This is what I use for face paint. I hunt with both mask and paint atdifferent times. If you use the netting mask, you can feel your anchor points better.

I'm a face painter. I have a few of those 3-color camo compacts that I carry in my hunting packs. Some brands stick better than others. Some sweat off.

I like the ones with the mirrors, and you can sit up in your stand and get really artistic while you're waiting for some action. Just another time waster.

I had my face painted like camo-skeletor once, and forgot that it was painted. I made the mistake of stopping at a convenience store on the way home. I wondered why everyone was looking at me funny. Ha.

I use make up. The type that stage performers wear. It is much cheaper, and stays on better. It's made to handle persiration.

I use a mask, bandit style and just a little tug drops it off my face as I hate shooting with it on and up.

Actually neither anymore. I used to do paint, cause I hated a mask. Now I have a neck warmer that I pull up over my nose (almost like an old time western bandit). I can flip it down just before I draw or at full draw with just a flick of my thumb. It's been working this way for probably the last 4-5 years or so.

I use a mask. Works for me and keeps those September mosquitos away from me! Never had any issues with a mask affecting my placement.
