I was looking around the internet for a cheap face paint and that is easy to remove. I simply cannot wear a face mask in hot weather. I bought some last year that came in a little kit. It took me forever to wash that stuff off. Very greasy and staining also
A lot of people suggested burnt cork. Take a wine bottle cork, and char the end of it with a lighter. You can store it in an old film canister or med bottle so it doesn't get all over everything.
Since I am bored today and been home baby sitting I found an old wine cork and burned the end with a grill lighter
I just tried it and it works perfectly. I took a wash rag and it came right off. I guess I missed out on this in my childhood. It seems this trick has been around forever and kids used to do it for cheap camo playing hide and seek. Also ball players used it for eye black

What about the mesh half masks that they sell for turkey hunting? Helps keep deer flies off your face.

I just use a full face mesquito netting over my hat.
It helps to mask my pale face.

my cousin and I used to use the burnt cork when we were in our teens. Haven't done that in years, and yes it is easy to do and does work.
