Sculpting a realistic nose and mouth is really hard because you have to maintain the curved shape. I had a hard time doing that with the lips and it turned out poorly. You have to keep the depth in mind with every step, including the preliminary ones (rolling out a snake). If I decided to sculpt a face, I definitely need more practice.
My all time favorite sculpture artist is Angela Johnson. she specializes in bronze cast pieces and her website is AJdsculptures.com. She creates realistic scenes with Christ in them. I got to see her work in person and I was really impressed with the amount of detail and how small the people are. They are about 4 inches tall and their eyes are soo realistic and full of expression.
