BCB International Camouflage face paint product review

[@1187travis]

Two tone sticks seems pointless being side-by-side. I'm old school Army. We had two-tone sticks but from opposite sides of the tube. Of course they never had a brown. Standard was Lite green and loam, lite green & tan and a loam & white. I never saw the Lite green & tan tubes. Going to look into this brand. Thanks Brent. :)

[@MeisterSexy11]

just learned that face paint is meant for concealing the reflective shine of from your natural oil. I would've never thought of it like that. Thumbs up Brent

[@Brent0331]

Thanks brother.

[@austinlee6834]

Thanks for all your videos brother. Trying to teach my kid a lot of this stuff for different reasons, and a lot ive forgotten in 20 yrs. we love the information you put out and thanks again.

[@Brent0331]

Thanks brother.

[@fulcifan6946]

you can set the makeup with foot powder. Just apply powder on the makeup and brush off the excess. this helps prevent the makeup from rubbing off.

[@fiskersproductions]

That's an old clown trick

[@wingatebarraclough3553]

One difference i strongly recall, from when i was a cadet in canada to being in the us army, was that as cadets we were pretty hot on scrimming our helmets and rifles and applying face paint, and in the us army, not so much.

[@sabre2182]

Like the Brits, camming up and using helmet scrim etc. is required in the Canadian Forces.....has been for decades.......with the "new" ( late 80's) helmets with the CADPAT covers and NET that was issued...CADPAT strips of material was issued to "scrim" the helmet............failing that...wild vegetation is expected......The Brits do the exact same thing........The Germans as well...and the Germans are THE masters at camming up their vehicles etc as standard practice....seems the US forces it is almost never done...certainly was seldom done that I ever saw in NATO Ex's with them.....

[@SurvivorMetalMan]

Another Excellent video Brent!

[@Brent0331]

Thanks

[@AlphaCharlieConcepts]

I've been needing to replenish my supply, going to have to check these out and give them a try. 👍🏻

[@therock809]

You should do a Ghille suit camouflage video in woodland and desert environment and show how you made the ghille suit in the other video you did about camouflaging weapons gear and equipment.

[@ethanlucas181]

You are a grade-A badass. I really enjoy the effort that you put into these videos. Keep it up.

[@Brent0331]

Appreciate it brother.

[@garybryant7274]

When I was on active duty in the Corps, head shaving wasn't allowed and was considered an eccentric haircut. Nowadays it's different. Do you recomend painting the whole head if you shave or cover it up with a headrag or booney hat of some sort? We always mixed our paint sticks with deet or spit. Good video, Marine! Semper Fi.

[@Brent0331]

Thanks, I've got a lot of buddies with shaved heads in the Marine Corps. You'll always have something on your head whether it is a kelvar, boonie or cover.

[@TheMylittletony]

I got some of these because of this video. I am not disappointed at all, great stuff.

[@Brent0331]

Awesome brother, glad to hear and glad I could help make up your mind on picking it up.

[@895austin]

In my platoon it was a punishment to use the military issue face paint sticks, if you didn't bring your own face paint. Those things were like plastic. What I hated about the compacts was I would use more of one color then the other. So for me, I just used the tubes and bought twice as much of the one I used the most. Plus the tubes go on so fast.

[@Brent0331]

I hear ya brother... I'm a tube guy too.

[@jimpaull731]

The Britts learned after wearing red coats with a white cross over the chest was a bad idea, so they went and perfected the drawing-board

[@ScottyM1959]

In my day, 80 - 84 all we had was loam and green sticks with the colors on opposite sides of the tube was the way to go. Compacts are much better so I'm glad the SOPs have changed.

[@karstenvlahos941]

Great job and a very interesting topic, I have never had any instruction on how to apply face paint. Great work and thank you!

