How should I do vampire makeup for a black male?

I tried doing a google image search for vampire makeup, but all the images are caucasian. I'm african american and a lil dark, so I dont think that would necessarily apply to me...What are your recommendations on what I should do to appear vampirish? My costume will be regular clothes, so I need the makeup to give away that I'm a vampire.How should I do vampire makeup for a black male?
I'm black and i'm not going to do any cheesy white/gray makeup. Blade didn't wear cheesy makeup. You don't have to wear that crap. This is what I'm wearing:





The Scarecrow fangs in Small


Aqua Immortal contact lenses


A purple and black sequin pencil dress like the old days that I bought off ebay. It has a diamond cut out back. Super sexy.


Black satin elbow gloves


Superhigh heels


A wide brim 40s vintage black hat with the netting in front


My cigarette holder (the long skinny sticks you put your cig in like in the old days)





I'm getting my face done up by the people at M.A.C. I'm going for vamp glam, not B-movie vamp.





All you need to appear vampirish is to get a pair of Scarecrow Fangs (the ones that only attach to your canines), some wicked special fx lenses. Get industrial and wear all black, maybe some black combat boots, a leather jacket. Rent BLADE!





The fangs and the eyes will say enough.

This is where I got my fangs ane eyes. The brand I got was Immortal in Aqua. But they have other insane effects contacts to choose from.How should I do vampire makeup for a black male?
You could try to use a white or light shade to put on your whole face, then apply the black makeup?
Well since vampires are ';dead'; they're supposed to be pasty. Take white Halloween makeup and cover your whole face. Use black to darken your eyebrows and around your eyes and put a little red on your lips or paint on drops of blood coming from your mouth. Make sure you got the fake teeth. Since you're wearing your regular clothes, make sure to wear a collared shirt under your cape. Hope this helps.
Depending on the exact deepness of your coloring I would use like a black Blush to make your cheek bones sink in and maybe eyeliner and lipstick.
