Setting Hearts A-Flutter with Mardi Gras Feather Mask
See our complete range of Mardi Gras Masks.
It is said that masks have been worn to the Mardi Gras and its parties for hundreds of years mainly to maintain the anonymous personality of the person wearing the mask. On one hand, the poor wore masks to the banquet of the wealthy so that they will not be turned away. On the other hand, the wealthy wore masks to the street parties of the masses so that their brethren will not censure them. Indeed, it was a cat and mouse game then!

Nowadays, the Mardi Gras masks serve a similar purpose of maintaining the air of mystery about the person. The aspect about fearing censure of attending parties where you should not be in is relegated to the far reaches of history, thanks to the homogenous character of the Mardi Gras. Unless, of course, you are a celebrity hiding from the paparazzi, then you do have reason to wear a mask during the Mardi Gras festivities.

First, you have to emphasize your mouth and eyes when applying on the makeup. Keep in mind that these are the two most visible parts of the face when the mask is worn, which is especially true with the half mask and the stick mask. Even the full face mask and the head mask will expose majority of your eyes.
So, how can you attract special attention to your eyes and lips? Well, use bright colors, of course! Your eyes should be made up in such a way as to add mystique to your aura, emphasize the glints in your pupils, and just generally call attention to the fact that your eyes are the windows to your soul. And just right now, your soul says to seduce the person looking through your Mardi Gras feathered mask and into your eyes.
Your lips should also attract attention although there is absolutely no need to go for collagen injections to achieve the trout pout look. Instead, you should put on the reddest lipstick you can find and smile at the person you wish to seduce. And it will not hurt to pucker up either.
Second, do learn to play and flirt with your mask. In fact, there are plenty of things you can convey with just a simple flick of your mask! Just a few samples of the language of flirting using even the simplest Mardi Gras feathered mask:
* When using a stick mask, place it just beside your head to signify that you are interested but you still need more convincing. Otherwise, back to the eyes the mask goes. This is playing coy, of course.
* Again using the stick mask, slowly push it away from your face like in slow motion while maintaining eye contact. This conveys the message that you are unmasking yourself to him slowly but surely.
And of course, don’t forget to flirt with your eyes even when your Mardi Gras feathered mask is on your face. Soon enough, your efforts to seduce will be richly rewarded even when you are fully dressed in your Mardi Gras Costume Queen of Hearts gown, not in costume bikini thongs.
