NOSE CONTOURING: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

23 comments
I feel as if even the people that don't follow me on Instagram but just read my blog will really enjoy this one (don't look so guilty ;)). It's that one blog post that I spill ALL. My pet peeve is when I see obvious nose contour! As a perfectionist, harsh contour really irks me. I don't know if people know that they are doing it or are intentionally going for the drag queen contour? not that there's anything wrong with drag queen makeup, If you like it then that's ok. Each to their own.



If that's the look you're not going for then read on! I'm going to explain my knowledge on nose contouring as much as I can and I will include diagrams to show you. Many of you reading this have either a bulbous nose, hook, slight hook, drooping tip, wide bridge, crooked from the front, long, short...which ever shape you have there is ways to make it less prominent. I'm not a surgeon so I won't promise perfect results...just enough for it to look smaller? defined? Yes.

Some of you, like my sister Sonia might be blessed with a perfect sloped nose and others may have decided to choose to go under the knife and try rhinoplasty which is a personal preference. Some may fear of being unconscious and having their nose broken and reshaped. That's where contouring comes in (woohoo!)

The first thing to remember when contouring is: THE MORE YOU SHADE THE MORE OBVIOUS IT WILL LOOK! I see women in real life and all over social media and I am automatically drawn to the middle of their face because the contouring is either too harsh, too orange or too muddy making the nose look more prominent and masculine. 

The contour shade you choose for your nose must be lighter than the one you use for your cheeks and the rest of your face. Whether you're using cream or powder it always has to be a cool tone. Cool tones mimic the natural contours and shadows of the face. ORANGE IS A NO!

STOP following the contour pictures you see on IG, everyone's nose is different and seeing the same contour and highlight on everyone's nose bothers me.

HERE WE GO.

1. If you have a wide bridge concentrate on shading out the darker areas of this diagram and then connect with the sides of the nostrils. This is best done with a cream contour. It will take some practice before you perfect it.

-------------------


2. You want to make your nose appear shorter but a little wider too. down your nose use a concealer that's three shades lighter after that apply the contour shade. Concentrate on the tips and the sides of the nose. Blend well is a 224 brush by MAC until seamless. 


------------------------


3. STOP highlighting all the way down, you only need the tip highlighted. Shade out the bump, like shown in diagram. 


---------------------------




4. Common mistake I see all the time. If you have a dent why make it look more obvious by adding darkness to it? Opt for the lighter concealer in this area. Don't worry it won't look funny, it's all about blending it well. 


--------------------------------


5. Use a flat concealer brush to apply cream contour for precision, follow where the light grey colour on the diagram. You want to stop where I have put the black line. Use a powder or a white eyeshadow in the centre, making sure it's a thin line. Buff and blend with any small blending brush.


Best done over your foundation because it shows more but not too obvious. the key is to blend. I took so much time out to do these images. It's pretty simple to follow the pictures that's why there's less description. Be patient and practice. I'm not promising miracles but it's a difference. 

Conquer that contour! wooop!

Fyza xoxo

  1. Thank you for this detailed post. I'm new to contouring, and most tutorials I've seen or read have a one size fits all approach. From the few nose tutorials that are out there, I haven't found one who gives advice of how to contour/highlight the tip of the nose if your nostrils are fully visible when staring straight ahead. The only You Tuber I have seen doing contouring that has this nose type is Lucy Garland. Unfortunately for me, she only does drag makeup, so on her contouring video she makes her nose more upturned resulting in commenters saying she looks like Michael Jackson. That is not the look I'm going for. With this type of nose, should I just contour the bridge and ignore highlighting or contouring the tip altogether? Thank you.

  10. Yeah please do NOT highlight the tip if you have a droopy nose. Highlighting won’t create the illusion of being more uplifted, it just projects the droopy tip outward as the center focose and draws more attention to it.

Plastic Surgeon in Mumbai Thank you for this amazing article! It is always very interesting to read the views of fellow surgeons. I will definitely come back to read more topics :).If you're under 18, you would need parental consent for plastic surgery. However, we typically recommend that your body has fully matured before you consider undergoing any kind of surgery, which usually occurs anywhere between 18 and 21 years of age.
