A subtrope of Body Paint where, just before a conflict, a character will take some sort of paint — or improvise with something closer to hand like mud or ashes — and apply it just below the eyes. The effect is something like Tribal Face Paint or army camouflage, and the implication is clear: The Gloves are Off. Sports players, especially in American Football, often do this before matches. Ostensibly, this is to reduce glare from the sun (this was examined by the MythBusters, who deemed it plausible) but it's hard to imagine that it's entirely accidental that they're also making themselves look like warriors. Compare Lipstick-and-Load Montage, where ordinary makeup is applied as if it were a preparation for battle, and Nose Art, when this is applied to a Cool Plane. |

A Thousand and One... Americas: Subverted in the twenty-third episode. Chris witnesses some Xingu natives painting some parts of their bodies with round black stains, and Chris believes this is because they're preparing for a battle; one of them is even calling Lon so he gets some black marks as well. But Chris is later told that they're actually preparing for a festive dance that is used for varied purposes like honoring a fallen chief, sealing friendships with other tribes, or performing weddings. A sumo-styled fight does take place, but it's part of the ceremony. | |

Dragon Age: In Dragon Age: Origins, mabari hounds wear warpaint called "kaddis" that helps them keep track of friend and foe in the heat of battle. In-game, it acts as gear for the player's mabari hound, boosting various stats. In Dragon Age: Inquisition, the Iron Bull and a qunari Inquisitor get warpaint (called "vitaar") instead of helmets due to being Horned Humanoids and therefore unable to wear helmets made for humans, elves, or dwarves. According to codex entries, vitaar hardens qunari skin to an iron-like quality, but is poisonous to other races. However, in-game it improves damage done, not defenses. |

Played with in the second "That Which Redeems..." arc of Sluggy Freelance during a flashback. Dungeon guard Amospia's boyfriend runs into her home to tell her the demons have invaded, only to discover that she's already wearing her warpaint, which takes hours to put on. He quickly realizes she must have expected the attack, sees through her excuse, and demands to know where her dungeon key is. She gave it to the demons in an attempt to save her boyfriend from the frontlines so they could escape together. To say things didn't go as planned would be an understatement... | |

Highlander: In the episode "Line of Fire," the villain of the week is an Immortal who was an Army scout in the Old West, and led a raid on a Lakota Sioux village where Duncan was living at the time. Duncan's girlfriend and her son were both killed in the raid. So before going after the bad guy in the modern day, Duncan puts on Lakota-style war paint, and uses a Lakota war spear as his weapon in the final fight. | |

Total Drama: In "Camp Castaways", Owen is very quick to pick up a stereotypical tribal look, including body paint, when he thinks he's stranded in the wild. He meets up with the other three contestants soon enough and together they spot smoke in the distance. Because they don't know who they're dealing with, Owen makes them all wear warpaint so that they look threatening just in case. He himself doesn't apply warpaint because he's already got the body paint and a skull-shaped helmet. All the brouhaha is dropped the moment the source of the smoke is discovered to be just Chris and Chef. | |

Mad Max: Fury Road. Furiosa paints the top half of her face with engine grease before one action scene. Grease is also used by some War Boys to cover the area around their eyes. For both of these instances it has a practical purpose, it helps them see things in the extreme glare from the Outback Wasteland. The War Boys spray chrome paint across their mouths before launching a Suicide Attack as a somewhat religious gesture so that they got to Valhalla "shiny and chrome". The paint fumes also act as a crude Intoxicative inhalant to drug them into a high to make passing easier. It should be known that the actors really did spray chrome paint or at least chrome food spray during filming. |

Avatar: The Last Airbender Sokka paints his face in grey and white when Zuko's ship is approaching the village. The paint was actually pretty scary; too bad Sokka himself isn't. After taking several levels in badass, he does it again to much greater effect while preparing to face the forces of the Fire Nation. Avatar Kyoshi was famous for her white and red face paint when going into battle, modeled after theater traditions. The same style of face paint is used by the Kyoshi Warriors to honor her. |

The Na'vi in Avatar, as well as their allies. Trudy even puts warpaint around the cockpit of her stolen Black Helicopter. Which makes sense, since she was flying the exact same helicopter the bad guys were. Friendly fire, and all. Avatar: The Way of Water shows that the war paint has become the standard for aircraft piloted by Na'vi-aligned humans. |

In Moana, the Kakamora, a race of pygmy pirates, display an unusual variant. Normally completely concealed inside of their coconut-shell armor, they appear as The Blank — but, when they decide to go to war, they literally paint on frightful visages to intimidate their foes despite otherwise being walking coconuts. | |

Odd Squad: In "Trials and Tubulations", Olive smears mud on her cheeks, nose, and chin in this fashion, before attempting to pass by angry laser chickens. This is in contrast to Otto, who smears mud completely over his face and jacket. It ends up working, and the laser chickens pay them no notice. | |

Of the symbolic variety in Blooded. After Eve shoots the stag, Ben daubs her cheeks with the animal's blood, and tells her that she has been 'blooded', and explains how this a tradition after a hunter makes their first kill. | |

Some tribes of orcs in both Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 will put various warpaints on themselves, their weapons, their mounts, and/or their vehicles prior to battle. They believe that certain colors and designs have special powers, and will emphasize that color depending on their preferences for combat (Evil Sunz love fast vehicles, so they paint their trukks and bikes red because Red Ones Go Faster). | |

In Braveheart, William Wallace (Mel Gibson's character) dons the now iconic blue and yellow face paint as he leads his men. Most likely a conflation of the supposedly woad-painted Britons with the Picts (ancient inhabitants of Scotland), both of whom the Romans faced a thousand years prior. | |

War Machine tended to paint themselves in such a manner while looking for revenge on those who cost them the Ring of Honor World Tag Team Title belts. This is an example that's not a nod to the road warriors but due to Hanson having a Celtic warrior inspired gimmick, not that that stops the comparisons with the older team. | |

After just escaping a prison transport, Ryuji paints a crude skull on his face with dirt and blood. After escaping the same transport for longer, Yusuke arrives at an art museum to steal a painting while wearing full Kabuki style facepaint. |

In the Battle Angel Alita OVA, Alita draws under her eyes streaks of blood from a friendly dog Grewcica pointlessly slaughters. In the manga, she does the same with streaks of tar before commencing battle with Makaku. The streaks become an iconic part of her look, added to her face as permanent marks when she joins the Motor Ball circuit and persisting even across multiple bodies and rebuilds. | |

In Jon Sable, Freelance, Jon applying his face paint was a standard part of his Lock-and-Load Montage, and showed that he meant business. The first time he ever did this was just before he went on his Roaring Rampage of Revenge against the poachers who murdered his family, using the ashes from his burnt home as the paint. | |

Conan the Barbarian (1982). During their Lock-and-Load Montage, Conan, Subotai, and Valeria are shown making and applying warpaint before infiltrating Thulsa Doom's lair to Save the Princess. The paint appears to be intended to break up their outline similar to disruptive pattern camouflage. | |
