Description

Gru Character Nose Prosthetic

This sale is for a Gru Character Nose Prosthetic, inspired by the iconic look of Gru from Despicable Me. Perfect for cosplaying or enhancing your Gru costume, this prosthetic will help you fully embody the beloved character.

There are two options available:

1. Newer, Improved Design: Featuring a slightly more hooked shape, this version does not wrap around the nostrils, making it easier to apply. It offers a fresh, clean design for a more comfortable fit.
2. Older Design: This version is slightly longer and wraps around the nostrils, which can make it harder to apply. It may also show some minor imperfections due to an aging mold, but still provides a classic Gru look.

Material:

Available in two options:

• Rubber Latex – This version is a basic style and a hollow piece that can be packed out with cotton wool if necessary. Comes in a plain latex tone.

• Foam Latex – A more advanced option, foam latex is lighter and more durable. It provides a better fit, is easier to wear for extended periods, and holds its shape better over time.

Differences between the materials are described in the FAQ. I also discuss them in this video.

Painting & Adhesive Options

• Painting: Since these masks are sold unpainted, you can paint them using grease paints, acrylics, Pax paints, or water-based colors.

• Adhesive: Use adhesives like Spirit Gum, Aqua FX (budget-friendly), or Pros-Aide (for long-wear). Pros-Aide and its cream form also help blend edges and can be mixed with acrylic to create Pax paint.

How to Apply Latex

1. Position the prosthetic and trim it to fit if necessary.

2. Apply adhesive on both the prosthetic and your skin.

3. Add cotton wool to bulk up any hollow areas if needed.

4. Press the prosthetic into place once the adhesive is tacky.

5. Use more adhesive or latex around the edges to blend.

6. Powder the prosthetic to remove shine.

7. Paint to match your skin tone or create fantasy designs as desired.

Post-Purchase Care (Latex)

• Remove the mask with an oil-based remover and clean it with a makeup cleanser.

• For tougher stains, use white spirit or IPA.

• Always test adhesives and paints on a small area to check for allergies.
