Used Carbo Mask on 102 deer hunts during the 2016/2017 season and used Carbo Mask on 79 hunts last season.

My own personal choice. The next choice would be a quite distant 2nd.

How many applications do you get from a bottle?
shoot straight shoot often

Not trying to be evasive but, it depends on how much you put on each time.
I buy the bigger bottles...not sure the size off the top of my head.

I only use it maybe 2 times a week during my 3 month hunting season.
2x4x3=24 times appx

I've used the same bottle for 2 years now and I'm pretty sure I'll need another for this year.

I just run a few fingers worth (streaks) thru my forehead, down/across my cheeks, ears, neck, and back of hands.

Permanent Magic Marker is the most long lasting, you cannot even sweat it off, a couple of the the little neighbor kids are always wearing camo face paint, either that or their mama tattooed them.

We use Dead Down Wind face paint and another cheaper Wally World type. We buy unscented baby wipes to keep in the truck and a few in ziploc bags in our packs for easy removal of paint.

We have been using the Hardy paint stays on very well even with taking layers on and off over your head. Cleans off with Baby wipes

Another fan of carbomask especially in early bow season when it is hot.  Check it from year to year because I have seen a time when the black color seemed to become "black water" during the off season.  Only one tube one time though.  Very easy to get off and I have a lot easier time coming to anchor with face paint than a mask or net.

HS, Hunters Specialties Camo Cream is all I'll use.  On easy and stays on all day, even while sweating.   At night a little soap on a wash rag and it comes off easily.

Another burnt cork user here. Works well and is real cheap if you are already a wine drinker!

Using the wine cork for camo is also good for the enviroment. Keeps the landfill from overflowing with corks!

At various times I have used burnt cork, commercial paints, and military camo, but I really didn't like any of them. I use a hooded face mask, because it is light and doesn't run. In chilly weather it keeps my cheeks a tad warmer, and in hot weather, I wet it and it is refreshingly cool. Clean up is a non-issue. I just do not believe in face paints simply because they are messy.

I like carbo mask and it comes in various colors and cleans up with wet wipes..although I kinda quit and started wearing a face mask instead normally..
