Try this.
I competed with one last year & scored a 93 in pro division.

Lightly mist flesh way up the inter nose.
Use gray lightly on the eye lids & nose & VERY Slightly in nose opening,& lip.

Then use DRK Brown on Eyelids, Nose & very slightly in the nose opening, & lips.

Wait till the paint drys & remove all paint from hairs around where you painted & the eye glass.
Then use a satin clear coat on the nose pad & lip.
Then use Liquid Crystol on the eye lid to fill the junction of glass & skin.
& spray a little Liquid Crystol up in the nose opening.
Make sure to keep clear coat off of hair.

A lot of people think that you just paint African animals black, But if the studied them up close & personal they would see the different colors in each animal Including the horns.

Pictures can only show so much but to get the 3 D effect you must see with your own eyes.

Good luck
