Contouring has become a popular makeup technique that can transform your face shape, highlighting your features and creating a more balanced appearance. One of the key areas people often want to contour is their nose. By strategically applying makeup, you can create the illusion of a shorter nose. Here are some tips to help you achieve that desired result.

What You’ll Need

  • Foundation
  • Concealer
  • Contour powder or matte bronzer
  • Highlighter
  • Small blending brush
  • Fluffy blending brush
  • Setting powder

Step 1: Prep Your Face

Start by applying your regular foundation all over your face, ensuring an even base. Once you’ve done that, apply a concealer that matches your skin tone to any areas of discoloration or blemishes.

Step 2: Choose the Right Contour Shade

The key to achieving a shorter-looking nose is finding the right contour shade. Look for a contour powder or matte bronzer that is one to two shades darker than your natural skin tone. This will create the illusion of shadows, making your nose appear shorter.

Step 3: Apply Contour to the Sides of Your Nose

Using a small blending brush, apply the contour powder along the sides of your nose. Start from the inner corners of your eyebrows and blend downwards towards the tip of your nose. Remember to blend well to create a seamless effect.

Step 4: Highlight the Bridge of Your Nose

To further enhance the illusion, highlight the bridge of your nose using a lighter shade concealer or highlighter. Apply the product in a thin strip down the center of your nose and blend it out using your fingers or a small blending brush.

Step 5: Set Your Makeup

Once you’re satisfied with the contouring and highlighting, set your makeup with a setting powder. This will help your makeup last longer and prevent any smudging or fading.

Final Thoughts

Contouring your nose can be a game-changer in your makeup routine. With the right techniques and products, you can easily achieve a shorter-looking nose. Remember to practice and experiment to find the best contouring approach for your unique face shape. So go ahead and give it a try!
