masked face
Concealed facial identity
A masked face is a face covered by a mask—whether for medical protection, disguise, or ritual.
The phrase gained currency during the COVID-19 pandemic, when masked faces became ubiquitous in public spaces: A sea of masked faces filled the subway car.
It can also describe an expression that conceals emotion, revealing nothing of the person's inner state.
