Mehron Makeup Spirit Gum (1 oz) - Matte Adhesive for Special Effects & Prosthetics

Product Overview

Mehron Makeup Spirit Gum is a trusted, industry-standard adhesive used by makeup artists, cosplayers, and theater performers to attach prosthetics, bald caps, latex appliances, and facial hair. This 1 oz bottle delivers a matte finish that blends seamlessly with makeup, preventing unwanted shine under stage or studio lights. Whether you're creating a zombie wound, an elf ear, or a full-face transformation, this spirit gum ensures your application stays in place through hours of wear.

Key Features and Benefits

• Strong, Reliable Hold: Formulated to keep prosthetics and appliances firmly attached to the skin, even during movement and perspiration.
• Matte Finish: Dries to a non-shiny surface that does not reflect light, making it ideal for film, photography, and stage where glare can ruin the illusion.
• Skin-Safe Formula: Designed for use on skin when applied correctly, with a history of safe use in professional makeup.
• Easy Application: The included brush allows precise application to small or detailed areas. Simply apply a thin layer to both the skin and the appliance, let it become tacky, then press firmly.
• Versatile Use: Works with a wide range of materials including latex, silicone, and gelatin prosthetics, as well as crepe hair for beards and mustaches.
• Easy Removal: When used with Mehron Spirit Gum Remover or a gentle adhesive remover, it comes off cleanly without damaging the skin or the appliance.

How to Use

Begin by cleaning the skin area where the prosthetic will be applied. Apply a thin, even layer of spirit gum to both the skin and the back of the prosthetic appliance using the brush or a separate applicator. Wait 30-60 seconds until the adhesive becomes tacky (it will feel sticky but not wet). Press the appliance firmly onto the skin, hold for a few seconds, and blend the edges with makeup or concealer as needed. To remove, gently apply spirit gum remover to the edges and carefully peel away. Clean any residue with remover and mild soap.

Who It Is For

This product is ideal for professional makeup artists working in film, television, and theater, as well as hobbyists and cosplayers who want reliable adhesion for their costumes. It is also used by haunt actors, Halloween enthusiasts, and anyone creating special effects makeup at home. Beginners will appreciate the easy application process, while pros rely on its consistent performance.
