Does facepaint smell?
I am trying to paint my face everytime I go deer hunting this year because I dont like wearing a face mask. I was wondering if you guys thought that the facepaint could be smelled by deer? I know it has a little smell to it and didnt know if that would ever bother a deer or not. I bought some cheap facepaint the other day in the halloween isle to compare to the stuff made for hunting and I noticed they both smelled the same. Also I think that the facepaint in the tubes has a stronger smell than the paint in the hard case with a mirror. Thanks!

I used to use it (tubes and compact) and I always thought they both had smells. I thought the compacts had a plastic smell to it and the tubes seemed a little more like clay.
I don't know how it mattered to deer as I killed a lot of deer with face paint, but I do agree there is a smell to it.
BTW, I hated the whole facemask thing also for some of the same reasons you probably do: Too much bulk, restricting, can't find my kisser, moves when I turn, etc.. I tried out an Under Armor facemask and liked it so much I purchased another one so I wasn't without (washing and such). I was very happy to lose washing the paint off after every hunt.
Good luck,
Chris

This is good info, I bought some several yrs ago and opted to not use it cause of the smell. I opened it up and it basically filled the room with an odor. I got several types of face masks, and prefer a tighter fitting one as it sits still and moves with you. The lighter puffy ones tend to sit still when you move and cause blind spots.
