How do I make a object not take mask effect at the same time it is behind it?

I'm think this is the stupiest question I made here, but here's the problem.

I have 3 objects

-Night mask (a black sprite I use to give a night effect)

-Character sprite animation

-Stars background

I want the Character object to be behind the Night mask, and the stars should be in the layer behind.

The problem is that I also want the stars to have It's original colours (white) But the night mask makes it grey.

I'll try to explain better sending a image on what I tried mainly.

That probably needs a little extra to make the effect work the way you want it. You can use the variant where the stars are drawn on top of the player, and mask out the stars that shouldn't be visible.
