Hiding in Plain Sight
Your face is covered with panty raider camouflage (my fair lady). Since you're not in a sorority orc's room, the camouflage isn't particularly convincing. Since you look so bizarre and incongruous, though, your enemies' brains will refuse to acknowledge your existence until you make yourself known. Either that or they'll try to avoid eye contact from empathic embarrassment.

References
- The effect picture is a reference to the Monty Python sketch How Not To Be Seen, where people hide in bushes.
- Hide in Plain Sight is a bonus feat Shadowdancers get in Dungeons & Dragons. As the name suggests it allows the character to take hide checks even when standing in full sight of an enemy.
- The note about being bizarre and incongruous is a reference to the Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, (Life, the Universe and Everything) where a Somebody Else's Problem field is used to much the same effect to hide a spaceship.
- This may also be a reference to the Discworld series, where Death is able to travel unseen because people know that seven foot tall skeletons don't just walk around, and so their brains refuse to acknowledge the evidence to the contrary.
- The (my fair lady) part of the description is a reference to the famous children's rhyme "London Bride Is Falling Down" where each verse is ended in the words "my fair lady".
