How to Contour Your Nose_ 10 Tips and Products for Every Nose Shape

Not every nose is the same. If you’re wondering “How do I contour for my nose shape?” we’ve got you covered with these 7 tips for every nose shape!

Contouring for a Flat Nose
If the bridge of your nose appears flat or undefined, you probably have a flat nose. To give it more definition, contour in two straight lines on either side of the bridge. This will give the illusion of a more sculpted bone structure.

Contouring for a Triangle-Shaped Nose
Triangle-shaped noses are wider at the nostrils and thinner at the top. Balance out your nose by contouring the tip of your nose and applying highlighter under the inner corner of your eyebrows.

Contouring for a Crooked Nose
If you have a crooked nose (a nose that appears uneven or slightly slanted rather than following a straight line), contour a straight line on both sides of the bridge and apply highlighter in the middle.

Contouring for a Bulbous Nose
Bulbous noses have a thin bridge and wide set nostrils. In this case, you can contour the top and bottom of your nose and apply highlighter to the centre of the bridge.

Contouring for an Irregular Nose
If you have a small indentation on one of the sides of your nose bridge, you probably have what’s referred to as an irregular nose. Apply highlighter to the indented area to combat any shadows.

Contouring for a Heavy Nose
Heavy noses feature a heavy brow that creates a shadow over the bridge of the nose. To brighten and lift this area, apply highlighter in an upside down triangle shape between your eyebrows.

Contouring for a Narrow Nose
If you have a narrow nose, you may actually want your nose to appear a bit thicker. You can do this with contouring! Highlight in two straight lines on either side of the bridge of your nose to add thickness to the bridge!
