    Learning how to wiggle your nose will be easier if you can see yourself as you’re practicing. If you can’t see yourself, you won’t be able to know whether you’re doing it right or not.

    You don’t need to move your face to wiggle your nose. If you catch yourself moving your cheeks, eyebrows, or lips when you’re trying to wiggle your nose, that’s OK. Just try again and work on keeping your face still. [1]

    It should feel like you’re pulling your nose down toward your mouth. When you relax your face, your nose should go back up into place. If you’re having trouble, try stretching your top lip down over your front teeth. Watch how your nose pulls down a little bit. Keep practicing like that until you’re able to move your nose down without stretching your lip. [2]
    • Don’t worry if you can’t get it right away. Moving your nose up and down takes practice.

    Use the same motion you used to move both nostrils up and down before, but this time focus on one side of your nose. If you’re having a hard time doing it, hold one of your nostrils in place with your fingers while you move the other one up and down. Practice like that until you can move one of your nostrils down without using your fingers. [3]
  5. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/b\/b4\/Wiggle-Your-Nose-Step-5-Version-2.jpg\/v4-460px-Wiggle-Your-Nose-Step-5-Version-2.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/b\/b4\/Wiggle-Your-Nose-Step-5-Version-2.jpg\/aid9141959-v4-728px-Wiggle-Your-Nose-Step-5-Version-2.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Move your left nostril down and keep your right nostril in place. Then, move your right nostril down while your left nostril goes back up. As you’re alternating between nostrils, you should see your nose wiggling. The more you practice, the faster you’ll be able to wiggle your nose!
    • Don’t give up if you can’t wiggle your nose. Keep practicing in front of the mirror until you’re able to do it!

    Close your mouth so your lips are touching. Then, slightly purse your lips and quickly move them back and forth from left to right. As you move your lips, your nose should wiggle back and forth. [4]

    Flare your nostrils out and then relax your nose so they go back in. Continue to do this quickly so it looks like your nose is wiggling back and forth. [5]

    First, puff up your left cheek with air. Then, relax your left cheek and puff up your right cheek. Continue doing this quickly and your nose will wiggle back and forth.
