Facepaint That Works??

Thinking about ditching the camo gloves this year and just rubbing some black paint on my hands. Tired of keeping up with gloves and they deaden the sound of my trumpet calls. Of course no gloves are needed if you just sit still, but I like to be as well concealed as I can within reason. Problem is most brands of facepaint won't stay where you put it. It never dries, stays greasy and rubs all over your gun, calls, and equipment. Anyone know of any facepaint that actually stays put without coming off on everything you own?

Carbomask Camo has worked for me.

Carbo mask is awesome. I use it bowhunting. When done you can take a baby wipe and take it right off without having to scrub hard.

Another vote for Carbomask. It goes on and comes off easy. Very easy actually, but it will not rub off while hunting. It has a matte appearance too, not an oily and shiny look. Definitely the best warpaint on the market!

Carbomask is deactivated charcoal in a liquid suspension.  Goes on real easy, no grease, dries fast, and comes off easy with wipes, but doesn't rub on to other stuff when it is dry on your skin.

Do NOT use mud!!! There're a lot of micro organisms that can be present in mud that can lead to major health issues.

Good point. When you're in the medical field, taking a class in microbiology will change your perspective on a lot of things.

I use the military camo sticks. Same we used when I was in the Army that stuff stays on sweat or not. It comes off no problem with soap but other than that it stays. Get the real military surplus stuff not the imitation which isn't as durable.
If you make everything easy how do you know when your good at anything?

Best I have ever used as far as staying on is the old Fred Bear stuff in the tubes, have fun finding that anymore though. I had gotten a bad bottle of the Carbomask and the company sent me another, I tried on the second tube at home and it was fine, much thicker than the other tube I had gotten. Unfortunately it just ran off in the field when I started to sweat, so I will just keep using what I have left of that old Fred Bear face paint.

Carbon masks is nice because it comes off easy. I also carry dead down wind face paint in the orange stick in my vest  to re apply or fill in some spots on my kids face when his mask isn't covering his face well. I also use h.s strut in tubes and green plastic box with the mirror. Carbon mask comes off the easiest
