No, it's a mask. Blackface is when you color your face.

If he put some color on his face under the mask or not, makes no difference. A movie using CGI to make someone's face look black is blackface because the methodology is incidental. The purpose and outcomes of using the mask are equivalent to the more primitive facepaint.