[@Brent0331]

Thanks

[@Tnav02]

It's nice to see other types of face camo especially from other countries. A lot better than the old military stick paint from early 70s ,that stuff felt like it was pulling off your skin. What I would do was put on a light coat of Vaseline then use the stick and it would apply just like the tube cream on your video. Plus it didn't cake on and lasted a good amount of time! Thanks Brent !

[@jdshillbilly1229]

outstanding presentation, this appears to be a superior product than others, great news about being chosen to judge the contest. how warm was the face paint when applied? I remember the stuff 20 years ago seemed to be left over from Vietnam. had to keep it in a pocket for a few hours to soften it up.

[@Brent0331]

It was about 60 degrees outside with a wind chill. Didn't have any trouble applying it.

[@jdshillbilly1229]

Very good, thank you for sharing this, very thorough.

[@ericferguson9989]

The only kind of makeup you'l ever see me wear! Wet ashes from a fire also works. It actually looks kind of green. You can use the coals for dark contrast. Bug spray helps soften cam stick to make it easier to apply, plus it helps keep the bugs away.

[@Swisswoods]

Dear Brent, great video as always. Bcb has been around a long time, and still wide used. Brits are very heavy on camo.14 yr old cadets already "If you can be seen you can be hit, if you can be hit you're dead!" .... constantly ... and god forbid if you forgot to reapply, but you only forgot once. Be fun to see if they did in Alpenflage now though... :-) Thanks, great info in your videos, appreciated. C.

[@tomm2812]

Good review. Seemingly good product. Now video on how and where on kit to place natural vegetation for form breaking. Best

[@BlueCR055]

Nice gradient. But I would add some more green on your left eye and some dark grey/black on the nose, chin, cheek bones to break the features.

[@RKW1138]

I realise you're just doing an advertisement but camo paint seems very 1980's. Wearing a military spec balaclava has the advantages of :- 1) Quicker to put on and take off with no mess. 2) Comes in multiple patterns to match BDU. 3) Absorbs sweat, prevents sweat running into eyes and provides additional cooling. 4) Stops sand/grit and any other undesirable shit entering your mouth. 5) Flame retardant. 6) IR protection. If you're thinking well what about the eyes well a good boonie sorts that out and you will likely be wearing eye pro or NVG's.

[@Brent0331]

Appreciate the reply but the last thing I want on my head for hours on end is a balaclava. We were issued light weight flame retardant balaclavas in Afghanistan. No one wore them unless they were in a turret in an MRAP. Even then guys hated wearing them. I doubt anyone operating in hot or humid environment like that of Iraq, Afghanistan or the jungles of southeast Asia would prefer having a balaclava covering their head.

[@brucecamparmament3728]

No way man, wayyyy too hot.

[@AlphaCharlieConcepts]

Bruce@CampArmament Way, WAY too hot.

[@TylerLL2112]

RKW1138 Call me weird but, I find using a shemaugh in the heat to be better than not having one. Don't know about a balaclava though. But, a Durka Durka rag seems to work better for me than face paint. However, I haven't served in the desert sun so, I'd take Brent and Bruce's word for it. I find face paint uncomfortable to wear but, I'm a bitch so...

[@lorenzodemonteclaro1301]

You should make a video about homemade camouflage cloathing

[@jaighter]

13:05 the special kid coming back from a bathroom break

[@purelyelizabeth4201]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@brucecamparmament3728]

Ordered a set! Found it on Ebay.

[@Brent0331]

Nice

[@Jkp1321]

Wow that camo. Please do a banjo camo effectiveness video. On the real though can you do a face paint application video? You seem to be a lot better at it than a lot of KZbinrs

[@Brent0331]

I have a little segment in my "Camouflaging weapons, gear and equipment" video. But its pretty much the same thing you see here in this video.

[@hrdknox2000]

Thank you for this! I have been looking for camo paint for a while and the only suitable one I could find was the Duck Dynasty brand. I'm sure it will work just fine but I'd rather have a camo paint specifically designed for the purpose of human to human concealment.

