To contour a triangular nose (wider at the nostrils than at the top), focus on balancing its shape by contouring the tip and highlighting strategically.
Here's a breakdown:
-
Contour the Tip: Apply contour powder or cream to the very tip of your nose. This helps to visually shorten and narrow the widest part. Use a small, precise brush for accuracy.
-
Highlight Under the Inner Eyebrows: Apply a small amount of highlighter to the inner corners of your eyes, extending slightly under the inner brow bone. This draws attention upwards and outwards, creating a more balanced appearance.
Why this approach? Triangular noses are characterized by a broader base and a narrower bridge. The goal is to minimize the appearance of the wider base. Contouring only the tip prevents the widening effect that can occur when contouring the sides of the nose. The highlighter placement further enhances the overall balance by lifting the eye area and drawing attention away from the lower part of the nose. Avoid contouring the sides of the nose, as this can further accentuate the width at the nostrils.
