The laces are made from vinyl with a hypoallergenic backing so that you can delicately place them around your eye area - who needs eye shadow!
The stick on Face Lace made it's debut at the FW12 Corrie Nielsen show, providing a gorgeous extension of the plaid fabric to the face and perfectly reflecting the collection's reference to Scottish Clans, Victoriana and a touch of the equestrian.
What's more these lace sensations are now available to buy!
I have recently discovered the Phyllis Cohen range in Harvey Nichols where the appliqués are available as singles from £15.95 and packs from £45.95.
They're ideal for the artistically ambitious, in the post-Gaga era, looking to add a touch of unique flair to an evening look.
Dare to be a little braver now and you will prove your fashion forwardness before the look inevitably becomes as commonly seen as the false eyelash.
We can already see the opulent eye-work reaching the media through music videos - so hurry!

A further way to incorporate the lace look into your eye make-up are lace lashes, providing a more subtle approach to the bold look.
