My boyfriend. He actually let me paint his face, im surprised. Of course he had to bitch and moan about it for an hour before he finally let me do it. Unfortualy the left background is kinda noisy, hope no one really minds

I think you should try it again, if he will let you. All that's wrong with this is it looks tentative. IMHO. One of those smooth-on, peel-off beauty masks would protect his skin from the dye in the face-paint. Pose him against a white BG that matches his eye-whites, & don't let his natural skin color show. Maybe work out your lighting in advance to light the black separately from the red. Later, you can work it up to look like a cover for Rolling Stone Magazine or something. "D
The lighting appears to be a little flat and some detail has been lost in the forehead area. Still, this image has a slightly disturbing (and compelling) element to it that I can't quite explain. It might have to do with the very direct stare and the paint running down the neck. . .
Sorry, I don't get it. The eyes are piercing, yes, but wouldn't they still have been without the mess? In an all-black field, maybe? Don't see the need for the red.
It must have been some party! The eyes need to be "more" I feel, at the moment the red/black contrast overpowers them, the nose is also "lost" in the black
