Are you confused about how to shop for the event that requires you to cover your face? Here is a quick guide to help you choose the right kind of mask for a masquerade party.
1. The basic type:
When we talk of masks meant to wear at a masquerade ball, they are basically either hand-held or with ribbons that can help hold them to your face for hours. If it is an event where you don’t have to be masked all throughout, the hand-held types are a good idea. They are also a good option for those who wear glasses.
2. The color:
Always choose your dress before you choose your mask because both should complement each other. If you can’t find a perfect match, you can play safe with shades of silver, gold or black.
3. The size:
Usually, the size of the masks ranges from full face, half-face to just covering the eyes. While full-face masks can help you easily disguise your identity, the other options should be chosen according to the shape of your face. So, it is important to give a few trials before you pick up one that you like most.
4. The design:
If you are going to attend a theme-based event, then elaborate masks matching that theme or that era would be your best bet. But they won’t at all work out for more contemporary events. In that case, you can choose designs that match your outfit or the ones that are decorated in a balanced way. Add-ons like feathers and sequins can make a mask look amazing but the point is, to make the very dress seem perfect.
