I used to use the actors make up, but switched to a thin mask with just the eyes and mouth, I had a mask without a mouth and really worried about the scent accumulation from my breathing through the mask.

I like to use a mesh face net . It prevents the bugs from getting at u so much , and face paint takes forever to get off. Also it is equally as easy to shoot a kisser button with aface mask.

It all depends, I like the paint because it adds to the feeling of the hunt...I feel like I' m going into battle. But if it' s cold, I use a face mask. I dont use a kisser button, so thats not a factor for me.

Most the time 3/4 tight face mask. If cold a full head net to trap in heat. If I am stalking or in open territory, I will usually use make up.

Been using face paint for years,,like some of ya' ll,,have never liked having a mask on..I only paint my cheeks & around my eyes tho,,let my ol red beard take care of the rest(the deer think it' s a fox squirrel peekin out at em LOL)..If it' s hot(& it usually is down here)I carry a little compact mirror with me & put my paint on after I am in the stand & have cooled down a bit..Also to clean it up afterwords,,I use nothing more than Handi Wipes(or something similar),,they take it right off with no problemo..Ohhh & I do use a Spandoflauge headnet with the whole face cut out of it to hide this BlondRed mane I have..

I always wear a mask. I practice with it on before season to make sure it doesnt interfer with my shooting. Paint is just to hard to get off and doesnt protect from those pesty mosquitoes.

I use a mask with an opening for my eyes and put face paint in that opening, in case I decide to stalk, that way I won' t have any worries about the suns reflection.
