All masks are done in paper mache with glossy paint. Paper mache consists of either cloth or newspaper dipped into a concoction made of flour, water, a bit of salt to keep it from going bad, and a pinch of cinnamon to keep it from stinking. Basically, it's a cinnamon apple fruit bar in liquid form. The paper is applied to a cheap plastic mask found in any craft store, sometimes with cardboard attached for additional features.

I was inspired to make masks after a trip to Venice, so the early ones are more classic Venetian while the newer ones are more inspired by Dave McKean's work on MirrorMask.
