The perfect beauty tool.Īfter doing your final blend with your brush (or even taking your finger to warm up and move around any stubborn product) you can be DONE with your natural looking sculpt job!! Clap Clap Clap!! STEP #3 : EXTRA STEP – ADDITIONAL HIGHLIGHTING It Cosmetics Je Ne Sais Quoi palette + a Qtip. Continue onto buffing down the sides of the nose with the darker shades until they seamlessly blend into your foundation. Now is when I like to switch down to a fluffier concealer brush.īlend down the lightest shades first into the skin, then wiping off again this brush with a tissue. Obviously the darker you go, the more defined your nose will look, and the if you’re on the lighter end of dark, it will be more subtle. Start up towards the inner corner area of your eye and then draw straight down each side of your nose and wrap the end/tip of the nose with the darker shade as well. I used the lightest dark one (if that makes sense!) on the far left of this palette. Now you’ll be receding the side areas of the nose with a darker shade. *Side note : I mixed the 2nd lightest shade + yellow from this palette bc my nose tends to go a bit red, and the yellow helps to tone that down.*Īfter the light shade is applied, I will wipe off my flat brush with a tissue to get any remaining light product off, then go onto dipping into a darker shade for the next step.

Contour cream palette, a thin flat concealer brush for defining, and a fluffy concealer brush for buffing out. I use a thin flat shaped concealer brush that allows for precise application of both the lighter and the darker. I like to take mine to the end for lengthening OR you can stop it just short of the tip if you like a shorter nose with just slight definition. You’ll take your light shade down the bride of your nose in a thin line. (the Anastasia one I photographed in this post is sold out, so the LORAC is the most similar)

#Dramatic nose contour how to
Here are a few easy steps to show you how to sculpt your sniffer… The second level is to add one more step the to the first level by adding a actual highlighter powder on top of your cream contour for a little extra oomph + definition!.But this is completely personal, so if you are more comfortable with powders, go for it.) (I like creams bc they seem to blend easier and look more realistic than powder kits. First is with just a cream contour kit, shown above with nose defined.There are TWO levels of contour I’ll share. It seems tricky but it doesn’t have to be. I’m going to show you how I slim down one of the most asked features for my clients, and that is THE NOSE. They have to do it heavier on those platforms so that the result is more dramatic so it shows up on their cameras.īut the key to contouring in real life – is for no one to KNOW that you contoured! And it is possible to get a sculpted slimmer looking facial feature with a realistic subtle finish.

I have to remind people that those complicated heavy contouring jobs you see people doing on YouTube and Insta, actually look pretty gnarly and obvious in person. Now I know there’s lots of insane contouring tutorials out there in internet land, but this isn’t going to be one of them. We’ve all got our “thing” when it comes to our faces don’t we?

But from the front, to me, I always want it to look a teeny bit thinner and more sculpted. My kids always tell me that I have a nose built like a SKI SLOPE…but they say it in the most loving way:) And yes, from the side, my nose looks super pointy and thin (got it from my mama).
