Actresses Without Teeth
From the Tumblr Actresses Without Teeth, wherein pictures of leading actresses of the day are presented with some or all of their teeth digitally removed, often clumsily but never less than terrifyingly.

Make-Up Protectors Of 1939
As featured in Nationaal Archief’s photostream, these plastic face-cones debuted in Montreal Canada were apparently designed to keep one’s maquillage intact during snowstorms.
They never took off.
God knows why. They’re utterly fabulous.
Hard Core Horror
A print-’n'-cut-out-’n'-wear paper mask featuring the mug of veteran porno actor Ron ‘The Hedgehog’ Jeremy.
Probably too scary for Halloween, in fairness.

Hummingbird Helmet
The :–2<: (pronounced ‘eye to eye’) Hummingbird Feeder ($80), invented in 2008 by Californian Doyle Doss, is a full-face polycarbonate mask adapted to include a feeder tube for tiny Trochilidae.
Very handy in rural Humboldt county. Less useful in, say, Ringsend.
Wrinkly Old Mickey
Do not think that you can unsee it. For you can not.
Elderly Mickey made using latex, acrylic paint (with a few Photoshopped ‘tweaks’) by artist Darick Maasen, who sez:
Mickey was ‘born’ 83 years ago (November 18, 1928), and I wanted to explore how he may have aged. BIG thanks to Kosart Effects Studios where I recently took a mask-making class unlocking a whole new set of possibilities for my art.
Photoset of the construction process here.
