Shaping the Nose

Makeup can do wonders, it can even change the shape of your nose!

- Broad Nose. Use a foundation that is one shade darker than your natural skintone. Sweep along the sides of the nose with a small, firm makeup brush. Start just below the inner corners of the eyebrows, and end at the sides of the nostrils. Stroke a lighter shade of foundation down the bridge of the nose. Blend well.

- Flat Nose. Apply highlight down the center of the nose, avoiding the sides. Smooth and blend down the center.

- Narrow Nose. Sweep concealer that's slightly darker than your natural skintone down the centre of your nose. Then use a lighter shade on the sides of your nose and nostrils.

- Long Nose. Apply a foundation or concealer that is a few shades darker than your natural skintone onto the tip, between and around the nostrils.

- Crooked Nose. Apply two straight lines down the center of the nose. Follow with a lighter foundation on the concave area(the hollow, curved, rounded area). Apply a darker foundation on the convex area (protruding outward)
