Draw 3 lines down your nose with a light concealer

Make sure to apply your regular primer, foundation, and concealer before you start contouring your nose. Then, put 1 line of concealer directly down the center of your nose from the bridge to the tip. Draw another line down each side of your nose from near the bridge to the front part of the nostril.

Use a light hand and blend well to create a seamless transition from the rest of your face
Choose a concealer that’s 1-2 shades darker than your natural tone
Avoid harsh lines or dramatic angles, as these can accentuate the appearance of a large nose

Blend the concealer with a beauty sponge

or your ring finger. Dab at the concealer instead of swiping or spreading it around (this dabbing motion is called stippling). Stipple up and down the lines until they disappear and your nose looks smooth.

Stipple gently to avoid cakey makeup
Use a light touch to blend, especially around the edges

Draw 2 parallel lines down your nose with dark concealer or contour

. If you’re using concealer, pick one that’s 1-2 shades darker than your natural tone. If you’re using contour, choose the darkest color in your palette. Use a small, angled makeup brush and draw 2 thin lines down the sides of bridge of your nose toward the nostrils.

Use a light hand when applying, as too much product can look cakey or heavy
Choose a dark shade that complements your skin tone
Avoid harsh lines or dramatic angles, as these can accentuate the appearance of a large nose
If you’re using concealer, pick one that’s 1-2 shades darker than your natural tone.
If you’re using contour, choose the darkest color in your palette.

Blend your nose again with a sponge or your ring finger.

Stipple your dark concealer or contour lines and move the makeup down the sides of your nose (not across the front). Keep going until the lines disappear and you get a “shadow” effect on the sides of your nose.
