How to perfectly contour your nose

Contouring your nose can be a great way to enhance its shape and create the illusion of a more sculpted and balanced appearance. Here’s Aura Make-Up Expert step-by-step guide to help you perfectly contour your nose:

Step 1: Gather your tools

Contour product: Choose a matte contour powder, cream, or stick that is about 1-2 shades darker than your natural skin tone. Avoid using shimmer or highlighter for contouring, as it will draw attention to the areas you want to recede.
Highlighter: Choose a light, matte shade or concealer that is 1-2 shades lighter than your skin tone for highlighting.
Step 2: Prep your face
Start with a clean and moisturized face. You can apply your regular foundation or base makeup before contouring.

Step 3: Identify the areas to contour
Look at your nose in the mirror and identify the areas you want to contour. Common areas to contour on the nose include the sides of the bridge, the tip, and the nostrils. The exact areas you contour will depend on your nose shape and the effect you want to achieve.

Step 4: Apply the contour
Using a small, angled brush or a contour brush, apply the contour product along the areas you identified in Step 3. For the sides of the bridge, start from the inner corner of your eyebrows and extend the contour lines downwards, stopping before reaching the tip of your nose. Blend the contour lines using a blending brush or your fingertip to avoid harsh lines.

Step 5: Contour the tip of your nose
To contour the tip of your nose, apply a small amount of contour product to the rounded tip and blend it slightly upwards.

Step 6: Contour the nostrils
For a more defined look, you can contour the sides of your nostrils. Apply a small amount of contour product to the sides of the nostrils and blend carefully.

Step 7: Highlight
Take the highlighting product or concealer and apply it down the center of your nose. Start from the area between your eyebrows and extend it down to the tip of your nose. This will accentuate the center of your nose and create the illusion of a slimmer, more elongated shape.

Step 8: Blend
Blend the contour and highlight products carefully to ensure a seamless and natural finish. Use a clean blending brush or a damp makeup sponge to soften any harsh lines.

Step 9: Set your makeup
If desired, set your contour and highlight with a light dusting of translucent powder to ensure it stays in place throughout the day.
