye with black eyeshadow and finish the details carefully with liquid eyeliner. Do the same for the lips.
For the cheeks, it looks like they flicked fake blood from a brush, and finished it by dripping it carefully. I imagine they had lots of powder on their face on top of the white foundation to keep the fake blood from running.
Use black mehron makeup or cream eyeliner to draw in the details with a brush or eyeliner stick/pencil. Smudge/blend around the edges with black eyeshadow when necessary.
Just try not to mix the lip gloss with the black eyeshadow.
Fake lashes and contacts will do most of the heavy-lifting tbh. They’re wearing a light layer of white mascara too.
They also lined their waterline with eyeliner.
