Question

How can I make a mask that I can comfortably wear over glasses?

Community Answer

Try making the mask around the glasses - but be careful and only use adhesive you know you will be able to take off to get your glasses back to normal.

Question

How do I make tulle mask that sticks without using ribbon/elastic strings?

It all depends on how heavy your mask is, how long you're going to wear it, and what conditions you're going to be in. If it's very light (made out of just paper or lace and some feathers), you're only wearing it for 3-4 hours, and it's not raining, use eyelash glue. Use an oil to remove it at the end of the day. If it's medium weight, you're wearing it for 3-7 hours, and it's not too cold or raining, use spirit gum. If it's heavy and you're wearing it for a long time, use Pros-Aide. This adhesive can withstand moisture, cold, and heat. Both Pros-Aide and spirit gum are special effects makeup adhesives that are a tad more expensive and require a special remover.

Question

How will I make the mask take its shape on my nose?

Community Answer

If you are using the plaster method of making the mask, wait for the mask to dry a little but not completely. This will make it easier to shape. After you do this, press the mask down on your nose, and shape it accordingly with your fingers.

Question

I want to make a wolf mask, how do I form the long snout?

Cecilia Flores

Top Answerer

It really depends on how much cash and time you're willing to spend. You could use air-dry clay, a hollow cotton-and-latex build-up, Styrofoam shaved into a snout shape, or paper mache. Because there are different breeds of wolves, they all have different snout shapes and lengths.

Question

How do I cut out the eyes?

Community Answer

You could try folding the paper gently so that you can cut a little slit through the center of the eye, then unfold it and work around the rest of the area. You could also use a pencil or something sharp to poke a hole in the center of the eye and then cut around from there.
