Based on the sheer number of websites where one can purchase masks for masquerade balls, it is clear that masquerade balls are certainly on an uptrend. There is a great variety of masks to be found online nowadays. Depending on personal taste and how well it complements the costume, a mask can make or break the visual impact of a masquerade costume or an elegant outfit. In a masquerade ball, the mask is the single, most important piece of accessory that ball attendees can and will never do without.

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.

If you are creative, artistic, crafty, and have enough time, you can also make your own masks for masquerade balls you will be attending to be original. For those who are not, there are a lot of beautifully handcrafted masquerade ball masks that can be purchased online.

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.

asquerade ball masks are of different kind. Because people have learned to appreciate wearing those masks, many companies have been involved in this kind of business. They are able to produce a good number of beautiful masquerade ball masks which will suit anyone's taste. There are two kinds of masquerade masks. There are regular masks which are worn directly tied to your face. There are also masquerade ball masks that are stick masks. Whatever the type of mask is, you will look elegant at any special event.

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.

Women choose to wear masquerade masks on sticks because they are able to hold them in front but not directly on their faces. This is a great advantage because women like to put on heavy make ups and want their hair dressed up so they spend a lot of time with it. Therefore using stick masks are really more favorable than using a regular mask.
