So you have a character who looks almost entirely human, but has an inhuman skin tone. It might be a clown who's not in a costume, rotting zombies, Human Aliens, or something similar. And for one reason or another, this character needs to blend in with a crowd of actual humans. So, what do they do? They disguise themselves with the color of a natural human skin tone. The objective is generally going to be living beneath suspicion, whether because they just want to live their life normally without issue or maybe they're here to infiltrate human society and need to look the part. Losing access to their makeup can become a recurring conflict on its own; how will they blend in now?! How the disguise works can vary. It could be as simple as slathering makeup on your body to evoke human skin. Some characters might be able to create an illusion of human skin via magic or tech. So what if they have other inhuman traits to account for like odd-looking hair and eyes? Those can be accounted for as well such as dye and contacts. But the more obviously inhuman a character looks, makeup eventually just won't cut it. The trope only works if your character seems mostly human. What doesn't count? Makeup for common blemishes like scars and freckles; it has to be to cover something inhuman. A human trying to resemble a human with a different skin tone; that defeats the purpose of the trope. See also Not a Mask and Uncanny Valley Makeup. Compare and contrast Inhuman Eye Concealers. Subtrope of Hide Your Otherness. Disclaimer: This is not referring to real-life skin tone changing like blackface or skin bleaching. |

Captain Disillusion has all of his body covered in silver paint, except for the upper half of his face. In one episode, however, he grabs at the dividing line on his face and tugs, revealing that he is entirely silver and the part of him that looks like it belongs to a Caucasian man is the actual disguise. | |

The Simpsons: "Bart the Fink" has Krusty the Clown give up on clowning. Bart and Lisa meet him as he's preparing to board a ship and see that he's not wearing his clown facepaint. They eventually convince Krusty to come back, and when he does, he wipes his face off, revealing that his clown face is the real one. This idea was introduced in Season 4's "Homer's Triple Bypass", where Krusty reveals to Homer that his pale face is not makeup but rather a side effect of his struggles with heart disease. | |

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: The Kree are a race of Human Aliens distinguished only by their blue skin. Vin-Tak, a Kree introduced in Season 2, uses special tech to make himself look like an ordinary human. In Season 5, the human-looking Enoch paints himself blue to pass himself off as a Kree on one occasion. |

Strigoi from The Strain (TV series) feature paler skin than the humans they used to be. Some of them apply makeup when they want to pass for human: Thomas Eichhorst is the first we see who does this. He's also been a strigoi for so long, he also needs prosthetics to replace his missing body parts. Eichhorst teaches Kelly Goodweather how to make herself look human after The Master returns her sentience. It's good enough to fool a few people. Inverted with Gabriel Bolivar who, as a Marilyn Manson Expy, wears pale skin makeup when he performs on stage. After he's turned, he actually looks like he's still in makeup and doesn't bother trying to make himself look human. The fourth season reveals that Eichhorst wasn't the first to do this. In Victorian times, Mr. Quinlan romanced a human woman who made him up to look human. |

Marvel Universe: From Civil War (2006) onwards, it is revealed that Atlantean sleeper agents have been planted amongst the world's regular populace, and because (barring rare mutations) the regular skin color of this populace is dark blue, they use a serum that changes it to normal colors, on top of allowing them to live outside of the ocean. In X-Men comics from the late 1980s to 2010s, Warren Worthington III/Angel/Archangel has blue skin due to being mutated by Apocalypse. He uses an image inducer to look like the Caucasian man he is. |

Zombie Land Saga: The main cast are a group of zombie idol singers; they're all made of rotting green flesh with loads of scars and stitches. Thankfully their producer Kotaro is a makeup expert and can make them all look fine, unassuming humans. Not having access to their makeup makes for a recurring plot conflict. | |

iZombie: Many of the zombies, like Blain, use spray tan and hair dying to cover up their inhumanly pale bodies, being able to pass as convincing humans. This becomes harder to do the more zombiehood takes over, resulting in their bodies rotting like a fully-dead corpse. | |

Farscape: In the season one finale, Crichton has been captured and is being held in a Peacekeeper base (who are a near-human species that Crichton can easily pass as). To help sneak in to save him, Chiana uses a lot of makeup to cover her Nebari appearance - whose skin tones are gray to light blue. It's not an entirely convincing disguise because she overtly looks like she's wearing a lot of makeup, but it's enough to fool guards at a distance who aren't paying attention. | |

In Vampire: The Masquerade the vampires (with the exception of the Nosferatu) look completely human except for their skin being as pale as the corpses they technically are. A basic vampiric ability common to all vampire clans is to expend blood to make them appear like living humans (also warming their otherwise room-temperature bodies as a bonus). | |

While his gadgets COULD give him the perfect disguise to appear like a human, Zim is so inept he rejects that option in favour of a "disguise" that retains his green skin.

Young Justice (2010): Zig-Zagged. In Season 1, Martian M'Gann M'orzz has shapeshifting abilities, but only had to change her green skin to a Caucasian coloring to blend in as a human citizen, going by Megan Morse. However, subverted when it's later revealed the appearance M'Gann takes around the team is not her original form: she is really an inhuman-looking white Martian, whose preferred Shapeshifter Default Form is modeled after a human character from an Earth TV show she loved as a child. Thus, the ease of the skin change was justified — she purposely modeled herself after a human, just green. Later seasons have her do this from Martian white to Caucasian skin tone. | |

Batman (1989): After Jack Napier/Joker's chemical bath turns his skin chalk white and gives him a clownlike face, he disguises himself by wearing makeup that resembles his original skin tone. However, it doesn't have the depth or shading of real skin, giving him a creepy mannequin look, and it doesn't conceal the facial scars that give him a permanent smile. | |

The penultimate episode of Stargate Atlantis features a lone Wraith (a humanoid, but clearly not human, alien species) who gets stranded on Earth. We see a relatively detailed scene of his disguise process, including patches to cover his facial slits, contacts to hide his inhuman eye color and vertical slit pupils, false teeth (since his natural ones are far more pointed than a human's) and of course makeup to change that sickly pale gray-green Wraith skin into a more human tone. By the end he doesn't quite look normal, but can pass as some kind of goth metalhead well enough to cheat at poker games. It probably helps that he's in Las Vegas, and the baseline for "weird" is a bit higher. | |

The Haunted School: Thalia is frequently depicted as wearing copious amounts of makeup, lipstick, and concealers on her, to the point that it's impractical and the other students make fun of her for it. As it turns out, she was actually one of the Class of 1947, sent to the Grayworld and escaping from it after being stuck for 50 years — her makeup is used to hide the fact that she's Deliberately Monochrome due to the Grayworld draining all the real-world colors from her body. | |

Death Becomes Her has the walking dead heroines having to paint themselves. Since they lack the skill of their mutual ex who's a reconstructive mortician, this results in them both quickly winding up looking old and ugly with hideously wrinkled skin — which was what they were trying to avoid by becoming immortal. | |
