Tips for Choosing Your Masquerade Ball Mask

By Renee Winslow

With the rising popularity of masquerade balls in recent years, as well as the increasing use of masquerade ball masks by celebrities, it is no wonder that this theme is experiencing a resurgence in popularity. There are many kinds of masks to choose from, and in this article I will give a quick outline of the large variety of masks available to you.

There are several types of masquerade parties that you can attend, such as weddings or masquerade sweet 16s. Different types of masquerade ball masks are appropriate for different kinds of events. The mask that you choose is by far the biggest influence on how the party will turn out for you.

The type of mask that you choose for your masquerade ball, whether it be a venetian mask or a mask on a stick, will give your outfit and your aura a different feel depending on which one you choose. A great mask that looks amazing will make you look amazing as well!

The most notable masks are handcrafted Venetian masks. Most masks used at the Venetian Carnival were full masks intended for maximum coverage. This type of mask allows for a headdress that can be incorporated with it. However, those who choose to wear this type would need to sneak in food, drinks or sneak kisses in the shadows so as not to give their identities away too early in the party.

Currently, the most commonly seen sorts of masks for masquerade balls are half mask, full mask, eye mask and masquerade mask on sticks. The half mask is a kind of mask that goes over your eyes. It covers your forehead and nose secured to the face with ribbons. Most often, the lower part of the face and mouth is open.

A mask that covers the entire face is usually called a full face mask, and it is usually a masquerade mask worn by men. These styles can be a little uncomfortable for a person who does not like to have their entire face covered, so think carefully before you choose one. These masks come in a great many styles, and if you look hard enough you should be able to find one that matches your exact needs.

Eye masks are usually worn by the female attendees of the masquerade party, and therefore these masks for masquerade balls are generally more feminine in nature, although they can be worn by men if they are made to be more masculine. Deciding whether or not to use a stick is an important decision, so choose wisely!

Masks for masquerade balls can also be made by scratch, although it can be difficult to find all of the materials and designs that you need in order to create a great mask, so I generally recommend that you shop online for one from a reputable company with much experience in the industry. With all the info I just presented here, you should be able to choose a mask that will make you the belle of the ball!
