Carnival of Venice

Here's a storefront selling masks for the upcoming Carnival of Venice. I was always under the impression that makeup or face paint was used along with ornate clothing. As it turns out, the eyes seem to be the only part of the face that's visible behind the masks which are intricately painted. Sometimes you need to travel halfway around the world to find these things out. Of course there's google, but that's a bit too easy.
