Corpsepaint has a big role in black metal. I'm a very visual person and I personal enjoy it a lot if some black metal bands still use corpse paint and haven't dropped it like so many did. Bands like 1349, Abbath, Carach Angren, Behemoth, Gorgoroth etc. have very distinct corpsepaint styles and it's somehow unthinkable that they would stop doing it.
Of course I had to try it, too, haha :D My first tries at corpsepaint were a Crow-style paint for carnival in my hometown, later in Finland I would get a Misfits-corpsepaint for a Misfits cover band. That was fantastic, by the way.
Now recently I of course turned more towards black metal. I tried a few styles, the first got inspiration from Carach Angren, the second is rather dirty corpsepaint in the style of Deadspace, the third reminds me a bit of corpsepaint some members of Gorgoroth have been previously wearing.

Corpsepaint gets you into the right mood, into the right feeling. It's like dressing up for the morbidity in black metal. Once you wear corpse paint and go into public it feels like you have bonded with the satanic spirit and you are untouchable. It's definitely something you are not doing every day. It's something that should be celebrated.
And every night I am the flame
and every night there is a fire
