A good drug addict to copy off would be Mimi Marquez. Her hair is long and tangled, and she always has dark circles under her eyes.

Answer by Mercury
Pale all over, and make the lips pale too.

Dark shadows under the eye with taupe and purple eye shadow (nothing with shimmer) and make sure you blend well.

Darken the inner corner of the eye hollow.

Apart from that, nothing unless it is crucial to the character (i.e. the character always wears red lipstick etc.)

Very pale, with a blue tinge. Think corpse.

Think of the makeup they used in Sweeney Todd. Pale foundation and make dark circles around the eyes. Make sure you bring the foundation down on the neck to complete the picture. You may want to do the decolletage too and arms and hands if necessary.
