Carnival masks are masks one would typically see at a carnival, or a festival such as Mardi Gras or the Mexican Día de Muertos.
The areas most commonly covered by these masks are the full face, one half of the face, or only the eyes.
These masks are often characterized by flamboyant colors and patterns, materials such as lace, sequins, and feathers, and a matching costume, though these are not requirements.
