camo face paint....any one use it?

[Bahrzoo]

Kind of cool to wear the face paint when I did years back but do not think it is really needed.

[Gerry]

I use it since i don't like face nets.

[Bill Skinner]

I prefer face painting but use a mask, especially in the early season, because the skeeters will tear your head off.  Bill

I always wear facepaint. After many years as a "grunt" in the infantry, it is second nature.  
First thing on, last thing off.
No problem getting it off, buy the "makeup" remover wipes" or dawn dish soap, or even baby wipes. A few minutes of scrubbing is no big deal, especially if it gives you confidence.
I hate a baggy screen hanging around my face and head.
And I like what Arwin said!

Roger, I'm sure you are talking about the Ranger Stick.  That stuff you almost need to sandblast off your hide 8^).

I used when I was about 12. Then graduated to spandoflage and now nothing. I think the last straw for camo paint was some USMC issue that took a wire wheel to get it off. I wore enough of it after on government time.

i might try the burnt cork idea. thanks guys.

I use face paint.becouse I can't stand wearing a face mask.and use soft soap to take it off with.

Haven't used it for years.  Mostly I'm out in open country that's fairly light.  Seldom in a tree.  I think the dark face paint actually makes you more likely to get caught in these circumstances.

Same with most of the camos.  You just look like a pounded thumb out there in dark camo.

Used it years ago. Now i just use a face mask. Much easier.

I use the holloween paint from walmart. They clearance it and I buy all the brown, green and black they have. It comes off very easy with soap and water. If its real cold and windy I'll put a mask on, but it has to be real cold....Roy

I use it. It works great. It is a little messy but I wear it. Uncle Sam has the best but it is make to stap put for some time and that makes it hard to get off.

[far rider]

Have used it in the past, but now prefer a lightweight net style mask. Think they both work fine,anything to break up your eye and cheek lines.

[Weasel]

I use face paint.  It comes of very easily with diaper wipes.  Easier than the stuff diaper wipes are intended for. :-)

I like carbomask. works good for me

[stagetek]

Mask for me. Can't stand that greasy feeling of face paint.

"The worst I have used is the military stuff in the little compact case. It takes forever to get off!"

Thats exactly the reason that I use it.  I don't have to worry about it sweating away.  I learned this the hard way while training in Okinawa.  The stuff in tubes stinks, and it comes off way to easy.

We are blessed with a very long season in SC and I start with a bit of face-paint, just a few vertical lines of carbon stuff to block the shiny cheeks and forehead. Use a Thermocell for the skeeters and I can hear well with nothing over my ears. Now it is relatively cold (27 F this morning, cold for us) and I wear a face-covering balaclava that I cut ear-holes in and can slip off the nose cover if I need to draw and touch the cock feather to my nose which is my method of double anchor along with thumb nuckle on the ear lobe. Worked real well last evening when I got a mega-doe at last shooting light. And my face stayed warm, warm the whole time. So, I use various methods but always use something to cover my face (and hands). I kind of like it when the deer look right in your eyes but don't alert. 'Course I'd rather they not look right in your eyes, but now with the leaves off, it is likely to happen!

Started with the military face paint 35 yrs ago.  Had to use cold cream to get it off.  One application lasted for days, except what came off on the pillow case at night. ha
Still use face paint - just feels right, like the indians going to war or a hunt.
Only problem I have had is during a hot day, the blow flies want to land on the paint.  Don't forget to put some on your bow hand. My bow is camo painted but my hand really shows up without camo paint.  Put some on with your camo clothes and stand in the forest and have someone take a photo. You will be suprised.  Only movement will give you away.  
Fun coming up with different patterns to put on your face and different colors.  
Had some on with my camo clothes, stopped at a filling station for gas.  The girl thought we were robbing the place.

I always wear face paint. The problem I have with face masks is they make my glasses fog and I can't get a clean release. Baby wipes take the paint off with ease.
