How to make your nose look smaller

Many women say that they feel like they have a big nose and they wish they could make it smaller. Clever use of make up can really help to reduce the appearance of your nose.

Wide nose:

If you have a wide nose, simply use a slightly darker shade of foundation on either side of your nose, but not on the actual bridge of your nose. Make sure that you blend thoroughly, this will appear to slim your nose.

Hooked nose/ prominent bridge:

If you have a large or prominent bridge to your nose, use a slightly darker shade of foundation on down the centre of your nose and blend thoroughly. Blend a little highlighter just under the tip of your nose.

Other tricks for disguising large noses:

Highlight your cheekbones:

 Dab a small amount of highlighter onto the apples of your cheeks and blend thoroughly. This will give the appearance of more prominent cheekbones and soften the look of the nose.

Accentuate your other features:

Try doing dramatic eye make up or smoky eyes, this will draw attention to your eyes and away from your nose.

Lips:

 Bold, striking lips will have everyone looking at your mouth if you are worried about your nose!

Hair:

Avoid hairstyles that are brushed forward onto the face, these will draw attention to the centre of your face.

The most important thing when following the tips below is blending. Make sure that you blend your make up thoroughly, if you don't, you will end up with strange stripes on your face, not a good look!
