I think those are all more illustrative of other things than this. I honestly think this is going to be hard to pic unless there's a comic or webcomic that has someone talking about it.
^^ I think the first suggestion is still the best one, it just needs a quality upgrade. Not getting the trope from those; 2.2 in particular reminds me more of Face Stealer, and 2.3 of Split Personality.
I do think the mask metaphor is about the only way to illustrate this without a lampshade. American◊ Psycho◊?

You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"That second Bateman pic is interesting...not sure if it's really good for this trope but it might work for something else.
As someone who hasn't seen American Psycho, 5 seems like a JAFAAC. A creepy JAFAAC, but a JAFAAC nonetheless. I like the one with the balaclava wearing guy, or the one with the sad guy with a happy face.
We Wear the Mask that grins and lies, it hides our cheeks, is shades our eyes.I don't empathise with any of the suggestions.

This suggestion◊ didn't get enough consensus in the Image Suggestion thread. Other ideas?
