Cosmeticize . . .

. . . to make (something unpleasant or ugly) superficially attractive

[source]

This word describes what we tend to do a lot. People tend to want to make something look good rather than fixing the underlying problem which makes it "unpleasant or ugly". This applies to all sorts of activities from programming to politics. I say, let's get under the skin and fix the real problems in all sorts of things.
