What did the face masks used in 1590-1605 look like?

I need to do some research for a class play on these. We are doing the play Much Ado About Nothing, by William Shakespeare. We were hoping we could make our own masks, for the banquet scene/dance scene.What did the face masks used in 1590-1605 look like?

Hope the link helps. Watching an ';in period'; movie might help too. Examples would be any movie of one of his shows that is set in the correct time period.





Taming of the Shrew (1967)


Romeo and Juilet (1968)


Much Ado About Nothing (1993)


Hamlet (1996)
