Contouring, especially of the nose, can make the difference between an ordinary look and a complete one. “Nose contouring accentuates the most prominent feature of the face and for some people can make them feel more confident if they are unsure about the shape or size of their nose,” explained MakeUp by Mario CEO Mario Dedivanovic. He added that you should be careful in natural light, as a contoured nose looks better under special lights or in photographs. Contouring in this area can be difficult to learn, so any technique that makes the process easier is welcome.
Charlotte Tilbury, makeup artist and entrepreneur, and Victoria Beckham, fashion designer and beauty expert, shared an easy nose contouring trick that's easy to copy. Tilbury has been using this technique on Beckham for years. This trick is perfect for those who want the look of a small, neat nose, known as the "button nose" look. To get started, all you need is a bronzer, a highlighter , and two brushes. With a little practice, you can achieve the same beautiful nose look as Victoria Beckham.
Charlotte Tilbury and Victoria Beckham also revealed that they often receive questions about the possibility of rhinoplasty, but they insisted that they did not need surgery thanks to this nose trick.
How does the nose trick work?
Charlotte Tilbury uses a “U”-shaped method for contouring the nose. First, place the bronzer brush on one side of the nose, pull it down and make a small arc at the end of the nose, then continue up the other side of the nose. Then use a small highlighter brush and draw a line towards the center of the nose, adding a small dot at the end. This combination of contouring and highlighting makes the nose look smaller and more beautifully shaped.
Of course, you don't have to use Charlotte Tilbury and Victoria Beckham products for this technique. You can also choose more affordable products that have the same effect, for example bronzers and highlighters from various brands available on the market.
This technique shows that with a little technique and the right products, nose contouring can be made simple and effective, giving an elegant and refined appearance without the need for surgical intervention.
