The provided video describes contouring your nose using contour and concealer, not specifically foundation. Here's a breakdown of how to contour your nose, which may involve using foundation shades:
Steps to Contour Your Nose
-
Apply Cool-Toned Contour: Use a cool-toned contour product down the sides of your nose. This creates the illusion of shadows, making your nose appear slimmer.
-
Brightening Concealer: Apply a brightening concealer down the center of your nose. Choose a concealer that's a few shades lighter than your skin tone to highlight and add dimension. The video suggests something "four to" shades lighter, but that will depend on your coloring and concealer. Start subtle.
It's important to note that some people do use foundation to contour, employing a foundation shade darker than their skin tone in place of a traditional contour product. This can give a more natural, blended look. In this case, you would still follow the same general steps outlined above, but using a darker foundation instead of a dedicated contour.
