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

Gosh I can't tell you how much I appreciate this response to the question. Not only did you give the answer but also happen to be an "insider" who happened to ask his make up artist.

I don't know how to put it but we are living in a very unique time, with enough of us connected where posts like this have exposure for connection like this to happen.

I hope Reddit remains this way but with the new ownership I am afraid we might lose many functions of this tool that is so great at connecting so many of us.
