How to Apply Camouflage Face Paint

An essential for hunting or combat missions, camouflage face paint will help to keep any hunter hidden from animals or humans. Knowing the right colors to use and the right designs are essential in ensuring that your face will blend in with the surroundings and not be seen.

Things You'll Need

• Two shades of brown waterproof face paint
• Dark green waterproof face paint

Instructions

1. Test the paint to see if it is thin enough to use. If it is too thick, it will become blotchy and run off of your face. Add water to the paint and mix until it reaches a consistency that will cover your entire face effectively.

2. Add a light layer of brown to the entire face and neck to eliminate the natural shine of the face. Make sure to cover the back of the neck, the eyelids, eyebrows and bottom of the hairline.

3. With the green paint and the second shade of brown, break up the distinguishable shapes of your face. With your paint, draw vertical lines near the eyes and mouth and horizontal lines near the nose.

4. Use vertical or horizontal lines on each ear and two or three lines going vertically across the sides and front of the neck.

5. Add small vertical lines on your cheeks and your forehead. Keep the lines small so they do not look like tiger stripes.

Tips & Warnings

• Make sure the colors used are dark and earthy colors, like the colors of nature. Add black paint if desired for a shadowed look.

• Do not get the paint in your eyes or the inside of your nose or mouth.
