These heads don't have to be mounted onto anything for use, which is great. 

To keep from staining:

1) Spray your mannequin with Aquanet heavy duty hairspray. Spray it down 3 to 4 times. Allow the spray to fully dry into or onto the mannequin product.

2) After you are finished with your makeup practice you should clean it right away.

3) To clean get makeup cotton wipes and pour 91% rubbing alcohol and you should start rubbing off the make up. Rub hard.

4) You may also use Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Use the eraser and rub off any deep smears that you can see faintly.

Practice Boards
The full face and the 3/4 views are the best for training:

The following sponges will save time because they are shaped to make butterflies, masks, etc. You can work FASTER due to their shape!:
