It is to differentiate one wrestler from another. At first all lucha libre wrestlers used the same kind of outfits but in 1942, the well-known, silver-masked wrestler known as El Santo (Spanish for The Saint) stepped on to the ring and enamored the audiences due to the secrecy of his true identity and his outgoing and friendly attitude towards his fans.
After that, many wrestlers began to copy the winning formula, being the most prominent Blue Demon and Mil Mascaras(Spanish for 'a thousand masks'). Then the use of colorful masks and flamboyant costumes became an ongoing national phenomenon that has lasted to this day and even has been copied to some degree by American wrestlers.
