Was scanning through the thread on face paint. I used it many years ago but quit as it is such a mess and nuisance. I now use the hooded face masks of one weight or another depending on cold.
The real question is what about the reflection caused by all of us who wear glasses? I've never worried too much about it but it has to make some impact.
Anyone have any ideas on the issue?

I wear glasses and wear a boonie hat made of wool. Brim works, I guess.

Usually a fedora or short brim bowhunter cap. Glasses are a necessary evil for me. Hunting the shadows I can only blame the glass glare a couple of times and its been turkey hunting. But I've had many inside 30' and never seen me, I'm a ground hunter.

Good point about the reflection/Glare from glasses.. Seems like using a tight fitting face mask caused a problem of them fogging up. I've had good luck with camo hanging loosely from my hat, leaving enough of an opening for my bow string.
I've also wondered about the photo-gray lenses in my glasses.. do they look like two big, black scary eyes?? LOL.....

Of all things that can spook a critter glasses are my least concern. There is non reflective coating that can be added to the lens

On a training excerise I was told to put that paint on my glasses. Just leave a hole big enough to see straight ahead. Well I made enough noise tripping around because I couldn’t see I wiped it off. Learned to use my hat and stay in shadows. Best way to learn is go out at night in a full moon and move around with someone watching you.

Next time you get glasses have your eye care professional have the lenses done with the anti-reflective coating.

Works great if you want to rob a bank on the way home from a hunt too! ;-)

Been wearing glasses for about 40 years. Critters don't seem to notice, and I don't worry about it. Only problem I have is fogging in very cold weather.

have you ever noticed sunlight glaring off of a slick green leaf? dew? wet leaves? puddle of water? if the sun is hitting the lens to cause a glare it will be glaring in the wearer's eye also most of the time. I believe, unless you're wearing mirror lens, if you are trying to shade the glasses with a hat for your own comfort, you're minimizing any glare the animals will see. anti-glare coatings are more for the wearer's eyes than eliminating reflections for the audience.

I hope they don't notice my glasses. I am self conscious about them. :)

been hunting with glasses my whole life and have shot deer off the ground less then 10 ft off the end of muuzzleloader and never had them notice my glasses..have killed them off the ground with no face paint/mask or anything also, its more about knowing how to and when to move.. I also have the transition lenses and that helps hide my eyes/reflections.
