Do you line it with anything so the rubber latex doesn't get all slimy after wearing it for a while?

So are you able to breathe or see out of the mask?

yes there are small holes with mesh in the front areas. It is concealed within the darker areas.

How pliable is it? I know it should cover most of the head, so I want to be sure it's easy enough to put on and take off. If it's pretty solid, it'll make that really hard...

it's made out of a rubber latex. It's stretchy.

Cool, cause the best method I found for styling was plaster strips, but of course those harden. I had hoped the latex would be easy to get on and off. Thanks for the reply ^^

I think I bought a little thing of latex for 13.00 as Hobby Town. But you can get Latex by the gallon. The price varies depending on the place. I know I can drive over to the local costume shop and get it for $45.00. I alright had paints at the time. The fabric was like 15.00. So I spend (note at the time) 28.00 for make the costume.
