Practice is really the key for this. You need to learn airbrush control, try it on the inside of a drinks bottle ( they're free and it doesn't matter if you mess them up ). Or try on some thick white paper / thin card. You need to practice, without watching how you're working it's difficult to offer advice.
If the shading is going every where I'd make sure you're not working above 40psi. Get the paint quite thin, the airbrush sort of does some of it for you. So don't paint straight onto the area you're trying to shade, start on the mask and flick out or around the mask depending on the shape you're trying to do. Because the airbrush gives a natural soft edge anyway it creates the shadow effect for you.
Also if you spray toward the mask the shape will be more defined, if you spray away from the mask the shape will be looser.
Practice more, see how you get on, come back ask questions.
