Masks are going to be so in fashion for this neo dystopia we're building.

    As far as I'm aware, facial recognition works mostly by measuring distances between identifiable features of a person's face, like eyes, nose, mouth, face outline, etc. Hiding major facial features behind a mask that covers your nose, mouth and jaw can definitely confound at least some facial recognition systems. Wearing a mask and dark sunglasses is better, though some systems can penetrate through dark lenses (there are special sunglasses built to prevent this).

    Aviator shades, can't beat the physics of reflection vs transmission. If the mask conforms to your jaw, it won't help much; the baggier the better. Use eyebrow pencil and eyeliner to change the brow profile and eye corner locations.
