The "without standing out too much" part is the problem. You could use any of the face paint / jewel techniques that work on face detection algorithms in general [1], but they're all pretty obvious unless your personal style is already quite non-mainstream.

There's a whole class of makeup techniques designed to enhance attractiveness by creating the appearance of a different bone structure. Maybe that could be useful here? We need makeup experts who can develop "counter-contouring" techniques to skew your face's scanned appearance away from your identity.

I bet this won't be weird in the future. Kids are naturally rebellious and I could see a situation where it becomes fashionable to hide your face using these techniques.

Not just kids. I'm a past-middle-aged man, and it's not terribly hard to see me doing that sort of thing, if this stuff becomes difficult enough to avoid.
