Products for Alteration of Facial Contours

Wax Compositions for three dimensional effects
A 3-D alteration of the shape of the nose may be achieved with the materials described as follows. When working with these materials the fingers should be dipped in a gel, or water if gel is not available to prevent the wax material from adhering to the fingers. 3-D wax preparations should be applied and sealed, using KRYOLAN Sealer before the foundation. After the performance the artificial (sculpted) nose may be removed by holding a thread between two fingers and sliding the thread down the bridge towards the tip of the nose to loosen the wax material, the residue of which may then be removed with Make-up Remover.

Nose Putty
Wax stick composition for moulding noses. Manipulate in hand until mouldable. Recommended using gel on fingers to prevent putty from sticking to fingers. May be adhered to skin with Spirit Gum.

Soft Putty
Soft nose putty, suitable for general moulding use. May be adhered to skin with Spirit Gum.
