By Padmapreetham Mahalingam

Eating well and exercising regularly can make your face glow; however only with perfect make up tricks you can highlight and sculpt your prominent features. Without make up most of the celebrities look simple and unrecognisable and it clearly shows how much transformation make up techniques can bring to a person’s appearance. Sometimes we all wish our eyes are a bit larger and our nose could have been a bit slimmer; however with makeup you can achieve your goal. Most of us aren’t aware how makeup has the power to help us attain a striking look. Cosmetic surgery can be done to restructure your nose, eyes and lips, yet without surgical intervention you can still accomplish your goal with few make up tricks. Interestingly even some of the celebrities like Kim Kardashian or Jenifer Aniston do make their nose look stunningly slim with smart contouring. Contouring is one of the clever makeup tricks that can make your nose look sharper. All you to need to use is a makeup product for contouring such as a darker foundation. This is one of the most essential makeup tricks to make your nose slim. Even brown eye shadow can just work as well. If you’re a beginner when it comes to makeup then start off with a powder product instead of cream. If you want to achieve a sharp nose then use two shades of foundation or bronzer. Here are some of the makeup tricks to make your nose look sharper.

TIPS TO APPLY BOLD MAKEUP

Nose Look Sharp

Darker foundation
When you don’t have a sharp nose then it is really important to try a darker matt foundation. Firstly apply the foundation or a concealer 2 shades darker than your natural skin tone. If your nose is a touch long then make sure to simply apply it between and around the nostrils. And one of the other perfect makeup tricks to make your nose look sharper, is to try applying foundation between your eyebrows all the way to the sides of your nose.

Contouring technique
When it comes to makeup, blending is essential and the other aspect after blend is contouring. If you’re looking for ways to make your nose small then use a bronze stick down the side of the nose, top of the eyebrow and down to the top of the nostrils. Bronzer can actually make your nose look slim. Just make sure it looks natural and matches your skin tone.

Moreover after using bronze stick then blend it with a makeup sponge. On other hand to make your nose look slim, you can even blend your darker foundation with your natural skin tone foundation.

Never make your nose shine
A perfect makeup trick to make your nose look sharper is to use matt finish make up. The matt finish make up will remove the shine away from your nose. Remember that shine can make your nose look much bigger instead of slimmer. Just make sure to use make up primers that have mattifying finish to keep the shine off from your bigger nose.

No loads of make up
Never try to overload make up on your nose to make it look sharper. More importantly you need to accentuate your cheeks with a bit of shimmer to actually take the attention from your nose. Remember drawing attention to your cheeks can make your nose look slimmer. Try only to sculpt or highlight your cheeks.

Loose powder
Loose powder will saturate excess sebum. After contouring and foundation, the last step to follow is to slap some loose powder around your nose to wipe out the glossy shine from it
