Answer:

Hey there, As a paper mache artist, I'm biased, but I think that would be the best medium, or a variation on the medium Here's one I call cloth mache First, use some thin wire mesh (from Home Depot) to push onto your face to make an impression that fits to your faceIf you can't get that, just use aluminum foil Use three or four layers, then push it onto your faceThen get an old bed sheet and tear it into strips first, then use scissors to cut into cloth rectanglesDip these pieces into Elmer's glue until they are soakedSqueeze them out and lay them on top of the mold you made of your face Don't worry about edgesLet dry overnight, then use scissors to trim around the faceCut holes for eyes and nostrilsThen paint (any water based paint will work)Now, having said all that, the high end way of doing this is to get some casting material (like they use if you break your arm)Put vasoline on your face or foil like I said beforeHave someone put the material on your face and dry with a hair dryerMake sure you have holes to breathe though! Then paintLike I said, this is much more high end and requires two people Still, thought I'd mention itGood luck!
