Rubie'sRubies Costume Co Catwoman Mask

Purchased this 8 yrs ago. Saw this in my have yet to review section. This product if one that has a bit of stretch and pulls over your head. I always had short hair when I used this for costumes. I can't speak for anyone wearing this with long hair, but it was comfy for me. After an extended period of time wearing it you will get indentations from the eye and mouth cut outs on your face. So heads up if you have plans to be somewhere after. Takes a bit for the marks to fade. Think like the marks you get on your skin from tight jeans or sleeping on something funny. Its not a permanent thing, but I can see it being un-comfy over prolonged time. However the mask itself is awesome and has held perfectly through out all these years(minimal Halloween use though). I would also say that it has good accuracy to the Tim Burton version of Catwoman in his adaptation of Batman. I will also note like all latex type masks it has the standard latex smell, but its really not that bad my opinion.

I read the previous reviews so I knew it would be small. I was hoping not AS small as it was. I really wanted to be the Michelle Pfeiffer/Batman Returns Catwoman for Halloween, so not having to make the mask myself was worth the risk. This thing worked, but I definitely had to put work into it.First of all: This thing came DIRTY. I had to turn it inside out and clean it before I even tried it on. Come on, "Rubie". I know it's cheap but put some effort into this.Luckily, I was only using this for a photoshoot and didn't have to go out in public. This mask was so tight on my head, I had to cut the ENTIRE back out so it would rest on my face without wrinkling my eyes. I also cut a portion off the bridge of the nose because it immediately left deep lines after only having it on for 30 seconds. Unless you have a very flat nose, you will too. I wish I didn't cut the chin strap off per a prior review, because then I needed something to keep the mask from popping off my head! So I had to cut holes and tie a string around my chin, then photoshop it out afterward. Ugh.If it didn't come dirty, I would have given this 4 stars, because I was able to make it work and my Catwoman looked badass. But if you're not DIY savvy, this will be a nightmare for you.

The mask arrived ahead of the estimated arrival date and it arrived in time for Halloween (gold star). This seller gets it -- BRAVO! If people are like me, they start ordering Halloween costumes in October (some sellers say all October orders will be shipped in November -- BAH HUMbug to them). The fit is good (gold star), even for me. I am a 5'10" tall woman and I have a large brain 7 3/4 (wink-wink) and more of a long, narrow shaped face than a heart shaped face and this mask fits me well (another gold star), as a full grown adult. The mask is a stretchy rubber, so it could possibly (size down) to fit a young teen (12 and up, I imagine). Good value (gold star), good quality (gold star), great shipping time. The back has a slit for a pony tail or lots of hair.Use one drop of your favorite gentle face cleaner to clean and thoroughly rinse the factory dust from the inside of the mask before wearing it for any amount of time. You are putting this product directly on your skin so take care to clean it and dry it first (by lightly patting it dry so you don't transfer lint from your towel) before you wear it.The only downside is the mask can get hot and the nature of rubber against hair can cause some pulling when you first put it on. I recommend pulling your hair back first and then slide the mask on from front to back, as opposed to top down. And then adjust the eye holes and then place the chin strap in the right place. Smile, you'll love this mask, great buy for the money.

This was a pretty good looking mask. A lot of the "stitches" on it weren't painted though so I took some white paint and gave it a few touch ups. Also, one of the ears was a bit crooked so I rolled up a small piece of washcloth and stuck that in there to hold it up straight. It is easy to trim if you need more eye/nose/cheek space so I did that as well. There is a slit in the back which was helpful for putting it on and taking it off but also helpful since I have very long hair and I could braid it and leave the braid hanging out the back. Overall it's a good base and is fairly comfortable!

This mask is OK. I was not really expecting it to be juts a rubber mask with the stitching painted on to it. But it will serve the purpose for Halloween. There is a giant slit int he back so ou can get it on but then it does not close up in any way so your hair just sticks out, I'll have to figure out something with that. If is closed some how I think the mask would stay better. I wish there was a body suit to go with this. I found one on another site but it is really like the really outfit in the movies.

This mask does not look like the product picture. It is not shiny, as depicted, and looks more like a cheap rubber mask than the sleek Catwoman trademark I was looking for. The white 'stitching' on the mask is sloppy, and the chin strap is lumpy and misshapen.It's also extremely annoying to find, considering there is no back view of this mask, that it has a huge, unattractive slit. I'll probably sew it with white thread to match the rest of the mask, since it has some slack near the top otherwise.The inside of this mask was dirty, besides being really hot and sweaty. It pulls hair when you put it on and take it off, and it pulls skin when you move your face. Since this is in direct contact with your face, I find it concerning that there is no information on this site, or even on the mask packaging itself, listing the materials included.How do you know what can safely be used to shine it?I'm just hoping it doesn't look as cheesy as I think or give me a rash. Definitely wash thoroughly before wearing.

I loved this mask...it worked great for my costume. Warning, it runs small and I have a small head. I stretched it over a 25 pound kettlebell and let it sit overnight and that did the trick...I also ended up snipping it a little on the nose because it kept pushing into my nose...after the adjustments it worked perfect!
