Facepaint for me.  I detest facemasks and nets.  Carbomask comes off very easily with just water.  Fliptops with mirror from Walmart.......I have to get my face hydroblasted!  I did try some burnt cork this week.  Did not cover well for me and smelled terrible when it burnt.  I will stick with my carbomask face paint.

The key with facepaint is applying it in an asymmetrical random pattern.  I see far too many guys apply it in a mask-like pattern which does nothing to break up your face.

Years ago my wife went along hunting with me.

So we are in the bathroom applying the face paint.

A little goes a long way, right?

I glanced at her in the mirror and all I could see was her teeth and the whites of her eyes, her whole face was black.

I totally lost it and busted out laughing.

I laughed the whole 300 yards to the tree stands.

I couldn't even look at her in her stand without busting out laughing.

Didn't see ah damn deer that night.

LOL

Tink's at one time made a camo dust  it worked pretty good.  easy to get off when you washed your face.

I wear a light weight mask, like the one in Stumpkillers  pic. Just enough to knock down the glare.

But she was there with you, more than can be said for many.

I use a lightweight hood and also cotton camo gloves, and it works very well. I used to use paints, but disliked the messy cleanup. Yesterday, I had a doe come in to about 12 yards. She did not spook, even after checking me out very closely.

I've used several methods to break-up my shiny-face the when hunting Whitetails in Northern Michigan since the late 60's.    In the  early years we grabbed a burnt chunk from the fire the night before (miss those nighttime bs sessions) and gave our cheeks a quick darkening.  burnt cork was not available in those days as the beverage cans had no corks!  :dunno:

Facepaint.Only downside is the scrubbing off.

Just learned a trick, with some greasy hand lotion the paint comes off easiest with a couple of tissues.

I got a camo neoprene face mask, the kind bikers wear, for this season. I'm liking it. It's thin enough for me to feel my anchor, a Velcro closure holds it in place so it doesn't slide around and block my vision the way my fleece ones did, and it keeps my face nice and warm. Best $8 I've spent on hunting gear.

Burnt cork on the ground.  Usually nothing in a tree.  Just depends on the situation.

Very seldom a y more.  I have an assortment of the thin tubes you wear to protect you from sun and wind burn, in various camo patterns, I use most of the time.
