Hey ladies

I want to know how to make my nose look smaller and thinner :)
I watched a lot of tutorials! But if I try it looks crazy. Sometimes to dark or crumpy or there is no different 😄
Hope you can help me!

If it's too dark try using a shade a bit lighter & just keep on blending. Contouring your nose is really all about good blending!😊

Yes blending is key, sometimes the nose contour look can look very fake, so make sure you blend the harsh lines.

I agree with blending. You shouldnt see any sharp lines, it should look natural. Also, I just want to mention that up close in person the differencr won't be major so don't expect a miracle, but in photos it can really make a difference.

What brush are you using? It's ideal to use an angled brush that has a small head to sculpture and then to blend it out using a fluffy blending brush. If you are seeking to slim a wide nose just draw a line down each side of the nose. Have a light hand when applying...it's harder to fix over application of product. If your nose is wide from top to bottom carry the line to the bridge of your nose blending right into the tip of your eyebrow to create a seamless look. With a clean brush take your highlighter of choice and draw a soft stripe down the center of your nose but stop halfway down if the tip of your nose is wide. Taking your fluffy brush blend your lines avoiding blending them together...blend till you can no longer see a defined line. This will give you a more natural look. And patience is vital so don't do this is you are in a rush to get out the door for the day.

I was also told recently to make sure you know the difference between bronzer and contour. Contour has those grey shades so it will actually make things look like they're receding.

To make your nose look thinner you need to apply shader to the sides of your nose & to shorten it apply shader at the tip. Make sure you are using a small brush suitable for blending and a matte bronzer (hula benefit is my fave!) the trick is to do it lightly and blend!

You have to blend. No matter if it's fading, blend. You have to practice plenty of times and test out different shades with cheap products and once you have found a match, go higher end like Mac. Don't be afraid to go dark, because the amount of blending that goes into the process the colour WILL fade.
