Long nose: how to make it visually smaller? Video Tips
If you are worried that your nose seems too long to others, try to visually reduce it by resorting to some makeup tricks. Skillful use of foundation and other decorative cosmetics, you can reduce the length or width of the nose.
How to reduce a long nose with makeup?
To begin with, you should purchase corrective agents of various shades, since with the help of the play of color and light, the desired length and shape of the nose is sculpted. It’s best to opt for a few foundations or liquid concealers that are lighter or match your natural skin tone.
Before you start applying makeup products, do the following:
- wash your face with mild soap
- wipe it with tonic
- apply matting cream
With these precautionary steps, you can get rid of the oily sheen that comes through, which can ruin the finest corrective makeup and negate your efforts.
Apply foundation all over your face using a makeup brush or sponge. Now proceed to correct the length and shape of the nose.
It is important to remember that in makeup, dark tones significantly reduce volume, while light tones increase
For a long nose to visually look shorter, it should appear somewhat wider. To do this, apply a lighter foundation on the side of your nose than on the rest of your face. You can use blush along the sides of your nose. Apply a darker foundation on the bridge of the nose.
On the nasal septum between the nostrils and to the tip of the nose, apply a foundation or powder 1-2 shades darker than the main complexion. This technique will also help if the tip of the nose is bent downward. Owners of a long and wide nose can correct this combination with a dark powder. To do this, apply it to the sides and base of the nose.
If you want to thin your nose, apply a dark tone to the wings of the nose, and a lighter tone to the bridge of the nose and back.
The tone transitions should be smooth and almost imperceptible so that they look as natural as possible. To do this, use a makeup sponge: moisten it with water, remove excess foundation. Then you should apply the powder. It will seal the makeup result and prevent it from dripping.
