Default OK let's see them... face paint patterns

I'm just getting into face paint and wanna see some art. I've beenpondering what patterns would camoflauge my face best with the woods and I'm thinking diagonal lines?

You have to get with Dan aka Washington Hunter. He is the undisputed king of facepaint!

I just bought two kits myself....I will likely just randomly smear it on...it doesnt really matter honestly.

Dan knows all the ups and downs of it though

I like to cover my face as much as I can ... ears and neck too.
I'll use black , grey , green and brown , black and grey on the nose , chin , cheeks and forhead , green and brown everywhere else.
Like in the picture you see below my face is coverd very well.





Thanks Greg/ Mo for bringing that thread up.
Saved me the trouble of looking for that pic.

Too messy for me. I sometimes wear a facemask but most of the time I'm hiding behind my bow to break up my silouette anyway when a deer is near. Never ever been a problem. But it does at least look cool.

I agree Tribal, it's a pain in the ass to not only put on but to take off as well.

Depending on weather, I wear a head net, balaclava, neck gaiter, half mask, half mesh, etc.. or nothing and do exactly what Tribal does.
