Fire likely doused with water
From BearWiki
Claim: Bear's campfire shows evidence of a quickly staged fire extinguished with water.
Bear's little fire pit didn’t have much in it, which means he didn’t have a fire for very long and that there was no white ash, which means the fire was doused with water, which would also explain why there was so much charcoal to apply to his face like mascara. Likewise, his mascara went from a smeared mass unevenly covering 30% of his face to neat little symmetrical lines under his eyes that somehow seem to change slightly from one scene to the next.
[edit] Analysis
Support: Why bring along the Hair and Make Up people and all their gear unless you're going to let them work their magic?
Support: It's not easy to get the right mixture of aloe and charcoal.
