Expert Answer

This is a contouring discussion and when you're contouring, you want to think about highs and lows. What do you want to highlight and what do I want to hide? If you want your nose to appear slimmer, I recommend applying the highlight on the side of your nose. Next, take your contouring makeup and contour the bridge and the tip of your nose to make the bridge of it look less long. This contour will draw the eyes outward, taking your eyes from left to right, not up and down. This is what you want if you're trying to make your longer profile shorter or smaller.

Question

How do I know if I have an upturned nose?

Community Answer

An upturned nose can be big in some cases, and at the end of the nose, it is turned up. You also can see more of the nostrils than with other noses.

How do I straighten my nose?

Get nose surgery or see a doctor, because you may have a broken nose or it may just be your shape.

Question

I like my snub nose and think it's cute. Is it wrong that I don't want to hide it? Will people judge me?

Community Answer

It's not at all wrong that you don't want to hide it! It doesn't matter what people think, but even if they do judge you, it will be a good judgement because you're comfortable and confident in your own skin. Besides, snub noses are definitely cute!
