Looks like I'm going to have to start wearing glasses when hunting this year. Curious if anyone can recommend a face paint. I have a couple facemasks that may work, but going to explore face paint as well. Any recommendations besides the little $4 camo compacts. Preferably something easy to get off
I used to wear face paint all the time. I found out putting on a layer of cold creme first really facilitated the removal. Its been years and I used gear grease paint.
Carbo Mask. Haven't used turkey hunting, had to for the beginning of Bow season when super hot out.
Goes on easy, stays on and easy to wipe off.
I was using face paint. Went through a ton of masks. The Mossy Oak Tibbee Flex Mesh Mask has worked well for me. I will still rarely get some fogging but it is very rare. Also, great for when the mosquitos decide to visit.

Try this. I have a hunting buddy that wears glasses and he had a problem with his glasses fogging up. I gave him one of these and it solved his fog problem. The mesh allows the mask to breath really well.
I actually have the Tibbee mask, among several others. Just curious about face paint if I wanted to avoid masks altogether

I dont wear glasses yet bit this is what I wear every trip
Looks like carbomask is what I'm after. I'd heard of it before but thought they only made black.

Get you some of those prescription goggles they used to wear and I bet they'll fit over any mask!

This is my face mask of choice and they work perfect with my glasses.
I've considered using camo kt tape. I think it would work.

I carry a ziplok bag of charred corks in my truck. All you need to do is darken the high spots to take the glare off your face.
Hardy's is making it again its good face paint

Good stuff!
When I take a selfie or look in the mirror I don't think my facemask is doing a whole lot honestly. I have a beard that I think is pretty good camo. With my mask you can still see around my eyes. I think I'd be better off with a little face paint honestly.

That stuff has been around for decades. I have some still that has to be thirty years old or more. I suspect they have changed the formula over the years to make it easier to get off, but back in those early days you better have had lots of soap and water...and plenty of time to scrub...to get it off. ;D :D
I also liked Hardy face paint, but it died out in the container too fast.. carbomask looks like it might be the ticket.
I ordered some of the Carbomask. Will comment once I get to use it
I use face paint. I use Bobbie Wiener, she is a makeup artist in Hollywood and does the US military as well. here is the link below. The compact is a little bit harder to remove verse the sticks. I'm happy with them.

Walmart ..the day after Halloween...all the costume face paint is marked down to 1 dollar a tube...black is preferred
Every couple of years I'll buy up cases of it
Thanks for the post.
This will be my first year hunting with glasses. Last year I had glasses but couldn't walk in the woods in them, couldn't see in the shadows with them. I hate them for outdoor stuff other than driving.
Just went and got two new pairs. One an update to existing, the second a straight pair of long distance glasses. No progressive, no sunglass BS. Just anti reflective.
So your post made me go and get my stuff out. Had to try my new hunting glasses with my mask. Didn't seem to have any problems but didn't set outside in the 40 degree air either. Time will tell! But I sure do hate the thought of face paint!
Quaker boy 3/4 mask.
Its the early mornings that will get you. I got tired of them fogging up in the cool morning here in Minnesota. I prefer the paint myself for that reason.
