How many of you are face painters. Last season I switch to using face paint in KS, since I forgot my mask at my relatives house that I was staying at for the week. I love paint because my glasses don't fog like they do with a mask, and I can setup quickly and not worrying about getting my mask on. The down side is getting the crap off, until I found this company CarboMask. This stuff is awesome doesn't even feel like your wearing it and comes off easily with water and light rubbing. This stuff hold op well in the rain. I'm never wearing a mask again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuhR6KZtiNM
As a guy that also wears glasses, I feel your pain. As for paint, I've got mixed feelings on that one. Just started wearing paint for bow hunting in the last couple years. Something happened and now, wearing a mask in bow season, my anchor isn't consistent enough for me to feel confident when releasing an arrow. Like you, I'm not a fan of the removal process. I've found it easier to just keep a few alcohol wipes to clean my glasses and an anti fog wipe in my vest at all times. Makes my life simpler to some degree. OMMV.
I'm not a big fan of headnets, but when the mosquitos and blackflies are bad It's almost impossible for me to hunt without one. When I can get away with it, I like to use a camo bandana Jessie James style and pull my hat brim down low.

Does it come off if you wipe the sweat off your face?
Tried using face paint many years ago late in the season. I figured it wouldn't be as hot as a mask. I ended up hunting in a swampy area that day and, by the time I was done, I had what seemed like 500 mosquitos stuck to my face!! Haven't tried it since! But I do know a few fellas use it all the time and a few that don't use anything (mask or paint).
I rarely wear one and have never did the paint. I just pull my cap bill down low. By the time he sees me it should be to late. Same with gloves. Rarely wear them unless it's chilly

It does look a heck of a lot more user friendly than most of the other stuff I've seen. The only time I use any paint is during bow season for deer, but I may try some of this. I always wished somebody would come out with some that dried rubbery so it could just be peeled off. This may be the next best thing to that.
Thanks Moore,

Burn the end of a wine cork...
The 2 best solutions I have found for the glass fogging problem are first, this specifically designed mask...

And the glass cleaning/treating product: PARKER'S PERFECT
This stuff really works great! I keep a small spray bottle and a cloth in my pocket all the time while afield. :icon_thumright:
Carbo Mask is the stuff!! Been using it for about 5 years now. Dries smooth and won't wipe off clearing sweat and holds up in the rain. It's carbon based, so it helps with scent control during deer season. I carry field wipes in my truck and one wipe will clean my off what I have on with little effort!! I personally use a mask, as well as carbo mask under my eyes to reduce glare. That way my glasses don't fog up on me. IMO.
Its paint so you will have reapply it like any other face paint.
Never tried the face paint. Won't say I won't, but I use a mesh mask sometimes. Often I find myself not wearing anything but a cap. This year I got a new Bottomland mesh face mask so I will be using that often.
I've been debating on switching to face paint but the mosquitoes keep me from switching in the spring. Also I wear a scent shield face mask in the fall when deer hunting to help keep any scent down and to help with bugs during bow season. I wear gloves for the same reason in both spring and fall as well.

I'm with you. . I wear glasses in the field and use a 3/4 mesh face mask only pull up when I'm seated. Never had a problem hogging up my glasses and there's no paint to mess with.
I once forgot my hat and face mask. . I killed a bird right of the roast with little branches tucked into my headlamp's elastic band.

If its cold/cool I stick with a headnet. If its warm/hot facepaint is the only way to go for me.

Okay, I'm going to have to give this stuff a try. I used to use the greasy stuff for duck hunts and never liked it. I've been happy with my Ol Tom Boonie Hat / Mask for turkey hunting, but I'll be wearing prescription shooting glasses for the first time this year and hope this will avoid fogging problems. My lab has got it figured out.

:TooFunny: a little more of that on him and you got yourself a turkey dog
Check out Hoo-Rag's Mossy Oak headgear. I wear one with a ball cap.
Have tried the paint and it wasn't very user friendly. I wear glasses and a 3/4 net. Put the makeup on my brow,ears and bridge of my nose.Lately I have just been using burn't cork as Hankyorke suggests. It works pretty good and is a flat black.No shine. I will try the Carbomask though.
I 2nd the burning the end of a real cork from a wine bottle (not the plastic ones)
Char it up a little and draw on, its easy to clean off with a little water
Give it a try and let us know what you think.

That is one happy dog. :TooFunny:

I agree with others on burning the end of a wine bottle cork. I wear glasses and have issues with a face mask. Goes on flat black and super easy to take off with a wet cloth.
I've tried CarboMask and it's definitely better than any other face paint out there, but I still hate wearing it. I wear a 3/4 face mask for turkey hunting, and have had the same problem with glasses fogging up in colder mornings. Even when deer hunting my glasses would always fog up walking to my stand even without a face mask on. I recently had LASIK surgery and it has been the best decision I've ever made, no more glasses for me. When my doctor asked me the reason I wanted LASIK surgery, I told him straight up, "I'm tired of my glasses fogging up when I'm hunting." He laughed and said, "good enough." I swear if I didn't hunt I would have never gotten that surgery lol...

Makeup remover works like a charm, I always have a package of it in my truck for getting face paint off, it's cheap and available at grocery stores and pharmacies.

Come on now, the bugs have to eat too. ;D They can be rough, can't they?

I wear glasses and use a mask without any fogging problems. When I first started turkey hunting I used camo face paint but didn't like the mess so I went to a mask. Like has been said before you'll kill a lot of turkeys without a mask or gloves if you don't move when they're coming to the call. But then again I feel exposed if I don't wear my camo mask and gloves!
Tip for you glasses guys. Fill a bowl with water add a couple of Johnsons baby shampoo swirl it around and dip your glasses into the bowl then lightly wipe off. No more fog and it works better than any product.
Learned it from diving.
