Tips for a Perfect Nose Contour
Let’s talk about that one area of our face that we’re always just a teensy bit self-conscious about. You know, the one that sticks out, right in the middle? If you guessed nose, well you’re right on the… well, you get it!
We’re here to say that your nose is just as beautiful as the rest of you, even if you’re not 100% happy with it! While our noses aren’t exactly as expressive as the rest of our features, they are one of the most important elements of our face. Your nose defines your silhouette, and determines how our other features play together.
Today we’re giving a refresher course in nose contouring. Like faces, noses come in so many lengths, tips and shapes, and that means a variety of techniques to try out. Keep reading below to find out how to go about nose contour for the four major nose types, and if you’re already contouring your nose you might also discover a tip or two for an even sexier snout.
6 Tips for How to Contour Your Nose
#1: When it comes to nose contouring, you’ll live and die by your tools. Nothing botches a nose contour job faster than using a brush that’s too small, or a sponge that’s too large. So no matter what glam you’re ready to give, just make sure your tools are proportionate to your features!
When picking brushes for nose contour: if you want the appearance of a smaller, sharper, or tighter nose, go for brushes with smaller tips and more angled bristles. For soft, more blown out or enhanced looks, use tools with fluff to blur all the lines for a dreamier effect.
#2: Always start with your base products on; there won’t be the chance to add them after contour without ruining your work.
While creams tend to be harder to work with, they’re much more complimentary for dry to normal skin types. For anyone with an oily T-zone, we recommend playing it safe and contouring with powder. This will prevent unnecessary shine later on, and deliver a more believable result. Just make sure to set all your work areas with translucent powder before adding any nose contour on top.
