Thanks
Bob

Burnt cork.

Scent free, won't bring you out in blackheads & it's basically free (plus you get to drink the bottle of wine first

)

Burn the end of a wine bottle cork. Works great

I use Hunter Specialties face paint in the compact with the mirror. It stays on pretty well even when I sweat and comes off with a little baby oil. Never irritated my skin.

Agree with the cork or even wood ash from camp fire.

I hear Revlon is good. Need to get the base to match your skin color though.

Couldn't resist.

I would stay away from mud. Depending on where you are, there is always the chance of bacteria in the dirt.

I've used the modern military paints and have never had an issue with my skin breaking out or had any trouble cleaning up.

I have used those little "camo compacts" with no problems. But some times I just use wood ash. I have tried mud and its a bother as it dries.

Does that cork come off with just water?

Did you make us some popcorn Archer?

I've always used the military camo sticks, the stuff that looks like huge chap stic tubes.
Really hard to get off and sometimes have to soften it with bug repellent to get it on, I think this year I may try the Scent Schield camo pack, it is supposed to be very easy to wash off, which means it will probably run off with sweat...oh well what are ya' gonna do...can't get it on, can't get it off....or it won't stay on.
Time for several bottles of cabernet or merlot before bow season, need the corks
