Ben Nye Nose & Scar Wax Light Brown, 71gr

Ben Nye Nose & Scar Wax Light Brown, 71gr

Ben Nye Nose & Scar Wax Light Brown is a mouldable modelling wax for 3D effects on mid-toned skin. Use it to create broken noses, cuts, scars, bullet holes, blocked brows and seamless prosthetic edges. The wax is firm enough to hold its shape, yet flexible enough to blend into the skin with thin, smooth transitions. The 71g pot is the standard professional size for theatre, film, SFX and cosplay.

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 it pliable and easy to work with directly on skin.

The Light Brown shade has a slightly translucent tone that works well with warm and mid-toned complexions, including olive and Mediterranean skin tones. For fair skin there is Nose & Scar Wax Fair, 71gr. For deeper skin tones there is Nose & Scar Wax Brown, 71gr.

Why choose this wax?

Firm yet mouldable: the wax stays in place during modelling, but remains flexible enough to create sharp shapes and fine transitions. No moulds or casting techniques needed.

Natural skin finish: the Light Brown shade is slightly translucent, so your natural skin tone stays subtly visible through the wax. This makes the effect look more realistic on camera and up close, especially on warm and olive complexions.

Professional standard: Ben Nye Nose & Scar Wax has been used in theatre, film, cosplay and special effects make-up for decades. This 71g pot is enough for dozens of small effects or several larger projects.

How to use the wax

Step 1: knead the wax until soft. Take a small piece of wax and knead it briefly between your fingers until it becomes pliable. Avoid working it too long, as overheated wax can turn sticky.

Step 2: apply Spirit Gum. Apply a thin layer of Ben Nye Spirit Gum or ProAiir Pros-Aide to the 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 fingertips. A small amount of vaseline on your tools prevents the wax from sticking.

Step 4: set and colour. Once modelled, apply a thin layer of Neutral Set Powder over the wax to remove shine and make colouring easier. Then colour the wax using cream make-up or alcohol make-up.

Pro tip from Linda: want the wax to stay firmly in place through 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. Lift remaining Spirit Gum residue using Ben Nye Bond Off or Ben Nye Spirit Gum Remover on a cotton pad. Cleanse the skin afterwards with water and soap.
