Q&A for How to Contour Your Nose

Beginning with a contour brush, start where your eyebrows begin and work the contour down just on the side of your nose, like the side of the bridge. Go all the way down to your nostrils, then round it off on the tip. Blend that through, then put a lighter color right on the center and a little on the tip of your nose, and blend it again.
