whiteface
Pale performer paint
Whiteface is white theatrical makeup covering the entire face, associated with traditional clowning and mime: a clown in whiteface.
The term parallels blackface, though whiteface lacks the same fraught racial history.
Whiteface also describes cattle breeds with white faces, particularly Herefords: a herd of whiteface steers.
