Masquerade Mask FAQ

What is a masquerade mask?

A masquerade mask is a covering for the face that usually covers the space around the eyes and part of the nose, leaving the mouth visible. They are worn during formal events like masquerade balls and parties, and come in many different styles and colours. Sometimes Venetian masks are worn as well, but these usually cover the entire face and obscure the eyes.

What are masquerade masks used for?

Masquerade masks are used to partially disguise the identity of the wearer, although because they often leave the mouth and hair exposed, people well-known to each other will be able to identify each other. They are a costume accessory that will often be matched to a masquerade dress or suit, which is worn to a masquerade ball or party. Masquerade masks usually attach using an elastic that goes around the back of the heads, although combs and pins can be used to keep them in place as well. Some are also attached to a stick which can be raised and lowered with the wearer's hand.

What to wear with a masquerade mask

Depending on the formality of an event, a masquerade mask will be paired with either a formal or semi-formal dress for women, and a suit or semi-formal shirt and pants for men. Masquerade masks should match or complement the clothes of the wearer - so a black mash should be worn with black clothing, a red mask with red clothing etc.
