Ben Nye Nose & Scar Wax Fair 1 oz – Moldable special effects wax, translucent finish for light skin

Lightweight yet firm, this 1-ounce pot of Fair-colored Nose & Scar Wax lets makeup artists sculpt convincing facial modifications that blend seamlessly with lighter skin tones. The translucent formula is designed to imitate skin texture and hold shape under stage lights, while remaining workable for shaping, smoothing, and feathering edges into surrounding skin.

How does this wax recreate noses, scars, or other facial features?

The wax is soft enough to model detailed shapes but maintains structure once placed. Artists compress, roll, or layer the wax, then contour and feather its edges to transition into natural skin for lifelike results.

• Moldable consistency for shaping broken noses, chins, or prosthetic ridges
• Featherable edges that smooth into skin for subtle transitions
• Translucent tone to simulate skin depth and reduce opaque look
• Holds form under lights and during performance

What tools and techniques work best with Nose & Scar Wax?

Use spatulas, sculpting tools, and setting powder for clean edges and longer wear. Heat from fingers makes the wax more pliable; powders and adhesives help blend and secure pieces in place.

• Warm slightly between fingers for easier molding and smoothing
• Apply spirit gum or prosthetic adhesive for secure attachment
• Set with translucent or matching powder to reduce shine and lock edges
• Layer with foundation, cream makeup, or alcohol-activated paints for color match

How long does a single 1-ounce pot last and how is it stored?

Longevity depends on project scale and frequency of use; a little wax goes a long way for tight details. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat and sunlight to retain consistency and prevent melting.

• 1-ounce pot suitable for multiple small prosthetics or test pieces
• Keep lid closed when not in use to avoid drying and contamination
• If softened by heat, refrigerate briefly to firm up before use
• Clean tools after each use to prolong wax usability

Will this shade match my skin and how do I blend it?

Fair is formulated for lighter complexions but can be color-corrected to match a range of tones. Apply cream or powder makeup over the wax and feather pigments outward to achieve a seamless finish.

• Use fair wax as a base for light skin tones or as a neutral starting point
• Tint with cream foundations or greasepaint for customized shades
• Finish with setting spray to meld layers together and reduce tackiness
• Blend edges with a stippling sponge or soft brush for natural transitions
