From eye mask to latex head mask: the types of devil masks

Eye masks only cover your eyes and the bridge of your nose, such as the red eye mask with small black horns and a curved tail along the side.
Half masks leave the mouth and chin free, for example the bright red Demoon half mask or a skull mask with a flame print.
Latex head masks extend all around down to the neck, with sharp relief and sometimes dark mesh behind the eyes.
Theater models are decorated with lace, sequins, rhinestones or feathers and often have ribbed horns.
Models with a fixed hood cover your own hair, and on ram and Baphomet masks, heavy horns or antlers curl along your temples.

What to look for when choosing a devil mask?

First choose the model, because that determines how completely your face is covered. A latex head mask follows the shape of your head and covers everything except your neck, but you will be warmer in it and speaking will be less easy. An eye mask or half mask leaves the mouth and chin free, so you can simply eat and drink at a busy party. Also pay attention to visibility: some masks have large open eye cutouts, others dark mesh that makes your face look closer. That mesh looks tight from the outside, but in a dimly lit hall you will see less clearly through it. Finally, look at the fastening, because that varies by model: an elastic band behind the head, a satin ribbon that you tie or a cord attached to two buttons at the temples. Devils with horns and a cloven hoof come from old European folk tales and that image has never gone away from costume shops, which explains why the devil mask remains so recognizable.

Which devil mask suits whom?

For women, there are lace eye masks with rhinestones, glitter versions and theater models with a hood, such as the white-painted mask with black ram horns. Men especially like the sturdier face and head masks: red latex with fangs, an off-white skull with black horns or a flaming model that covers the entire head. There is one child model, a bright red mask with black horns and pointed ears.

Combine a devil mask with the rest of your outfit

A half mask or eye mask leaves your forehead and hair free, so a devil wig fits nicely there. If you go for a model without horns or want extra profile, devil ears complete the look. With devil face paint, you can finish your neck and hands, so the color continues under the mask. If you prefer something without horns, take a look at Halloween masks.

Buy a devil mask for Halloween or Carnival

Whether you want to buy a devil mask for a Halloween party, a Carnival parade or a costume party: choose the model that suits your outfit and order it separately. If you are looking for a subtle version, take an eye mask. If you want to be unrecognizable, a head mask is the better choice.
