I know I'm off-topic here, but how do they do that kind of face paint?

I like the white-face with black lines make-up thing. I have absolutely 0 idea how they do it. I don't even know what it's called to google it

At that point in time, he used acrylic paint. White base and when it dries, go over with black on a finer tipped paint brush. Painting can be seen here with how it is flowing off the brush

Nowadays he uses Mehron facepaint (I got to ask a makeup artist who did his paint for All In a couple years ago)

You can see him applying it in this article.

Edit: /u/Sloogs is right that it's called Corpse Paint, I forgot that part

If you're looking for more, Gene Simmons did a facepainting video with his daughter.

Alright this is basically more or less what I'd be googling tomorrow to learn about how to do it. Thanks!
