Resisting face recognition is fun, but not very practical. Face recognition systems in the wild with "unstructured lighting" are notoriously unreliable. At best they produce a ranking of similarity, like a search engine, or a probability distribution over possible matches. The accuracy claims made by companies selling face recognition software to state organizations are usually bogus to a large extent. Also the information leaked by mobile phones - especially geolocation - is a lot more reliable and revealing than your face. If you do wear facerec disruption makeup this also makes you highly detectable in images. The only exception to that would be if lots of people were all wearing the same makeup with the same pattern. A sort of bloc effect.

@bob It's amazing how quickly and easily we've given up our freedoms and privacy on things like this.

@OutOnTheMoors @bob This is the field I work in. I can tell you that facial recognition is far more along than the OP makes it sound. The software I've worked with has a less than 1% chance of misidentifying a person once they are in the system and under normal circumstances.
With that said using makeup wont help you much, it tracks by clothing and other features too and cares very little about tracking you for more than a day at a time.
