Before and After Contouring The Nose
What To Use
A brown eyeshadow or contour powder that is one shade or two darker than your skin tone. Make sure you use a matte/satin formula for the most natural effect. You can also use a cream foundation or concealer.
You can use Smashbox Step-by-step Contour Kit or MAC Pro Sculpt and Shape powders available in any department stores!Where To Apply
Remember light colors will highlight features, emphasize and make them larger/more prominent, while dark colors will shade, create shadow, minimize, reduce/recede features and create the illusion of depth.
To make your nose appear taller and more slender, you want to place the contouring color along the sides of the nose and the highlighting color on the bridge.
MAC makeup senior artist Victor C also recommends applying a brown eyeshadow (he loves MAC Soft Brown Eyeshadow) on the crease and dragging it towards the inner corner right by the nose to create the illusion of a higher bridge.
For those with really dark skin tones, beauty guru Sam Fine has this tip: Instead of applying a darker color on already dark-colored skin, you lighten the surrounding areas to create the illusion of depth.
