I wonder what 'molded' means.
I met these sentences in a book.

She looked like a raccoon in her wraparound Hollywood shades. She, who had been looking off down the creek, turned her black windows. The 'molded' mouth and nose and cheeks below them were expressionless.

I have absolutely no idea what 'molded' means.
If anyone knows what it means, please help.

Thank you in advance.
