so masks block the deathnote?

Pretty much. But you better be sure to cover up as much as possible including your eyes, you know, just in case they have the Shinigami Eyes deal.

The Shinigami Eyes can only make a person's name and lifespan visible under certain circumstances. A side view of a person's face is enough to be able to see their name and lifespan. A person's eyes must be visible in order for it to work, but if they are wearing sunglasses while their entire face is visible, it will work. It will also work If half a person's face is seen vertically. Circumstances where the Shinigami Eyes will not work to see a person's name and lifespan include seeing the back of a person's head, seeing the lower half of their face (i.e. eyes are not visible), and seeing their body but not their face. A photograph of a person is also acceptable, and follows the same rules as listed above. The only exception to this is when the person in the picture is deceased, in which case their name and lifespan will not be visible. While photographs work to see a person's name and lifespan, drawings do not work, no matter how lifelike or accurate they are. If an individual with Shinigami Eyes looks into a mirror, they will see their name, but not their lifespan.

Of course, a normal person won't be able to notice if someone does have the Shinigami Eyes anyway.

pseudonyms blocks it

So bane would be relatively untouchable because he wears a mask, provided there's no other footage?

I think he's been locked up in the past though, unless that's been retconned out, so if Light can find some mugshots or something, Bane's screwed.
