Mardi Gras Masks for Sale: Find Your Perfect Festive Disguise

If comfort is priority, this Mardi Gras Feather Half Mask earned a 6/10 in our review for its easy headband-style fit that stays put without pinching. The half-mask design pairs velvet trim, gold braids, and colorful feather accents for a festive look at a reasonable $24.29. Our testing found the plastic base feels less durable than fabric or molded options, and the feathers can be shorter than the photos imply. It also runs small on larger adult heads, so consider alternatives if you need a roomier fit.

During our review, the Forum Novelties Deluxe Mardi Gras Feather Mask delivered eye-catching color and a delightfully lightweight feel for parade wear. The half-mask design with an elastic strap was comfortable for hours, though the plastic build and fragile feather details made it feel toy-like in hand. At $24.99 and a 5.5/10 score, it's a middling value; handle gently and expect possible loose pieces from shipping. If you can stretch the budget, our top-rated peacock feather option felt sturdier and more refined.

Our top-rated pick, the Women's Feather Peacock Masquerade Mask, earned its 9.5/10 by blending dramatic peacock plumes with a lightweight polyresin body that stayed comfortable all night. In our testing, the ribbon-tie half-mask fit securely on most faces, delivering a luxe look at a fair $28 price. Do handle the feathers gently; they're delicate, and note the one-size design won't suit everyone. If you want maximum visual impact without a heavy mask, this is the standout choice in the guide.

While not our highest scorer, the Leg Avenue Rhinestone Devil Mask earned 6.5/10 in our testing thanks to dazzling rhinestone embellishments and a surprisingly comfy soft felt backing. As a half mask with an elastic strap, it's easy to slip on for parades or parties, though the stretchy band ran tight on larger heads and we noticed a few stones could loosen with heavy use. At $22, it's a fun, flashy pick for short-to-medium wear when you want impact without overspending.

On a tight budget, we found the Glitter Trim Rhinestone Half Mask eye-catching for quick costume changes and party favors. The lightweight molded plastic and ribbon tie make it comfortable and hands-free, a practical edge over stick-style masks for dancing or parades. At $6.50 and a 5/10 score, it's best for one- or two-time wear, as rhinestones and glitter can shed and the plastic feels flimsy. If you want longevity, consider metal or feathered picks instead.

For a stylish mid-price pick, this Venetian Columbina earned an 8/10 in our testing thanks to its featherlight lace construction and soft satin ribbon ties. As a half mask, it's breathable and easy to wear for hours, keeping your mouth free for sipping and conversation. Our experience shows the one-size design won't contour perfectly to every face, though most users found a comfortable fit. Note that rhinestone accents are optional paid add-ons—nice if you want extra sparkle without committing to a heavier mask.

Our top-rated choice at 10/10, the Colombina Black from Venezia Maschere impressed us during review with authentic Italian craftsmanship and featherweight papier-mâché comfort. The half-mask shape and ribbon ties sit lightly on the face, while subtle rhinestones and glitter give just the right festive polish for parades or black-tie balls. Do double-knot the ribbons; our experience shows loose bows can slip after hours of dancing. Because each piece is handmade, expect slight variations—and note it's not for those seeking full-face coverage.

Serious masqueraders will appreciate this handmade Venetian Jolly Jester, which earned an 8.5/10 in our review for its authentic papier-mâché build, music-sheet fabric tips, and cheerful gold bells. The half-mask profile and ribbon ties keep your mouth free for toasting and chatting while staying secure all night. Though pricier than mass-market options, our experience shows the craftsmanship stands out, but U.S. buyers should factor in longer delivery and a requested phone number because it ships from the Netherlands. A true statement piece worth the wait.

Hosting a crowd? The Beistle Glittered Mask with Stick 12-pack is an ultra-economical way to add sparkle, costing under a dollar per mask and perfect for photo booths or parade throws. During our review, the glittered half-masks looked festive but shed some glitter, and the plastic stick handle proved less secure than a strap for dancing or long wear. With a 5.5/10, it's great for bulk parties on a budget. For hands-free comfort, the ribbon-tie options performed better.

For groups, the Beistle Metal Filigree 6-pack is a smart buy, delivering an upscale metal look with faux gems for roughly ten dollars per mask. Our experience shows the ribbon ties need occasional retying and the metal feels heavier than plastic or felt options, but the half-mask silhouette photographs beautifully. It earned a 7/10 for value at $57.65, ideal for krewes, bridal parties, or coordinated costumes. Just note the one-size design can be less forgiving than higher-end, fitted masks.

During our review, the Spirit Halloween EL Wire Stitched Half Mask proved party-ready right out of the box, with two included AA batteries and a visible EL glow that works indoors and at dusk. The lightweight PVC half-mask and elastic strap were easy to wear for hours, though the plastic feel and limited coverage kept it from feeling premium. Scoring 7.5/10 at $19.99, it's a solid upgrade over cheaper EL options thanks to ready-to-use convenience and a glow suited to more settings. Fit is one size, so comfort may vary.

As the cheapest light-up option we tested, the Blinkee Mardi Gras Mask is pure novelty fun with three modes (flash, blink, steady) and included AG3 batteries so it lights up right away. The compact half-mask with an elastic strap fits most faces, but the ultra-light plastic feels flimsy and the small batteries can be pricey to replace. With a 4.5/10, it's best for a one-night party favor or parade toss. For repeat use, the EL-lit picks offered better value.

We found the Aqua EL Wire Glow Mask to be a fun, ultra-budget way to stand out after dark, thanks to its distinct aqua electroluminescent outline. The half-mask ties with ribbon and runs on two easily replaceable AA batteries, but EL brightness trails LED options and there's a faint high-pitched whine in quiet spaces. At $7.99 with a 6.5/10 score, it's strong novelty value for nighttime parades. If you want more visibility, the Spirit Halloween EL mask offers a more polished, ready-to-use experience, though it costs more.

If you love a feline vibe, the Scarlet Whiskers Cat Mask brings bold red glitter and rhinestone sparkle in a lightweight molded half-mask. During our review, the elastic strap kept it comfortable, but adult-only sizing and limited coverage reduced its versatility. With no light-up features and a 4.5/10 score, it's the weakest value in this guide at $20. For a more festive statement, the feathered options tested felt more special, and spending slightly more netted better build and impact.

For little revelers, our testing shows the Kids Peacock Felt Mask is a standout: soft wool-blend felt, machine-stitched durability, and a ready-to-wear elastic. The half-mask coverage stays comfy for parades and classroom parties, and the colorful peacock design pops without glitter mess or lights. It earned an 8.5/10 for kid-friendly value at $13, with the caveat that it's hand wash only and not for children under three due to small parts. As handmade pieces, slight variations add charm.

If you're outfitting a whole krewe, this 12-pack is a bargain at $19.99 and scored 7.5/10 in our testing for value and festive flair. The half-mask design with elastic straps is easy to hand out, and the bright sequins plus feather accents pop in photos and parades. Our experience shows the thin plastic feels flimsy compared with pricier options, and a few masks may arrive with sparse or missing embellishments. Still, for parties, classrooms, or throw-ins, the cost-per-mask is hard to beat.
