Lon Chaney Phantom Inspired Makeup

I love Lon Chaney! He had such an amazing talent at doing his own makeup. That is where I got the idea for doing this look. It has elements based on his character (the Phantom) in it.

I tested out foundation and some pressed powder on my hand to see what would give me the best pale look possible. I decided to go along with the pressed powder. Then I used concealer stick as eye primer and applied eyeliner to my top and bottom lids and blended it. (Applying and blending eyeliner on the bottom lids gives the "dead man's eyes" effect)

Considering the fact that in the movie, Lon's face had a greenish tint to it, I used green eye shadow on my eyelids. I didn't use blush or even worry about using concealer for any imperfections because in the story, the Phantom's face was VERY far from perfect. However, I did use some concealer and Chapstick on my lips b/c in the movie, Lon's lips were very pale and almost invisible.
