  • Question
    I am really cute but I have a big nose and I get laughed at. What do I do?
    Community Answer
    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.
  • Question
    If I am a male and want a smaller nose, is it okay for me to use makeup on it?

    Yes, it is totally fine to use makeup regardless of your gender.
  • Question
    I'm a teenager who gets made fun of for my nose. Will my face change any more?
    Community Answer
    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.
  • Question
    I look pretty, but I have a big nose which people make fun of me. I really want rhinoplasty but I'm scared to tell my parents. I'm only 12, how can I tell them?
    Community Answer
    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.

    Is there a way to get it straighter without surgery or make up?

    No. Trust me, no one notices your nose nearly as much as you do.
  • Question
    My nose, especially the nostrils, look so fat whenever I try to take a selfie. I am only 11, and my mother won't let me wear makeup. What can I do to make my nose look smaller so I can take a selfie?
    Community Answer
    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.
  • Question
    My nose is kinda big and it makes me look ugly. What can I do about it?
    Community Answer
    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.
  • Question
    What can I do to keep my nostrils from flaring when I smile?
    Community Answer
    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.
  • Question
    My nose looks fine from the front, but it looks big from the side. I sit across from my crush, and I feel like I can't look sideways. What should I do?
    Community Answer
    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.
  • Question
    My mum probably won't let me wear that make up and would go crazy if I asked for a nose job. I'm eleven years old. What can I do?

    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.
  • Question
    My boy friend call my nose big. What do I do?
    Community Answer
    He was probably just teasing you. Laugh it off. If he says something like that again, let him know that you find it hurtful.
  • Question
    Whenever I smile my nose looks fat, what should I do?

    Point your face slightly down and look up. Not only will it help your problem it will make you look shy but cute.
  • Question
    I want to change my eyes, they are so small. I'm only 11 so my mom says it's a bad idea. What do I do?
    Community Answer
    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.
  • Question
    My nose looks fine, but my nostrils are too large. What should I do?
    Community Answer
    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.
  • Question
    Will freckles be a problem when contouring my nose?
    Community Answer
    I don't think so, but you could always use a little bit of concealer to cover up any freckles.
  • Question
    I am pressing my nose every morning. Is it good or bad?
    Community Answer
    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.
  • Question
    Hi I can't do plastic surgery and I don't use makeup. What should I do?
    Community Answer
    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.
  • Question
    I really want to get a nose job, but I cannot go into school with splints or bruises of fear of being judged. What should I do?
    Community Answer
    Accept the nose God gave you. Or, if you really can't, risk other people's judgment. There isn't an easy answer.
  • Question
    Can you use color and highlights to change the shape of your nose?
    Community Answer
    Makeup can give you an illusion of a different shape, but won't actually change your nose.
  • Question
    I am only 12, and my nose is big. Will it be able to get smaller when I grow up?
    Community Answer
    No, your nose will not get smaller, but the rest of your face and features may fill out so your nose looks proportional.
  • Question
    Guys don't really do makeup and a nose job isn't an option at this time, any ideas? My nose is actually really large to the point it's a huge insecurity.

    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.

    Can I get a nose ring to make the size of my nose look smaller?

    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.
  • Question
    I'm not allowed to wear makeup, and I've got a small face and a big nose. One eye is usually covered by my bangs, and my lips are really nice, but what should I do for my nose? I get teased about it.
    Emily C
    Community Answer
    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.
  • Question
    I feel really self conscious about my nose, but my mother says that I have my grandfather's nose and that I should be proud of it. How do I tell her that I want to get a nose job? I'm 15.

    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.
  • Question
    I want a smaller nose, but I'm allergic to most makeup products and plastic surgery is not a good option for me. What do I do?
    Community Answer
    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.
  • Question
    Can nose exercises make your nose thinner?

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