Fake Noses

Choose a fake nose by the character you are playing. For a big, pointy storybook profile, the 6.29 in long fake nose is the one most often ordered from this search; it is skin-toned and its length is fixed. For a witch, the green latex witch nose adds a hooked tip and a wart, and for a clown there is a round red plastic nose on a string. None of the three needs glue: each is held on by a strap or string, and all are listed for kids and adults.

  1. Ordered most from this search: a 6.29 in long, pointy nose on a 1.77 in base, held by an elastic strap with no glue.

  2. Green latex witch nose with a hooked tip and a wart, 3.15 x 0.9 x 1.77 in, on a black elastic strap.

  3. A 1.77 in glossy red clown nose in molded plastic with a white string, listed for kids and adults.

What to look for

  • Check how far it sticks out. The long nose projects 6.29 in (about 16 cm) from a 1.77 in (4.5 cm) base and reads from the back of a hall, while the 3.15 x 0.9 x 1.77 in witch nose reshapes your nose rather than adding a beak.
  • Fit it a day ahead: slip the strap behind your head, check your profile in a mirror, and move the strap lower on the back of the head if it rides up.
  • The witch nose is latex and the clown nose is molded plastic; the long nose's material is not stated. For a wearer with a latex sensitivity, the clown nose is the one to choose.
  • The clown nose is a rigid shell, so check comfort during a long parade or a full show and take it off between scenes.
  • The witch nose covers the nose only, not the face, so the underside of your own nose may show; your eyes stay uncovered.
  • Pinocchio's nose cannot grow here because the long nose has a fixed shape. Pinocchio costume tips for a school play covers ways to stage the lying scene.

Which nose for which costume

The long nose gives a storybook silhouette, a long tapering profile with a rounded tip, that suits Pinocchio and other long-nosed characters on stage or at Halloween. Its shape is fixed, so it reads the same from every angle of the audience.

The witch nose is the detail that turns a pointed hat and cape into a witch: a crooked, hooked tip with a wart on the bridge. Hat and cape are sold separately; witch costume accessories covers the rest of the look.

The red clown nose is the quickest costume in the box. Pair it with face paint, a wig, a bow tie or oversized shoes for a clown, circus or jester part.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need spirit gum or glue to wear a fake nose?

Not for these. The long nose and the witch nose each have an elastic strap that goes behind the head, and the clown nose ties on with a white string through side holes. That makes them quick to put on and take off between scenes.

Will a fake nose fit a child?

All three are listed for kids and adults. The witch nose's strap stretches to fit many head sizes, and the long nose is meant for supervised dress-up with a trial fitting first. For young children, an adult should fit the strap or string and stay nearby while it is worn.

Is the red clown nose foam or rubber?

Neither. It is a 1.77 in (4.5 cm) molded plastic shell with a glossy red finish that keeps its round shape. Because it is rigid, it does not squeeze onto your nose the way foam does; the string holds it in place.

What comes in the package?

One nose in each case. The long nose is a single skin-tone nose with an elastic strap, the witch nose is a single green nose with a black strap attached (12 g, 0.42 oz), and the clown nose is one red nose with string. Hats, capes and other costume pieces are sold separately.

Which fake nose works for a school play?

Pick by role: the long nose for Pinocchio or another long-nosed storybook part, the witch nose for fairy-tale witches, and the clown nose for circus or jester roles. All three go on quickly with a strap or string, which helps with backstage changes. Clown costume basics covers the rest of a clown look.
