The Crow is a character played by Brandon Lee in the movie of the same name. Eric Draven is the Crow's real name in the movie, a guitarist for a band called "Hangman's Joke." Draven and his fiancee are murdered on Halloween night, and one year later Draven comes back from the dead as The Crow to get revenge. The Crow's makeup can be replicated using a white base and adding black over the eyes and lips.
Instructions
1. Cover the entire face area with a layer of white face or body paint. Allow patches of flesh tone to show through on some parts of the face. Refer to a photograph of The Crow if necessary.
2. Allow the white paint layer to dry completely. Use a fan to speed the process.
3. Use a standard black makeup product, such as black eye shadow, to fill in the black areas of The Crow's face paint around the eyes. Apply the black makeup with an arched makeup application brush.
4. Cover the eyelids thoroughly with black makeup. Make sure to also thoroughly cover up underneath the bottom of the eyebrows.
5. Apply black lipstick around the upper and lower lips. Use a black lip liner or makeup pencil to make the black lines coming from the lips. The black lip liner can also be used to put more detail into the lines extending from the eyes.
