Matching the Perfect Masquerade Masks and Dresses

Being asked to attend a masquerade ball is a really exciting time. The opportunity to dress up in a glamorous and unusual fashion isn't something we are faced with every day so making the most of it is really important. You want this to be a night you look your best so take some time to learn how best to match masquerade masks and dresses.

Whilst choosing your masquerade dress and matching mask several factors should be taken into account. Your dress itself should flatter your skin tone. Its fairly easy to find out if you've got a warm or cool skin tone based on the colour of your natural hair. Any trained beautician will be able to tell just by looking at you so its worth asking. As a rule however dark haired people have cool skin tones and fair haired people have warm.

Once you know which colours flatter you the process of picking a dress should be far simpler. Requiring your mask and dress to match exactly may mean you need to take some extra time. Unless you go for standard black or white finding the exact shade of mask to match your dress could be problematic.

One option available to you if you do decide to choose a more unusual coloured dress and cannot find a matching mask is picking a mask that is covered in gems. Another option that would work is going for a gold or silver mask. Both of these options would look better than something a shade or two away from your dress.

Remember to keep any jewellery you wear uniform to your colour scheme also.

When using a gold mask don't wear silver jewellery. The same applies to nail polish.

Later when you look back over the photographs of your wonderful evening you'll be glad you gave a little extra thought to your outfit.