[@Brent0331]

Seems to be the case here, again this is the first face paint I've ever seen that advertises that it has IR reflective properties.

[@hrdknox2000]

I'm having a hard time navigating their website. No prices were listed and it was hard to see where your shopping cart is.

[@Brent0331]

Did you try here: bcbadventure.com/product-category/tactical-outdoor/camouflage/

[@extrarounds3827]

buying some right now...Great for kit...awesome vid man I watch all the time

[@Brent0331]

Thanks

[@RustyNail5856]

Very good review. that BCB face paint look nice and holds up well, thanks for the info. take care.

[@Brent0331]

Thanks.

[@Crusader1097]

Brent, have you had to use a lighter to heat up the stick so it applies easier? I've had to with cheaper ones, but this looks like it goes on pretty smooth.

[@elijahcampbell6347]

Would love to see your take on kryptek nomad camo and maybe on weapons and gear

[@Peter-ox7wh]

Great as always 👍👍

[@Brent0331]

Thanks

[@cbrucesbiz]

Dang did not know you were a white guy till now. Always looked at you camo in the woods stuff. LOL. Best info. Thanks!

[@neilcastell6951]

make up for men, ... i have in the past used all those, imo the compact is best, but the stick was good for touching up, Also ... it goes on easier with a little saliva mixed in (yours or your buddy's, lol)

[@constantinozentenojr.6368]

Can you put the tube paint into the camo compact, when the compact runs out of paint?

[@woodytheamerican271]

Personal I don’t like using the tube paint simply because after being in the field for awhile the paints would just fall out of the tube and you’d lose the cap. Wish I would have had compacts

[@williampennjr.4448]

the thing i hated most about wearing camo paint in the army was the smell. followed by how much it made me feel even dirtier than I already was.

[@doneanddone4952]

I live in the southwest and crap like compacts usually melts. Are the tubes sturdy enough? P.S., for the love of Pete use a moisturizing foundation first you savage.

[@Brent0331]

lol... as far as melting brother, I don't know, maybe stick to the squeeze tubes. I will tell you that this compact's contents are a lot thicker than the ones I have bought previously. I don't know if that means it will hold up longer to extreme heat or not.

[@Warhawkx]

Those cream tube camos look like some I have made by Hunters Specialties.

[@nightfury6836]

Well done Brent 👍🏾

[@Brent0331]

Thanks

[@rubenmaat9877]

nice make-up tutorial, i will totally copy you!

[@Warhawkx]

Hey Brent, I've heard black is terrible in the field, any chance of doing a video on it?

[@Brent0331]

too much black yes, but I am not opposed to black in camouflage in certain environments. I think it creates artificial shadow.

[@brucecamparmament3728]

Im trying to convince him to do a "black" camoflauge effectiveness video!

[@oiitzME1266]

another great informative vid.thanks man

[@Brent0331]

Appreciate it brother.

[@akfiler2104]

thanks for the info . any chance you know where to get a compact version in Alpenflage colors ?

[@Brent0331]

Thanks for watching. Unfortunately no.

[@twouzex]

At the First time a have Seen you in the german series Galileo

[@wakangaroo7722]

same here. but in Russian tv

[@robgreneveld1008]

can you do a video on the Airforce Camo pattern. (ABU) ?

[@Brent0331]

+rob greneveld Absolutely....Not! lol I did UCP that's close enough. I'm sure someone else has done a video on it already.

[@robgreneveld1008]

HAHAHA, all good. Was tying to prove a point to people about that camo not blending well in the woods :D

[@leninjesusrodriguez8575]

please; can you tell me how do you do to put the knife in a vertical position near to the shoulder inside the yoke.iam sorry my english is so good.

[@Brent0331]

Tie it with 550 cord. www.paracordplanet.com/multi-camo-550-paracord/?attributes=eyI3NDMzIjoiMTkxMiJ9&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIm6mA2Zz_1AIVhDFpCh2_TQinEAQYAyABEgKmlPD_BwE

[@leninjesusrodriguez8575]

thankiu

[@TheMylittletony]

How does this stuff hold up against sweat and/or friction? How often should it be reapplied?

