    ok.. Im sure some people can relate too me but I hate wearing any kind of facemask while bowhunting so what is the best facepaint to use such as a dull color not shiny and you can get it off without a grinder:lol: Thanks Guys

    I use this stuff that has 3 or 4 colors in it, it comes in a stick like chapstick, remove cap, screw up paint rub on face, good to go, hunters specialties makes on in a compact that works pretty well also, I think there is 5 or 6 colors in that one.

    I use camo fx, pretty easy to get off and put on.

    I've been using Carbomask for two years now. I really like it over any other that I've used. It's not greasy, wipes off with a wet paper towel, has a matte finish, and is also scent free.

    Carbomask for me too. I keep a wine cork and cigarette lighter in my pack in case I forget it. Cork works great too but a little slower putting on.

    If I paint my face I use camo fx. It's the easiest paint to remove for me

    Thanks deerslayer. I've been wondering the same thing for a while now. Little hot for a face mask. Just don't do the Duck Dynasty face paint job. They may know ducks but their face camo is terrible.

    I use the stuff that comes in the little rectangular box with the mirror. It works and comes off but does make your fingers dirty when putting it on

    If you want to draw antlers on your face like some dudes then I don't know what you use. if you want something that works great and is easy on and off get Carbomask.

    I've used both CamoFX and Carbon Mask in the past. I generally have a beard so that helps with my face camo so I don't need face paint much :) .

    Why don't you just keep an extra carbomask in your pack?

    I use the Dead Down Wind color wheel. It has black, green, grey and brown. It goes on pretty easy and comes off fairly easy with a field wipe/baby wipe.

    I've been happy with CamoFX the past few seasons. I have 2 or 3 of them so I'll likely continue down that path again this fall.

    Carbo Mask for me... To the poster that uses the burnt cork, have you ever read about the carcinogens that are produced by burning cork? Evidently it is some pretty nasty stuff.

    I use the DDW wind and Camo FX when I use it. I like the DDW a little better than the Camo FX, seems easier to get off.
