I bought some last year and was very disappointed in it, it was very wet, gritty and did not even stay on an hour and I put it on before I went on the 20 minute drive to the woods. I don't know if I got a bad batch or what but the old Fred Bear paint I have stays on better than that did. What did stay on did come off very easy as advertised though.

I never experienced those problems with Carbo Mask.

Sounds like it had settled out in the tube. I've seen that.  Shake it up real good before you put it on.

Carbo mask is by far my favorite. It needs a good shake if it's settled for too long.

I will try that in the morning.

Followup on my above comments, I did try shaking it up and it did not work so I contacted the company and told them the experience that I had with their product and they sent me a new tube of the same and I can tell you the difference was night and day, I could tell it was much thicker just holding the container in my hand, I shook up both containers then went and applied some to each side of my face, the old one on one side and the new to the other and the new one did not feel at all gritty, applied better than the old one and dried much faster as well. I will give it a try this Spring. The manufacturer said that when you buy from big mass marker websites like Amazon you never know how long it has been sitting around degrading so I will buy directly from them when I do order more.

I use this stuff from duck commander in black. Doesn't come off when I sweat but comes off super easy. I have a beard and glasses and put it around my eyes and cheeks. Started using it last season and will continue.

I also wear glasses and a beard and apply face paint the same as well as any part exposed under my face mask. I will pick up so other colors as well so I can try them as I try sitting on the ground this year, only thing I will not like is the bugs which is a major reason I wear a head net and booniehat. I am planning to get a Thermacell so maybe that will help, never used one before.

I don't wear glasses but I do use face paint all the time and when I sit down to work a gobbler I pull up my face mask. Next time you see another hunter in the woods what is most noticeable? His face shines and sticks out like a sore thumb. I don't want to take a chance of a gobbler spotting me while I'm moving thru the woods and having a mask on all day is no fun either. Ive had Gobblers and hens 5 feet from me sitting next to a tree when there that close I think a mask works better to hide you. I prefer the loose fitting netting  kind not the form fitted ninja masks. As far as paint the military sticks work well they last all day sweat or not I have a lifetime supply of OD green and Brown. I've found baby wipes work well to remove face paint.

Another vote for carbomask.

  I also wear glasses and the only mask that I've had success with is the Bandito 3/4 mask from Quaker Boy. It has a wire frame around the eye opening, which I can form around my glasses and they won't fog up. Plus I like the fact that it's around my neck, so when I need to make a quick set up all I need to do is pull it up.
 
  I've been using these masks for many years and unfortunately the product quality isn't what it was 20 years ago, they still work good for me.

I love the hardy face paint. Stays on, does not smudge, and is easy to clean off.
