Burnt cork makes an excellent face cover put some around your eyes to camouflage  the face and the glasses.

It only happens to me when I cover my nose. The warm moist air travels up and fogs you up. I only have a problem in the severe cold due to the fact I cover my nose. First thing I do is pull my mask down before I shoot. I have to use a thin mask of it will mess my anchor up or I perceive it will mess my anchor up.
If you really do not want to fog up, place a piece of plastic tape over your nose to prevent the air from rising up and under your glasses. I do this everyday at work with my surgical mask.

I put my glasses in a case and put them in my pocket. I can't shoot worth squat with them on, but I bring them along so that I can visit Tradgang and so that I don't cut my own fingers off if I have to dress out a deer. I also tried contacts, but they are more of a pain than they are worth. I can see just fine at longbow range.

Cut a mouth hole in the mask and if that doesn't fix it, cut an opening for your nose too ... then breath through your ears    :biglaugh:

Just don't cover your nose.

I can't see an arms length without my glasses.  When I clean them I use a spritz of "Ultra Clear" that my optician carries and wipe with a micro-fiber cloth (also from my optician).  I think the latter is treated with an anti-fog.
 
I find getting small lenses helps.  I wear either a 1/2 or 3/4 mask that pinches over my nose and I cut a "breathing hole" for my nose/mouth.

As mentioned above Anti-fog hockey visor spray. Should work well.

Fletcher X2. With the mask up over my nose, there is no way to keep the glasses from fogging up. Plus, the negligible amount of reduced face concealment as a result won't matter. Never used camo paint as it probably won't do much to keep your face warm in cold temps. Never used contacts.
