I've never heard the word "become" used with this phrase. It's usually a state of being, such as "he's all nose", "she's all forehead", or "their kids are all ears". It simply means that that feature is larger than average and is, therefore, prominent.

When we used it about 25 years ago it someone who was in a nosey or butting into someones business mode. All nose meant poking it where it did not belong. All forehead was a reference to the disapperance of hair.

I've heard the term "all forehead" before ... take a look at my avatar and you'll easily guess the meaning. "All nose", presumably, means a person has a ski hill for nostrils ...
