Making a Nose Appear Smaller


You can apply blush on each side of your nose which creates a ';shadow'; making the nose appear narrower. You could also only use eyeliner and mascara on your upper eyelids/lashes, which will draw other's eyes upward instead of looking at your nose.





Here are more suggestions:








Another way to make your nose appear smaller, and I do this myself, is to outline the sides of your nose (on the bone) with a white/very light liner or cover stick.





Actually you would make the contour or darker color on the out side of the nose and a highlight or lighter color on the top of the nose.





Use a sheerer foundation, and apply bronzer on top of it: this makes things more natural, and often slimmer.





If you have a long nose apply a small amount of darker blusher/foundation down the middle.





Don't use blusher to contour! Blusher is used to add colour, not shadow! In short: lighter colours highlight and darker colours recede. I use a cream coloured matte eyeshadow to highlight and a pale beige/brown to shade/contour.





More Nose Make-Up Tips





Large nose - apply shader to the nose and then subtly blend. Highlight the surrounding skin and slightly onto the sides of the nose. Keep blusher away from the nose.





Broad nose - shade down each side of the nose taking care not to blend onto the face.





Short nose - apply highlighter down the length of the nose from the bridge to the tip.





Long nose - apply shader to the tip of the nose.





Bump on the nose - apply shader to the bump.





Crooked nose - apply shader to the side that goes out, and highlighter to the side that goes in.


By the way, as with all highlighting and shading - less is more!








Answer


Less is not more when it comes to contouring. Contouring is a very creative way to change the structural look of your face. This is how it works: darker colors appear to receed the area that you put it on, and lighter or light reflecting colors will bring forth the area that you put it on. Do not put a blush on the sides of your nose to make it appear smaller, because all that will do is bring it out. You need a darker color to do the contouring for you. MAC cosmetics sells a contouring powder, but a general rule of thumb is to buy a pressed or loose powder that is about 3 shades darker than your normal skin tone. You will also need the highlighting color which should be about a shade or two lighter than your normal skin tone.





Contouring is something you can really play around with to get vary different looks. Have fun with it.Make up tips for my nose?
You have had your nose your entire life, and you are just noticing the ';puff'; as you say, you need to realize that no one is perfect and the unique things about you are what make you , you. I'm not meaning to sound motherly but you are beautiful the way you are. If you don't like the way you look in pictures from that view just tilt your head or find a new way to take complementary picks of yourself.
cover on it with some foundation or base-cream like thing. :)
