Default Face paint

I usually hunt with a face mask but would rather not . I tried face paint in the past . I was very unhappy with it . It would smear and get in my eyes and on my cloths . Just to greasy. I would love to find a good face paint or maker that is not greasy without buying the hole store to try them all. Anyone have any ideas ?

Carbomask is what you are looking for. It has activated carbon in it to reduce odour, is clay-based and non-greasy. It does dry out a crack a little bit, but it has worked for me. Because it dries, it is non-reflective.

Go to Walmart in the costume dept. Best deals are just after Halloween, a buck a tube. Made by Rubies.

Baseball eye black is suppose to work well. I will be trying it out this year instead of a mask

Default Burnt cork

Get a wine bottle cork and burn it to use as face paint. Used it a lot for ball and has worked well for hunting. Cheap and affective.

This stuff works well for me. Easy to apply, sweat proof and washes of easily.

I personally hate any and all face paints...but better than nothing...

I prefer the Great day Spandoflauge masks with a slit for eyes...

form fitting stretch fit..doesnt interfere with shooting...breathable yet keeps bugs off

When not needed I pull bottom of eye slit down under chin for full face free, than back up when camo needed...

Default Fogging

I have some face nets that I like a lot, it's true they all play hell with fogging up glasses.
