The trick is this:
With a ball of clay in your hand and a clay shaper tool in the other, capture a part of the face and when part of it is right on target, stop.
Cure what you have that's right.
Make a mold of that right bit you captured.
Cure the partial face mold.
Make an impression of raw clay and start working on another part of the face.
That way if you wreck the part you got right, you can make another impression of it and begin to work on another part of the face again.
There is nothing more frustrating than getting part of the face right and then when working on another part of the face you wreck the good stuff you had.
Curing and making a mold of the good bits, and do that in stages, makes sculpting a known face easier.
Use left over polymer clay for your "Iteration" molds, because you're not going to keep them around, they are part of the process to be discarded as you progress.
