It is not necessary to spend thousands of euros to have a nose operation: it is possible to thin it in various ways. If you want to make a wide nose thinner, you can learn makeup techniques that are targeted to the area in question or that draw attention to other parts of the face.
Steps
Method 1 of 2: Contouring
Step 1. Use a foundation that is a shade darker than your complexion
To contour you will need a foundation, concealer or bronzer that is slightly darker than your skin. Try it on a small part of your face to see if the color is right for your complexion. This way you will make sure that the area you are going to do will not appear too dark or too light.
Step 2. Blend with the right brush
You will need a special brush for each product indicated in the first step. A foundation brush allows you to apply liquid foundations and concealers. An angled or fan brush helps apply bronzer and highlighter powders.
Step 3. Blend the foundation on the sides of the nose
Apply the foundation on both sides of the nose and blend it gently for a natural effect. Don't put it on the bridge of your nose or too close to your cheeks. You can also apply it on the bottom or tip of the nose, it all depends on which parts you want to emphasize.
- If you have a long nose, apply foundation on both sides to shorten it.
- If it is wide, apply the darker foundation to the area under the nostrils to make it appear narrower.
- Also, drag the color into the hollow of the eyes, for a more sculpted and defined effect.
Step 4. Brighten up with a lighter foundation
By lightly illuminating the nose, the contouring will be complete and perfect. Choose a foundation two or three tones lighter than your complexion, then apply it on the bridge of the nose and, if you like, on the browbone.
For best thinning, apply the highlighter only on the bridge, do not touch the rest of the nose
Method 2 of 2: Other Changes
Step 1. Apply a vibrant and intense lipstick
If the size of your nose makes you uncomfortable, drawing attention to the lips can help you look away from this area. Red or dark lipsticks will draw attention to the mouth, away from the nose.
Step 2. Apply the blush to your cheeks
Start on the side of the nose and work your way up the cheekbone towards the eye. This will draw attention to the cheeks and eyes, rather than the nose.
Step 3. Apply eyeliner and mascara to draw attention to the eyes
Combined with the others, this trick can divert attention from an important nose. You don't have to overdo it, just a simple mascara and dark eyeliner to get an intense and sophisticated effect.
Step 4. Apply concealer to any imperfections in the nose, so that they do not draw further attention to its size
Pimples and other impurities can make your nose stand out even more.
Step 5. Part the side and style your hair
If you pull your hair back and part it sideways or style it asymmetrically, people will tend to linger on the sides of the face, rather than the center. This also helps to distract attention from the size of the nose.
Step 6. Make up your eyebrows
This step is very important for any makeup you want to do. If you define them by bringing them slightly closer, the nose will immediately look much thinner than before.
Step 7. Keep your head up in the photos
If you bend it back and hold it high, the nose will seem smaller, while if you point your chin down it will have the opposite effect. This is also true in everyday life. Walk with your head held high!
