Mehron Makeup Spirit Gum (4.5 oz) (Matte)

Works great as long as it's not being attached to a moving part. My nose prosthetic held very well, but the chin prosthetic fell off about a dozen times. Super irritating.

Good stuff, holds well for 9 hours before needing to reapply. I have their travel size one and I noticed the formula is different between the two. I feel the travel size holds better, but this is a very large bottle, and if you wear wigs everyday all day like I do, u will need both this large bottle to initially get it on, then the travel size one for touchups bc u will periodically touch up. This needs to get tacky before it will stick. The travel size one didn't.

I was looking for a product that I could use to adhere homemade motion capture markers to my face, and I came across this. I know spirit gum is used in visual effects and makeup so I wanted to try this out and see how well it held up. Unfortunately, mine didn't come with a brush (which is fine, I can use a Q-Tip to apply the gum to my skin and put on the marker) but once the markers were on my skin (a gentle press and roll the marker into place), it barely moved and once it dries, you'll barely notice it. For a little laugh, I accidentally ripped a single hair out of lip, which is why having the remover is important. Thankfully some rubbing alcohol did the trick.

I tried a little on my arm to see if it would work and that I wasn't sensitive to whatever is in it. It's a free flowing liquid. I made a circle on my arm with my finger and tested the stick it proved as it dried. It got tacky, but nothing I would say that could hold anything for very long. What surprised me was that when I washed with soap and water almost all of it came off! There was a little residue, but barely noticeable. It will not work for me as I sweat too much if that is the case.

I used this for my Halloween costume this year, I stuck lightweight pieces of fabric above my eyes (over my eyebrows). I was concerned about it ripping off my eyebrow hair but with some eye makeup remover and oil, they came right off with ease. The best way I found to put it on was to put it on my face and the item I was attaching, let it get tacky and then stick and hold for a minute. From cold to hot, it stayed on great!
