masked up
Wearing facial covering
Masked up describes wearing a face mask, particularly one covering the nose and mouth.
The phrase gained widespread use during the COVID-19 pandemic when mask-wearing became a public health measure and social expectation.
Everyone was masked up at the grocery store.
It can also describe concealing one's identity, as with a ski mask or bandana: The robbers came in masked up.
