Adhesives and removers are two sides of the same coin when it comes to wearing clown noses. A good body adhesive, prosthetic adhesive, or latex adhesive will help you keep your comical clown nose on for the duration of your act, while our Mehron brand adhesive remover will ensure that you can get the nose off when you're done. If latex bothers you, we also offer the traditional Spirit Gum adhesive or Mehron and Kryolan brand medical adhesives for sensitive skin. All of these adhesives dry fast and come off easily when an adhesive remover is applied.
Have the skin free of makeup and powder when applying adhesive.
Apply a light coat of adhesive to clown nose and lightly put it in place on your own nose.
Remove the clown nose and give it a second coat of adhesive.
Following the pattern made on your own nose, apply a light coat of adhesive on your skin.
Let both the clown nose and your own nose dry, and using a hair dryer can speed this up.
Now apply the clown nose to your own nose taking special care to get it in the exact location.
