I got a couple of cheap masks from a shop for the base then papier mache'd over them.They both started out nearly-flat. I built them up with card and stuffed the structure with newspaper to strengthen it. The brow and cheeks were rolled up newspaper. I used diluted PVA glue as the liquid for the papier mache - I never use the traditional flour/water mix because it takes too long to dry and doesn't have any flexible strength when it's dry (it can also start to smell after a while).

Fair enoughI find traditional papier maché is probably more reliable when worn however- PVA gets sticky very quickly from sweat when it's against skin.
A mix of latex and fine fiberglass is probably best but a bit expensive.
Nice work though, they look quite authentic.
