Jack painted his face so that when he did something wrong he wouldn't be accountable for his actions as he uses the paint as a mask to hide him from the truth. He also uses it like it was a second personality.

The face paint jack and his tribe uses symbolises the loss of rules and civilty and his true personality showing which is the evil whinin himself emerging.

The first mention of applying paint happens in chapter 4: Painted Faces and Long Hair. Acting on his belief that the pigs saw him as something pink among the green foliage Jack experimented with coloured clays. He used black charcoal lines and patches of red clay and white clay to cover and camouflage his face. (Page 63).

It shows that Jack and his boys are separate from Ralph and everyone else. They are showing that they are different. Also, it hints at how the boys are becoming savages. They painted their faces with blood of the pigs they had killed.

Jack paints his face with coloured clays and black charcoal markings. The initial intention was to camouflage himself from the pigs he was hunting.

Jack used wet red and white clay and made black marks with a stick of charcoal.

Jack painted his face with dazzle paint because he believed he was a big time hunter now.
