(b) Step-By-Step Instructions:

1. Preparing Base

Well, preparing a base for your contouring makeup is optional. However, priming the skin is always a wise idea for any sort of makeup as you can get a better control over the whole process and reach a realistic end result in this way. So, apply the primer evenly with a makeup brush or simply by using your fingers.

2. Contouring

Now, start contouring your nose with the contouring product of your choice. Basically, you have to apply the product to both sides of the nose in straight yet soft lines just by dipping the angled brush into it. But, it is important to place the lines the right way according to the type of nose and its flaws. You can follow some common rules:

Wide All the Way: In case your nose is wide all through its length, move your angled brush up starting right from the tip. Go up to the bridge of the nose so that you can blend it into the starting point of the eyebrows.
Wide at the Tip: In case your nose is a little wide at its tip,move your angled brush so that a descending arrow is created near that portion. It will make the bulbous section look much thinner.
Wide at the Base: In case your nose is a little wide at its base, move your angled brush in such a way that a small line is created in the outward direction right near the nostrils. Your nose will look much slimmer around its base.
