Tips to contour your nose perfectly with make-up!

5 great tips for people who are self-conscious about their nose or feel their nose needs softening.

I’m a make up obsessed mumma that loves to transform people in my spare time. Here are my tips to contour your nose:

Start with a clean face. Apply concealer to the areas of your face that have dark pigment or dark circles. Under eye areas and t-zone and on blemishes.
Apply foundation all over face with a foundation brush.
With a brown colour or a bronzer apply thin layer on a flat contour brush and make two lines from your start of your eyebrow point to the bottom of your nose from the bridge of your nose.
Then with a shaded brush blend the lines until they fade.
This will give the illusion that your nose is thinner.

I keep reading these articles and realise I don’t use make up…..so why am I reading them? I wish I did use make up, I have a huge nose that could use some of these tips to look smaller

hi i really like this post. i was wondering if you could do another post or even share a video of contouring your whole face. i am not so make-up knowledgable lol. i have bronzer which i think is half of it but not the lightening powder or cream that you also use. i think that the way it goes is bronze the stuff that you want to “deepen” and hi-light the stuff that you want brought ‘out” like cheekbones

You can do my makeup anyday! I am lucky if I get some bb cream on before running out the door.

I have only recently started working on contour…it takes a little practice but i think if you work at it then you get there in the end…im starting to feel confident.
