    I like to use a wine bottle cork. I burn the end of it and let it smolder, when it cools i spread it on my face. It cleans off very easy and doesnt give off any odor.

    Its all I use. I like it much more then a face mask. I also dip so thats one reason. I use it for duck hunting as well. So its always in my pack. I would say spend the few bucks and try it out.

    No face paint for me. I do not wear make up. My stretchy face mask goes on and off much easier and faster than applying or removing make up.

    Face paint all the way. Don't like masks or head nets. Like to feel my bow string.

    I love face paint! Who cares how you use it. As long as you like it thats all that really matters.

    I've never used it either, but I typically always cover my nose and mouth with either a bandana or balaclava. I might consider it but it just seems like it'd be a pain in the butt to clean off every time. One tip I will say though, the Skin So Soft bug spray supposedly takes it off really well.

    A cheap alternative is to take a cork and burn the end and rub it on your face...it comes off pretty easily but it only comes in one color, black.

    A piece of dark colored children's concrete chalk works great once you get to your stand and it comes right off with a little moist wipe. It also doubles as an odorless wind detector with a little rub against your tree stand.

    When its hot I use paint, when cold I use a head cover. I buy the little tubes of Black Halloween paint for kids, comes off WAY easier than most face paints.. cheap, easy. Works great. I don't like having a bare face when bowhunting.

    mask= Ninja
    Paint= Clown

    LOL J/k. I have never painted my face, but I can see where it would be useful to cut down on glare.

    No face paint for me. I have a face mask that I use sparingly.
