A really good reference for how to contour your makeup is Making Faces by Kevyn Aucoin (recently deceased). You should be able to check it out of almost any public library.

This has really helped me:
Buy some liquid foundation that is 2-3 shades darker than your natural skin tone.
Before you put your normal foundation on, blend the darker foundation into the sides of your nose. This will create the illusion of a smaller, narrower nose, because darker parts of your face will appear smaller.
I hate my nose, so I concentrate on making my eyes and lips look better. If you have nice eye makeup, people are more likely to look at that than your nose.
I hope I helped!

Yes, I heard the same thing too. Use a darker (brown) color at the sides of your nose, blend blend blend, and use a highlighter all the way down the nose, then blend blend blend.
Also, a different haircut can also change the look of your face. Try a shorter haircut with layers around the face or bangs.

I use contouring and it really works. To do this, you need a bronzer and a highlighter. Since highlighter makes any portion of your face appear more elevated, apply a strip of this on your nose bridge, all the way down to the tip of your nose (make it proportionate to the size of your nostrils and the tip of your nose).
Bronzer makes any portion of your face appear more streamlined. Apply thin strips of bronzer at both sides of your nose bridge all the way down to the tip of your nose. If your nose appears wider at the bottom, I suggest that you apply the bronzer in a subtle v-shape.
Don't forget to use a thin brush, and BLEND for a natural look. Hope this helps!

I would suggest you use a blush brush and apply a downward stroke(with a light shade of blush) from the top of your nose to the bottom. Also do kind of the same except the other way right besides you eyes. Plus a light brush under your chin. And don't forget you're beautiful anyways.

Use a concealer or a light brown liner that can be smudged and put it in the creases at the base of your nose. It gives your nose more definition and the appearance of being more slender. Just make sure it is blended in!

i discover that there are 2 techniques, the 1st is complicated and frequently seems solid on honest complextion, and could be performed via a experienced hand. it is putting a coloration lighter shade of concealer down the midsection of the nostril to grant a raised result. Then taking a coloration darker to the aspects of the nostril to the better corners of the eyes. this technic works wonders on action picture and digital camera(for any epidermis shade),yet not often seems organic in organic each and on a daily basis placing, and it takes awhile to earnings and to accomplish. lady impersonators have perfected this technic to make their noses look greater female. The 2d technique is a breaze and undemanding, to coach. 1st take a lamp interior the rest room, turn off the sunshine, then place the lamp under your chin and change it on. The factors that are darkish, are factors that is highlighted. Then take undemanding vaseline or petrolium jelly on a sparkling face and easily take little on your finger , and circulate down the bridge of your nostril, cheek bone factors, and whereever you p.c. to hightlight. No you're unlikely to placed on the vaseline,yet that's prepare for the over the counterhighlighter you will purchase. The Vaseline we could you notice the version the highlighted factors will look and to coach the technic. as quickly as you have have been given it down, circulate to Walgreens or CVS( no could purchase an high priced one thy all are the comparable) Revlon skinlights,etc. seek for a coloration that for the duration of complemetrey on your epidermis tone. Highlighters selection from pearl to coral and bronze. in case you're a depressing african american truly circulate with a pearlish white. The do your makeup as extensive-unfold and the the highlighter would be your final step. they're truly staggering for making the nostril thinner and waking up he eyes. in case you're frightened of all this data, step right into a Sephora or Ulta and ask for a loose make-over or demo, there isn't any fee and don't sense pressed to purchase something. Sory for the long answer. solid success

I heard if you put a little darker foundation (or a blush) on both sides of the nose it give the appearance of being slimmer.

put a white or light foundation/concealer along ridge of nose, use a darker foundation along sides, blend so it doesn't look like a streak of white down your nose. Old theater trick.
