Step 3The Mask
Defenitely the most time costuming step. I made it in an odd way, but it worked out spectacularly. Put the plastic bag over your head, and quickly mark with a sharpie where your eyes and mouth are. Remove the bag, and cut out small enough holes so you can see and breathe, but not too small..for obvious reasons. Anyway, put the bag back on your head, and go crazy with the plaster strips. I did about three or four layers, and make the last layer kind of chunky. Make sure you go over the top of your head, but not so far back that you won't be able to get it off in one piece. Try and make it so you still have the eye and mouth holes open, but slightly concealed. Paint will help with this effect, plus once it's on your face it'll look better. Carefully remove the mask, and place it over an overturned bowl or something of the sort to help it keep it's shape while it's wet and sorta flimsy.
Once dry, water down some light brown paint and go over the entire thing once, and then use the dark brown, black, and red (slightly watered down, not nearly as much as the one your used all over) and do detailing. Making it darker by the eyes and mouth helps to conceal the fact that they're there.
Once this is dry, get the old pantyhose. Cut out two 2" x 2" squares, and superglue them over the eyes..this also helps to conceal them when the mask is on your face.
Lastly, go over the entire thing (inside and out) with the clear spray paint a few times. I believe I did three layers total.
