Kryolan NOSE PUTTY, 20g - art.1400 / nose wax

Kryolan Nose Putty is a wax preparation designed for creating smaller wounds and altering the shape of the nose and chin. It is one of the classics in special effects makeup. Its texture is quite firm, but it softens with the warmth of your hands, making it moldable. It can be adhered using mastix. For improved adhesion, adding a little hair crepe to the adhesive can enhance the quality of the bond. A challenge arises when attempting to paint it, as the wax absorbs the paint. Therefore, a sealer is necessary to prevent the makeup from being absorbed. Over time, the wax may lose adhesion at the thin, worked edges due to facial expressions. To counter this, applying the sealer over the thinned edges and extending it onto the skin without wax creates a protective layer, ensuring the adhesion lasts longer at the edges.

Waxes come in various hardness levels, and makeup artists have their preferences. The harder the wax, the more stable the shape created. However, this also means it is less flexible and does not follow facial expressions as well. The best area for its use is the bridge of the nose, where there is less movement. Nose Putty is less suitable for creating injuries compared to Plastici.

Nose Putty is a wax preparation for alterations of the natural nose form. The required amount of Nose Putty is kneaded between the fingers, with coarse preliminary modeling done with the model mounted on a finger knuckle. The fingers must first be moistened with a little water or gel to prevent undesirable adherence of the putty to the fingers. The small, preliminary wax model is then transferred onto the bridge of the nose, and the work is completed in the form of fine modeling. Before applying makeup, the wax part should be dabbed with Sealer.
