painting latex mask

Ok so i have the mold of my mask done with clay, waiting for it to dry. once it dries i will begin applying the layes of liquid latex, once the latex is dried should i paint it before i remove it from the clay? and whats the best way to give it this type of look? image for what I'm going for is below.

I want the dirty, worn, brownish look. All i have right now is Ben Nye dark creme highlight. it is in a little circle holder. Not sure if i can use this to paint on it? I need the cheapest most effective way, i only have tomorrow to paint this. here the Ben Nye stuff i have except its a dark shade.

That picture was an appliance built and painted by someone with
a lot of skill and talent. Not something done the way you are
doing it with the limited supplies you have. But you can get close.
Use what you have and do your best. I know that's not why you
posted - you are hoping for a little bit of magic. But to get that look
you would not use liquid latex or the Ben Nye makeup you have. I
did make-up effects for 14 years - I could get what you want with
what you have in the time you have.
 
bump, sorry i had to bump this but i have about 3 hours to get the supplies i need to start painting this. Can anyone recommend what i can use to paint this the way i described? just a brown gritty look like in the picture in the first post. All i have near me is a lowes, home depot, and Michael's.
