Q&A for How to Make Your Nose Look Smaller

I bet there's nothing wrong with your nose; kids are just mean sometimes and say stuff like that to mask their own insecurities. Don't let them make you sad; just keep being your beautiful self.

Yes, it is totally fine to use makeup regardless of your gender.

Your face may possibly continue to change as you get older, especially as your weight fluctuates. For a quick fix though, you can always contour your nose with makeup to make it appear smaller.

If you're only 12, try contouring the bridge and sides of your nose. Don't worry too much about what other people say and focus on yourself, absolutely everyone has something they get picked on about. Try to talk to your parents about your concerns, they might have some advice that will make you feel better. They will want to help! And keep in mind that you're very young and your face will continue to change over time.

Nose contouring sounds like a good option for you. Don't focus on what negative people say, focus on the people who value your natural beauty.

No. Trust me, no one notices your nose nearly as much as you do.

Try different angles and see which ones or one you like the most and stick with it. It could even become your signature pose in pictures. Or you could use filters that can blur out your nose.

Our flaws are what make us unique. Your nose gives you character. You can always opt for plastic surgery, but learning to accept and celebrate yourself the way you were made is a much healthier, cheaper, and ultimately more satisfying route. Don't let impossible beauty standards control your life and sense of self worth.

Try to keep your nostrils more closed by sucking in air through them while you smile. It's probably not nearly as noticeable to others as it is to you, though, so ask a close friend if they see what you do.

You just need to be confident. If they like you, they won't be dissuaded by the way your nose looks from the side. You are probably the only one who notices anything different about it anyway.

Eleven years old is a little young to be thinking about a nose job. When you're older, you may find you've grown into your nose. If not, you'll be old enough to use makeup.

He was probably just teasing you. Laugh it off. If he says something like that again, let him know that you find it hurtful.

Point your face slightly down and look up. Not only will it help your problem it will make you look shy but cute.

I would give eyeliner and mascara a try. Also add a bright color to your eyelids and cheek bones, this will make your eyes have a bold effect and your nose look smaller.

If you're old enough, you could always opt for plastic surgery, but I don't think that's a good idea. Embrace the nose you were born with! Contouring can help some, but it's best to just not think about it. Just smile and be kind and let your beauty shine through.

I don't think so, but you could always use a little bit of concealer to cover up any freckles.

Pressing your nose is not going to have any effect on the shape of your nose, so you are wasting your time. You can't change the actual shape or size of your nose except with plastic surgery. You can only make it look different using makeup.

If you aren't willing to use things to alter the shape of your nose, either surgically or visually, there's not much else you can do. You may as well embrace your natural nose shape.

Accept the nose God gave you. Or, if you really can't, risk other people's judgment. There isn't an easy answer.

Makeup can give you an illusion of a different shape, but won't actually change your nose.

No, your nose will not get smaller, but the rest of your face and features may fill out so your nose looks proportional.

I know plenty of guys who wear makeup! If you can apply and blend nose correctly, it won't even look like you're wearing any makeup.

A nose ring will draw attention to your nose. But it is totally up to you and what you choose to do!

Try contouring your nose! There are many videos how to do it on YouTube, and it is super easy! Remember, you are beautiful.

Well, you aren't allowed to wear makeup, so maybe use cocoa powder as bronzer to make your nose seem smaller. That technically isn't makeup. If you need a brush, use a clean, preferably brand new paint brush. Just make sure to get the right size and shape. Also, if you get teased about it, laugh it off, make a joke about it, and accept your flaw. Whomever is teasing you will probably stop once they see they won't get a negative reaction out of you. But if it gets serious, and you feel like you're being bullied, talk to an adult who can help.

Wait until you're 18 and then you can get it on your own without parental permission. If your parents are anything like mine, there's no way they'll let you get any tattoos or plastic surgery. Educate yourself on rhinoplasty (nose surgery), then talk to your parents about it.

You could try to find a makeup product that you aren't allergic to -- try finding "hypoallergenic" products -- but if not then there's nothing much you can really do unless you get plastic surgery.

No. The only way to make your nose thinner is through plastic surgery or by using makeup to temporarily change its appearance.

No, picking your nose does not make it bigger.

Try contouring correctly. A key part of making it seem like you have a small nose is using the right brush when contouring.
