Be Yourself Perhaps, I know it would work for me.
you can use duct tape. (not directly on your face, of course.) there’s a homeless guuy in town that does that and it is very scary.
Candle wax and food coloring.
Paper mache would be something to consider, old newspaper/gauze/tissue paper cut into strips and dipped in flour and water solution, letting it dry as you apply the layers and giving it an extra coat of the glue in between, you can add whatever you like to it, by just sticking it to the mask with the glue mixture, I think the recipe is half flour and half water, it should look pasty, not runny. And paint it afterwards with either watercolor or acrylic paints, there maybe a recipe for homemade paint online as well.
Good luck!
get a plaster bandage from a chemist and cut it into small pieces about 2 by 4 ins. lie someone down and put vaseline on thier face. Then apply the pieces after damping them on a sponge to the face till you’ve built up a face (avoid nose eyes and mouth obviously), when dry pull off face. Then get scrumpled up newspaper and stick it on the nose to make abigger nose and wrap it in ongoing pieces of plaster bandage, etc. paint.
buy water base glue- thick one then add coloring of water base – food coloring or poster.apply it in your face wait til it dries then enhance it with make up
Skin putty always available around Halloween, and I am sure carried by any costume shop. I am so totally not artistic, but I used it on my oldest daughter to make a witches’ face many years ago. I made the forehead wrinkles with an eyebrow pencil and blended with a cosmetic sponge. I had her close her eyes and sprayed a light blast of water with green food coloring mixed in and she was a smash at her party. You asked for a mask, but this wa all I have to offer.
papier mache and balloons, craft paint (the 50cent kind) from a craft store, yarn for hair and mustache and beard (if you put those items on it at all)