[@Brent0331]

The label says its sweat resistant. I can only speak for that hour that I wore it. Camouflage is continuous, you need to reapply when you can and when applicable.

[@TheMylittletony]

***** thx, I'm going to get some to try it out. Let's see how it holds up.

[@leninjesusrodriguez8575]

As you mount the knife in vetical at shoulder height

[@Brent0331]

+Lenin Jesus Rodriguez And???

[@jaroslaw959]

What about face camouflage in snow?

[@eldermean2166]

Probably a dumb question but are you still active duty?

[@Brent0331]

I'm no longer on active duty but serve in the reserves now.

[@DR-mk2in]

Can you make a video on individual field craft

[@Brent0331]

As far as what, I have several videos on individual considerations for camouflaging gear/patrolling etc.

[@williampennjr.4448]

Army camo, made your feel dirtier than you already were, made you sweat even more made your nasal congestion worse and worsened your acne. and you had to deal with the nasty smell you could never get used to.

[@StevenTheAristolianNerd]

He does another face paint video with One Shepherd.

[@deancaul9960]

How to purchase? the website doesn't give that option.

[@Brent0331]

Another person commented that Its on Amazon and possibly Ebay as well.

[@deancaul9960]

Checked Amazon and they only had the sticks. I'd like to have the compacts if they're available.

[@areuaware6842]

Do they have a US dealer?

[@Brent0331]

I'm not sure, someone said you can order it on Amazon though.

[@ty88]

Hey Brent, could you check out the Rothco Total Terrain pattern? I love the colors, I think they would be great for my area. Not a fan of the speckle pattern, but the colors make up for it. Here's a link to an image of the Total Terrain BDU pants: www.rothco.com/upload/product/product//95471-B.jpg Thanks!

[@ov3rkill940]

When Will the Contest Winner be picked?

[@Brent0331]

+OV3RKiLL9 As far as I know they already posted it. They gave me the top two contenders and I picked between the two.

[@KrisSays]

That's better than spray tan!

[@wakangaroo7722]

the Russian Military uses Balaclavas or Bandanas to Camo the Face. I dont remember any face paint in the Gear.

[@brucecamparmament3728]

They do, but it is certainly less common. iliketowastemytime.com/exclusive-inside-look-spetsnaz-training

[@craigpalmer9196]

[@shanek6582]

I worked with a guy that was in the army and the story he told me, (sounds plausible but...) was they were stationed in Germany and the first summer all the white guys had to wear face paint and the black guys didn't and made fun of the white guys. Then that winter al, the black guys had to paint their faces white! But the Caucasians didn't. Ever heard about this or was he pulling my leg?

[@TylerLL2112]

Shane K Haha! That's funny. I'm curious now to know if that's true. I can see plausibility in the story.

[@UrbanTiger74]

Gucci-flage. LMFAO!

[@sabre2182]

I'd hardly consider military use face cam creams etc. "Guicci".....EVERY Nation's military uses a version of it...some VERY actively, The Brits, Canadians, Germans and most European Militaries use them in the field consistently....taught from Basic onwards....and they have been doing it since the 50's and 60's........same as scrimming the helmets to break up silhouette and shape.....with either fabric / netting scrim OR with natural vegetation..South American and Asian nations are big on using cam creams as well.......Singapore forces for example.....in my decade of Service int he Canadian Forces, did alot of joint ex's and NATO ex's......it was a rare day in hell that we saw US troops doing it.....occasionally maybe a bit of face paint...but not regularly nor consistently..... this new stuff that helps reduce IR signature as well?............how could ANY of that be considered a bad thing or "Guicci".....sounds more like right proper SOLDIERING.... Well done Brent.....enjoying your vids....... "Drive on Troop" :)
