Face Lace have introduced five beautiful new designs to their collection, including additions to their Eye Lace range and two brand-new Demi-Veil designs.
If you haven't yet discovered these intricate ready-to-wear make-up designs, Face Lace is a new concept from make-up artist Phyllis Cohen in response to so many people’s plea: “I wish I could do make-up like you.”
Making its debut in 'Corrie Nielsen's' Autumn show at London Fashion Week in February 2012, the unique motifs are inspired by such diverse sources as Op Art, French Lace, Mehndi, Ironwork and Calligraphic flourishes.

Artist History
Founder Phyllis Cohen is famous for her intricate designs and innovative creations. Shooting to fame in the eighties, she was responsible for creating many of the decade's most bold and extravagant looks for the likes of Annie Lennox, Steve Strange and David Bowie. More recently, Phyllis designed tattoos for Jean-Paul Gaultier and House of Holland, and her editorial work spans Vogue to Dazed and Confused.

Originally an Illustrator and Fine Art graduate, Phyllis has an eye for artistic, bold fashion masterpieces. “Back in the eighties, I used to make stick-on makeup adornments for Zandra Rhodes’ shows. I also used to use vinyl stencils, and I was wondering how I could combine the two things when I dreamed up the idea for this” she explains.
Tip: Whilst not necessarily everyday wear, these stick-on designs make it simple to adorn your face or body, adding a unique flair to an evening or fancy dress look. If feeling creative, you can add your own touches with coloured liners and lashes. I think these would be fantastic to add a little touch of glamour to your up-coming Halloween event.
