So I've removed Papa smurfs face, and I've pasted the face over the photo so I can grab the exact part that I cut out of the smurf's face to superimpose. But everytime I paste I just get the smurf face back and not the selection shape of the face, but from the photograph.

(I found it hard to search what I'm trying to do, because I am not even an amateur at this)

Essentially I want to use the shape of my selection to select on the photo.

What I've done sofar is change my paste layer's opacity to 0. But as soon as I anchor it into the image, the selection shape disappears.

Here is what I did:

I copy the face using the Oval (faces are kinda oval), and paste it into the Smurf picture I wanted to superimpose my people onto. The faces are usually vastly bigger than I want (photo's vs internet picture), so I resized the face, as well as rotate or even transform the face until the eyes of the person and the eyes of the smurfs roughly matched, and in terms of size that their chins roughly overlapped.

Smurfs' faces are significantly rounder, so sometimes I would let the human chin drop over where the smurf chin was.

Once the scale and position of the human face layer is where I'm happy, I set the layer's opacity lower (between 50 and 70). The enabled me to see where I want to chop off the human face to keep the smurf cap/glasses etc. Important to keep fingers etc that was in front of the smurf face also in front of the human face.

Remember to invert your selection, and then delete the non-face part of the human layer.

The result obviously is still very amateur, but came out OK. I'll paste a imagebin/imgur/etc if the human faces says its OK.
