The black metal Selina eye mask with rhinestones is an openwork half-mask made of metal in a lace-like leaf pattern, with clear stones along the bridge of the nose. You wear it over your eyes and nose, leaving your mouth, cheeks, and chin free and your lipstick clearly visible. Women and men wear it for a masquerade ball or for a Venetian-style carnival.

When do you wear a metal Venetian mask?
You wear a metal Venetian mask at a masquerade ball, where partially concealing your face is just right for the evening. The tradition dates back to the carnival of Venice, where masks temporarily erased the differences in rank and status. Because this metal is openwork, your skin and eye makeup show through the pattern. If you want your makeup to be part of the look, choose such a filigree mask, while a solid mask is better suited if you want to conceal your face completely.
Makeup and jewelry around the metal mask
Dark eyeliner and smoky eyeshadow make the almond-shaped eye holes stand out more sharply behind the lace. Deep red or burgundy lips provide a counterpoint to the dark metal, as the lower part of your face remains free. Choose earrings or a necklace with clear stones to echo the rhinestones on the nose bridge. Men complete the look with shiny cufflinks or a tie pin in the same clear shade, and swept-up hair beautifully showcases the tapering points on the sides.
Choose the black metal Selina eye mask with rhinestones and look out at the dance floor through the metal leaves at the masquerade ball.
