Abstract: The present invention provides a reusable masquerade formed of delicate or fragile material that can be retained to skin surface without straps/bands through a backing and adhesive. Suitable delicate materials may include lace, embroidery, brocade, crochet, netting, fishnet, mesh, tissue paper, sequins, beads, and filigree. The backing is applied to the delicate material by ironing, heating, or melting it on. Suitable backing materials may include vinyl, rubber, and plastic. The periphery of the masquerade comprising the delicate material together with attached backing is precisely cut to at least partially conform to a design on the delicate material and to conform to an anatomy of a target skin surface on which it is placed. The masquerade may be placed on the face with a hole for the eye in it. It can be worn again as the adhesive is easily removed from the backing and skin with conventional means.
