Almost every girl uses makeup, it always helps them out: when you don’t get enough sleep, you urgently need to run to a party with friends and you need to look stunning, on a date, at special events. Any modern lady is interested in various makeup techniques and follows the advice of stylists. However, you don’t always want to “decorate” in order to pleasantly surprise yourself and those around you. And right! It is enough to have a few tools on hand to hide the flaws. This article will focus on how to use makeup to reduce the nose and emphasize other advantages of appearance.

So, the main thing correctly is that you need to accurately imagine what you need to visually make smaller or enlarge, make it shorter (nose), longer (eyebrow line), change shape (nose, eyes, chin). The spectrum is very diverse. Contouring allows you to hide imperfections, change the face. The same beauty with different make-up, made in different techniques (not to mention the hairstyle) will look completely different.And this is wonderful, because there is an opportunity to always look special: tender, passionate, fatal, sweet, while remaining natural.

Previously, contouring was used by make-up artists in films.. The fact is that spotlights make the face flat and monotonous, turning the actor into a lifeless doll. Makeup artists, having played with technique, color and tools, were able to come up with a solution. The basic rule is very simple: everything that you want to leave invisible should be made dark, and everything else should be brightened. This play of shadow and light allows you to emphasize all the advantages, leaving the flaws unnoticed.

Changing your face can always happen through cosmetics, avoiding plastic surgery. It’s also good that you can develop good skills as a makeup artist, ideally “study” your face, and also save most of the finances, which is also very nice.

To make the nose narrower, to correct the line of the face or to reduce the lips - this is possible thanks to cosmetics that can be selected for any type and skin tone. And for this painless "operation" you will need only two colors, brushes and a little time and patience. Sometimes you don't even need an application plan. If a girl knows her face well, understands the shortcomings and virtues, then the main rule is to darken the unwanted, brighten the virtues.

First you need to decide what kind of correction of the shape of the nose is needed, what needs to be corrected, and only then choose the correct execution technique.

To visually narrow the nose, to make it almost doll-like, you need to apply a dark bronzer or tone on the side parts along the entire length, including on the wings of the nose, with a medium brush with an oblique angle, and distribute a light shade, tone or highlighter on the middle part of the nose. The tip of the nose will appear sharper. The width of the light line depends on how wide the nose should be. Nobody canceled the experiment, but in order to avoid spoiled makeup, you need to carefully shade all the boundaries, then everything will be perfect.

Slightly shading the tip, you can a little increase the length of the nose. The reduction in the nose will be obvious. The main thing is to shade everything in order to evenly correct the tone without spots. This technique is also suitable for changing the "potato". Just do not overdo it, otherwise a dark spot will “grow” on the face, which can ruin all the makeup. Here is a simple way to narrow the snub nose.

If the length does not suit you at all, then visually reduce long nose a similar application technique will help. First of all, you need to draw a light powder or highlighter in the center in one line. We frame the light line with a dark base, carefully enclosing the light powder in the contour, right up to the tip. The main thing is to draw a dark horizontal line from the wings of the nose, leaving the tip light, which will visually reduce the length of the nose. Then gently blend and once again walk with light powder in the center, highlighting the neat nose.

Easy to make up and hump nose. After applying a tinting agent that corrects the skin of the face, a dark tone-powder or bronzer should be applied to the hump. It will hide the bumps, which will give a softer shape. And on the wings of the nose and the tip, you need to apply a light base, which will favorably emphasize all the advantages. The final touch is always shading. Graceful nose is ready to go!

Contouring will help correct even injured nosewithout resorting to painful surgery. To do this, you need to draw an even light line in the center relative to the vertical of the entire face. For a more understandable approach, you need to attach a pen or ruler exactly straight. Convex parts (trauma, curvature) darken with cosmetics. Visually, there will be a decrease in the partition. As always, carefully and gently blend. The same technique will help when correcting certain parts, for example, too wide wings or bulkheads.

Another key point is that you need to use the same palettes as on other parts of the face. Otherwise, the nose can be the brightest spot in all makeup.

Savings is not a quality that should be applied to cosmetics. First of all, the funds must be of high quality and, by the way, not necessarily expensive. When applying the foundation before the contour, it is important that it is not shimmery, but matte. For contouring, you will need 3 tools - for the base, for the highlight and the contour. The main thing is that the shades fit the skin type, you do not need to choose the lightest shade or the darkest one, going to extremes.It is enough to have 1-2 tones lighter / darker than a suitable option, with which you can easily hide a wide nose or large wings.

You can experiment with the basics, choosing a powder, tone or highlighter. They differ in texture and method of application. For sculptural makeup, it is better to choose a dry base. It is more mobile on the face, easy to work with and correct boundaries. For the foundation, you can use a creamy tone, which will facilitate the application and smoothing of the skin.

For daytime makeup it is better to choose a light, light powder that ideally “makes” a thin nose. The highlighter should not be too shimmery, with bright and large "pearls". Makeup artists also advise using a highlighter that can “remove” problem areas. Its texture is denser than that of powder, so you need to be careful to highlight the dignity of your face. It is better to use shades slightly lighter than the main skin tone, which will give naturalness and high cost.

Makeup artists advise avoiding gray and too light shades. Bronzer is used to shorten the length or vice versa, visually lengthen. It is necessary to avoid unnecessary orange particles, and go to a noble brown, using shades that are colder. You can experiment with colors, palettes, textures, most importantly, not on the evening of the premiere. And it is better to check all the products in a separate place so as not to spoil the makeup.

There are many brands with decent quality on the cosmetics market now. For example, MAC and Hills offer a diverse range of cosmetics - from palettes to individual cosmetics.And the brands Divage, Bell or Vivienne Sabo are able to offer a more budget option without losing quality. In general, you can choose for every taste and budget.

The basic rule of contouring is shading. Therefore, brushes will become an integral part of makeup. It is better to choose them from natural fibers, which will gently and gently smooth out all the "irregularities" in the makeup. But both professional brushes and synthetic fiber brushes are suitable.

To highlight the nose, makeup artists are advised to focus on other parts of the face.: bright eyes (you can beautifully accentuate lush eyelashes, a beautiful eyeliner line, bright shadows), perfect eyebrows (the main thing is not to overdo it with the shape), and owners of high and aristocratic cheekbones can take advantage of these advantages. And if you really don’t want anything bright at all, you can experiment with lip makeup (again, classic red lips suit any girl, and the right shade will make makeup appropriate in any situation).

The most open face can correct the situation with a wide nose. Natural and light makeup will complete this look. No need to try to apply dark spots (shadows, bronzer), this will only worsen the situation. Soft and delicate colors will smooth out all the lines and make it more feminine and pleasant.

Shades should be applied based on skin type: for light skin type it is better to apply shades as cold as possible, almost white; for girls whose skin type is suitable for a light tan or yellowness, shades of light brown highlights are suitable, but for dark-skinned beauties, you can safely choose dark colors.

And the most important thing that all makeup artists do not stop talking about is shading lines. All borders on the nose should be smooth, gently blending into each other. Then the makeup will turn out to be as natural and fresh as possible.

You need to remember the basic tips and everything will work out. A little practice, patience and strength will give the face perfect smoothness, and all imperfections will be hidden.
