Hey Evil Ted (the guy on YouTube who makes awesome cosplay stuff, check him out) recommended this mask for projects like what you're describing! He mentioned using it for a Cobra Commander costume or a Destiny costume, but I'm sure it has a variety of applications. And it is said to be see-through on the inside. I haven't had a project to use it in yet but I am itching for an excuse to buy it and mess around with it myself lol.
Ok. If there's a such thing as see-through paint, you can buy the chrome mask here; https://www.amazon.com/Disguise-No-Face-Chrome-Mask/dp/B007S016WQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=chrome+mask&qid=1570238225&sr=8-1
and then paint it.
See if you can give the mask a more matte/opaque appearance so your face isn't clearly visible (without blinding yourself of course); I recall Tali's face was at best sort of foggy behind the mask, in the photo I can see your face a bit too well which can distract from the intended character.
Also three fingered gloves of course would help give the alien appearance~
Otherwise, your costume looks pretty awesome so far, nice work!
Edit: found a mask like this, so there are at least options; I wonder if something like this could be integrated into your current helm
I think I would start with a standard face mask you can find in costume, hobby shops or online. Then build onto it with EVA foam strips/wedges and fill the gaps with a filler like paper clay.
Perhaps, you can use this mask with a white balaclava.
So my mask was probably the biggest nightmare of the costume. Because I don't have access to a vacuum former I was having a hard time getting the shape right. I ended up buying a plastic mask off Amazon and airbrushing it with purple glass paint. I then inserted the mask into the helmet I had built out of EVA foam and cut it down to the right size and shape. I also tried colored tinting for automobile windows and had pretty good luck but they just don't make them in the right color of purple for Tali so I went the air brush route instead. Here is the link to the plastic mask (Disguise Costumes No Face Chrome Mask, Adult https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007S016WQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_YeZPzbWKG3469) let me know if you have any other questions! Although I respond on Facebook much faster than Reddit (https://www.facebook.com/duoqcosplay/)

And fill the eye holes with something like this so that you can see.

Then just use some foam and soldering wire for the rest. And paint of course
If you don't care about being able to see, you should be able to find just a blank slate mask out there somewhere
Maybe like this one but just paint it white https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007S016WQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_aAb7CbVHD6SS1
You can by premade bits like that. here's the one I have saved but it's chrome. If you can find a clear one, punished props has a video showing how you boil it with fabric dye to add a tint.
