Ben Nye Nose & Scar Wax Fair, 28gr is a mouldable modelling wax for creating 3D effects on the skin. Use it for broken noses, cuts, scars, bullet holes and other wound effects. The Fair shade has a slightly translucent colour that works well with light skin tones. This 28gr pot is the smallest size in the range and ideal for individual projects, beginners and smaller effects.

What is Ben Nye Nose & Scar Wax?

Ben Nye Nose & Scar Wax is a professional modelling wax based on petrolatum, beeswax and carnauba wax. The warmth of your hands makes the wax pliable and easy to work with directly on the skin.

The Fair shade is slightly translucent and suits light skin tones well. For warmer skin tones there is also Brown and Light Brown, both available in 71gr.

Why choose this wax?

Firm yet easy to shape: the wax holds its position while you model it, but remains pliable enough to create sharp shapes and thin seamless edges. No moulds or casting techniques needed.

Natural skin finish: the Fair colour is slightly translucent, so your own skin tone remains subtly visible through the wax. This makes the effect look more natural on camera and up close.

Professional standard: Ben Nye Nose & Scar Wax has been used for years in theatre, film, cosplay and special effects make-up. This 28gr pot is suited to individual projects and smaller effects.

How to use the wax

Step 1: knead the wax until soft. Take a small piece and knead it briefly between your fingers until it softens. Don't overwork it, as wax that gets too warm can become sticky.

Step 2: apply Spirit Gum. Apply a thin layer of Ben Nye Spirit Gum or ProAiir Pros-Aide to the area of skin where you want to place the wax. Allow the adhesive to dry for a few seconds until it feels tacky.

Step 3: model the shape. Press the wax gently onto the skin and sculpt the effect into shape. Blend the edges smoothly using a spatula or your fingers. A small amount of Vaseline on your tool helps prevent the wax from sticking.

Step 4: set and colour. To remove the shine and tackiness from the wax, set it with a thin layer of Neutral Set Powder. You can then colour your creation with cream make-up or alcohol make-up.

Pro tip from Linda: want the wax to stay firmly in place during long shooting days, theatre runs or Halloween events? Apply a thin layer of Ben Nye Liquid Latex Clear over the wax.

Setting and removal

The wax stays in place through the combination with Spirit Gum.

Remove the bulk of the wax with your spatula. Residue from Spirit Gum can be removed with Ben Nye Bond Off or Ben Nye Spirit Gum Remover on a cotton pad. Then cleanse the skin with water and soap.

What can you use it for?

• Small cuts, scars and bullet holes for theatre, film and Halloween
• Broken noses, monster and witch creations and other character effects
• Blocking out eyebrows for drag, cosplay and character transformations
• Blending prosthetic edges seamlessly into the skin
