The round silver masquerade eye mask is an oval half mask with a shiny metallic finish that covers your eyes and the bridge of your nose. You can wear it as a lady or gentleman with an evening dress, a tuxedo, or a historical costume, and because your mouth remains free, you can simply talk, eat, and drink with it on. This makes it perfect for a masquerade ball, a Venetian party, or an evening during Carnival.

The half mask in the tradition of the masquerade ball
A mask that only covers the upper part of the face has traditionally been associated with the Venetian Carnival and the masquerade balls that originated from it. This allowed guests to remain anonymous while still being able to dance, talk, and toast. A plain mask without decoration lets the outfit speak for itself and makes it easy to maintain the same look as a whole group.
How to wear the masquerade mask on a party evening
For a classic masquerade ball, combine it with a three-piece suit, a white curly wig, and a velvet jacket for an eighteenth-century look. If you are going to a glamour party, the metallic surface matches sequins, a shiny top hat, or a silver bow. Ladies often choose a light cape with a hood or an evening dress, paired with red lips, so that the mask remains the focal point of the face. If your whole group is masked, matching masks with different evening wear create a recognizable group look.
