I believe it's been confirmed that the mask is just for the audience, similar to how they show Ladybug's thought process by highlighting items in polka dots.

I think the reason they didn't show it is because, if you notice, they strayed from the formula a lot in this episode. No transformation sequences, no "bye bye little butterfly" (though the bye bye bird, was good), no Hawkmoth monologuing in his lair at the end, etc.

I liked the decision. That whole scene felt so different, it didn't need it and would've taken something away from it in my opinion.
