These basic colors form the palette for your mask.

Most of the mask are made with feathers. You can also find mask in silver and gold. Each is accented with black or white depending on what you want to represent. Peacock feathers add a bit of mystery because of their resemblance to eyes that watch your partners every move.

For added sparkle and style look for beads and bright ribbons that drape from the mask. You do not want the drape of beads and ribbons to be too long because they can become easily snagged and break.

Mask come in two forms of wear. One is with elastic to hold the mask in place around your head freeing both hands. Next a mask with a hand held stick attached to one side to hold in front of your eyes. This is a great style if you wear glasses because you can adjust the mask to your needs and sight.

Always try on your mask before purchase. A masquerade ball mask must have a comfortable fit and you must be able to breath without effort. Many mask have a felt lining along the inside edge for comfort. If your mask does not fit properly it can slip preventing easy breathing or clear vision.
