How to Do the Perfect Camo Face Paint

Whether you are hunting, playing paintball or in active combat, covering your face with camouflage paint can give you an advantage. Your face is one of the biggest givaways of your location. The camouflage will delay the opposition's recognition and reaction, so that you are able to strike undetected. Camouflage paint usually comes in a tin with three colors and a mirror. When applied correctly, it covers the shape, shadow and shine of your face in order to hide it more effectively.

Things You'll Need

Waterproof camouflage paint (brown, light green and green)

Instructions

- 1
  Rub about 1 teaspoon of brown camouflage paint in your hand to loosen it up. You can spit into it to thin it. Alternatively, you can leave it in the sun for a couple hours or carry it in your pocket where it will stay warm and pliable.
- 2
  Rub a thin layer of the brown paint all over your face and neck to eliminate shine. Be sure you cover your ears and the back of your neck. Close your eyes and apply it to your eyelids and eyebrows.
- 3
  Place light green, green and brown paint in different parts of your hand. Rub them separately to loosen them up. With two fingers, swipe up two colors at a time. Draw streaks across every part of your face. Continue until your entire face is lined. This will break up the obvious shapes of your eyes, nose and mouth. Make a couple lines on your ears and on the front and back of your neck.
