Also, your mask could use some work. You can buy some very nice eye masks for around $35, but if you want to go cheap, and use foam there are ways to make it look better.
First, make it a bit smaller, and use a rotary cutting wheel to smooth out some of those rough cut edges. heat the foam with a heat gun, and bend it into shape to conform to your face better. Do a few layers of Gesso, or even Modge Podge to seal your foam, and then paint it. After that, another layer or two of modge podge, or even just watered down elmers. This will seal your paint and give it a nice shine.
Don't tie it around your head with string. it pulls too tightly and often leaves odd marks. Use Spirit Gum or something similar.
That is essentially how I made my Robin mask in pic, and it has held up for almost a year now with multiple wears and is still in great shape.
