Consider making a half-mask? People will understand the gist of the costume if the rest is well done. This is kind of a "Ryuk" style question, where it's up to you to decide on what to do based on your skill level. If you're familiar with mask making I'd suggest making one, and using the area around the nose for space to see through.

If you're not good with making smoothly surfaced masks, consider getting some higher quality costume veneers. If you're not black, I'd be really hesitant about painting your whole face in certain regions of the US.

At the end of the day it's costume, and the whole point is to "make it work." I'd get a black wig, veneers, and then do something like a black fade from the forehead down to the bridge of the nose, so it looks like the mask is creating a dramatic shadow. It'll make the whites of your eyes pop out, and you won't have to worry about smudging the makeup when you eat/scratch at your face.
