To use this image open it in PSP then go to Masks > New > From image...  Check 'source luminance' and uncheck 'invert mask data' then click OK.  Then save the mask to disk.

To apply the mask to the companion vector shape follow these steps:

1. draw the vector shape
2. convert the layer to raster
3. select around the image
4. invert the selection
5. enlarge by 2 pixels 
6. crop to the selection
7. add a new layer
8. flood the new layer with black
9. set the black layer to 'soft light'
10. go to Masks > From disk... and load  the shading mask

Adjust the color of the mask and the layer blend mode to your liking.  The shading mask and face shape layers can be merged and then the file can be resized, etc.
