How to Contour Your Nose

When it comes to nose contour, all nose shapes are welcome. With the right application you can adapt your contour to suit your nose perfectly.

Depending on your nose shape, you must apply your contour slightly differently to get the desired effect!

When applied correctly, a combination of the contour and highlighter creates light and shade in just the right places to give a super realistic, chiselled finish.

3-Step Nose Contouring Tutorial

Master the art of nose contour with our step-by-step guide:

Step 1 – It’s simple! Grab your contour stick and draw two lines either side of your nose, starting at the inner corner of your eyebrow all the way to the tip of the nose.

Expert Tip: The placement of these lines can be adapted to achieve your desired look. Whether that’s to narrow, shorten or straighten nose, the possibilities are endless.

Step 2 – Blend these lines using a small Makeup Revolution Create Eye Bright Concealer Brush to keep the product in the right areas.

Step 3 – Apply the highlighter with a Relove Brush Queen Pigment Blending Brush, down the bridge of the nose to create light and shade, – this is the key for the most realistic effect.

Expert Tip: Ensure you select a nose contour shade that is natural against your skin tone. We recommend going no more than two shades darker than your foundation.

Remember, a little goes a long way! Start with applying the product sparingly and build up to avoid harsh lines.

How to Contour a Different Nose Shapes?

This process largely remains the same for each nose shape, just tailor the placement of your contour lines to achieve your desired look.

To narrow the nose:

Draw the contour lines closer together than the lines of your natural nose.

To shorten the nose:

Focus on the tip of the nose. Apply the contour shade onto the very tip of the nose and moving just under the tip, to create the best illusion.

To straighten an uneven nose:

To create a straight shape, ensure you contour two parallel lines down the centre of the nose, try not to follow the natural line for the best results. Draw a line of concealer down the sides of the nose to highlight the new shape you’ve created.

And that’s all of our tips and tricks on how to master the art of nose contour.
