Masquerade Masks for First Timers
Wednesday, September 30th, 2009Finding Your First Masquerade Mask
Finding the right mask for a masquerade ball can be a dauntingly difficult task for the beginning masquerader. There are so many elements to a mask – the design, the fit, the coloring. Finding the right mask for you can be hard, but with a few simply tips, you will have found the perfect mask for you.
Be aware that the type of mask really does make a difference in how easy it is for you to wear it. Masquerades can go on for hours, and a full-face masquerade mask can get heavy if you don’t look for a mask made with the right base materials. Masks that are flexible and light are not only easier to wear, but more resistant to wear as well.
A half-face mask makes socializing easier, but a full-face adds to the mystique of the masquerade. If the mask is hand-held, you will have to put it down at some point – if you are looking to wear your mask for most of the night, look for one that ties at the back of your head or is worn by elastic.
If you already have an outfit that you want to match the mask to, look for masks in similar colors. Traditional masquerade masks have rich colors like jewel-tones and gold, but if you look hard you can find pastels as well. Another aspect of the outfit to keep in mind when looking at masks is the dcor of the outfit – many masquerade masks are full of feathers, ribbons and jewels. Finally, look for a mask that looks like you. Many masks are made to look like animals, such as butterflies and cats. Fairies are another popular look.
Find one that looks like your personality, one that makes you happy. The surest way to be content with the masquerade mask that you pick is to find one that you genuinely like. If you would hang it on your wall like a painting after the masquerade is over, you have found the perfect mask.
