Nose prose: how to make your nose look smaller

A perfect outfit, pair of stilettos, a nice hairdo, yet something seems off? Time to get your dream shape of nose with these simple techniques formulated by some help from allwomenstalk.com:

Use darker matt foundation first



When you have a bigger nose, it’s really important that you start with a foundation that is about two shades darker than you typically use. Just place a few lines down from between your eyebrows all the way down the sides of your nose. Make sure that you blend well.

Contour



The next step is contouring. What this means is that you are going to place, over the darker foundation, your typical skin-tone foundation and blend them all together. This is definitely one of the ways on how to make your nose look smaller using make-up.

Matt finish



One of the biggest tips on how to make your nose look smaller is using matt finish make-up. You want to make sure to nix the shine right way. Shine on your nose can actually make your nose look bigger.

Blush



You don’t necessarily have to apply a lot of make-up on your nose to make your nose look smaller; you can use other features, such as your cheeks. Adding in a bit of shimmer blush can actually make your nose look smaller and draw attention to your cheeks instead of your nose. Remember to highlight your cheeks.

Use bronzer



Bronzer is also something that you can use when you’re learning how to make your nose look smaller. Just make sure that you are using a shade that matches your skin tone and that looks natural, that way you can contour your nose a bit.

Lastly use loose powder



Finally ladies, once you get all of the contouring done and you’ve applied all of your foundation, you want to seal it all in with some loose powder. Well, this is how you can nix the shine on your nose!

Shimmery lips



Apply bold and bright colour lipsticks. It will divert all attraction towards your lips and helps draw attention away from your nose. Deep red color lipstick is perfect for it.
