Dude, will you shut up? That is such a stupid explanation for such an unoriginal and badly acted horror movie.
You'd have to be incredibly stupid to think that this is something they just let go, as in "Hey, let's have a clearly visible mask and... oops, is it visible? Our bad." No. Obviously, that's not what they did.
It's inarguable that the mask was intended to be clearly visible as mask, so the only question to ask is why?
An obvious explanation is that these aliens were intended to be arguably more realistic or plausible. Now, we can discuss what is or isn't plausible for an alien, but all that matters is what the filmmakers decided was plausible because that appears to be their concept for the character.
It could be argued that naked astronauts going to unknown territories that all happen to have the same emotionless face is unlikely. Alien astronauts with space equipment and face masks makes more sense in so far as that's more like what we'd have if we progress to that level in the future. It's hard to argue with the logic of an astronaut wearing protection. Even if you had mind control powers would you walk around naked? When we're dissecting cows we don't do it nude. And why do all of the greys have an identical, emotionless face? It makes more sense that it's a face mask.
