Finding The Best Masquerade Party Masks

By Serena Mason

Masquerade parties have been well known to be fun and great events where people get a chance to take a break from the real world. They can become someone they have always dreamed of being, if only for a few hours, because they can change their appearances through the use of the masquerade masks.

There are many kinds of events and occasions that are well suited for throwing a masquerade ball. Before, masquerade ball masks were used only for masquerade parties. However, as times went by, people loved to adapt this party theme to fit with several other occasions.

Currently, the most commonly seen sorts of masks for masquerade balls are half mask, full mask, head mask and mask on stick. 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 head mask is used to cover the entire head. It is usually worn so as to show off more elaborate designs on the back of the mask.

The most attractive masquerade masks are, undoubtedly, feather masks. In a masquerade ball, the mask is crucial. Because the costume can be very elaborate or ornate, the mask should be able to stand up against the costume or outfit. The mask is the essential accessory that a masquerade ball cannot do without or else it will not be a masquerade ball.

Feather masks or feathered masks are so called because of the feathers and plumes that are used either as accent or main material of a mask, duh. The mask itself can either be a full-face mask or a half mask, with or without a stick. It can be made of plastic, paper mache, or ceramic. Ornamentation can include glitters, sequins, lace, braid trims, Swarovski crystals, rhinestones, leather, or even gold leaf. But it is the feathers that make it stand out.

Masquerade balls are not just held during Halloween, but many people prefer them for weddings, New Year's Eve parties, a promenade, quinceanera's etc. Masquerade ball themed proms are truly very popular nowadays. Young people really enjoy this because they want to dress up and look amazingly beautiful on one of the special moments of their lives.

Remember that a great masquerade mask will help you stand out of the crowd especially if you wear it with your elegant outfit. A gorgeous masquerade mask is really a great accessory for your masquerade dress or tuxedo. If you match your masks with your dress, you will surely be noticed and the attendees will remember you for years to come.

As mentioned earlier masquerade masks on sticks are more elegant looking with the attendee's outfit. Women look more attractive and gorgeous when they hold their masks in front of them. It adds up to the mystery and overall impact. Hence it makes you noticeably beautiful. You just have to make sure that your stick mask matches your outfit and the mask has bright colors. - 29871
