Tips For Making Nose Look Smaller

If you want to make your long nose look smaller, apply foundation, a shade darker than your skin tone, on both sides of your nose. In case you have a wide nose, apply the same foundation underneath the nose where the nostrils meet. This will make the nose look smaller.
Wear eye makeup. Line your upper eye with an eye-liner and then apply a suitable mascara. By doing this, others will pay attention to your eyes instead of your nose.
Highlight your lips with a shimmering gloss. You may choose a lip color that makes you look attractive.
Highlight your cheek bones with a blush. Pink will be suitable for light skin, whereas shades of berry will look nice on darker complexion.
Take care of your hairstyle as well. Avoid slicking your hair back, in an attempt to make your nose look smaller. Instead, part your hair on the side and make it an attractive hairstyle, so that others are deviated from your nose. Do not cover your face with hair. Instead, tie it up so that you provide more facial area.
A small exercise for your nose can also bring about a significant change to its size. Hold the top of your nose with your thumb and index finger. Now, slide your fingers slowly to the sides of your nose. Do this for three minutes, daily in the morning, to improve the appearance of your nose.
