Making a nose appear smaller?

[Molly B]

Hi geeks

Could any of the make up geeks advise how to make a nose appear smaller, the best products to use?

And also what is the best make up look to go for when eyes are crepy and the socket is hard to define?

Going on further training soon but hoping you amazing geeks can help in the mean time!

Thanks a mil in advance !

Contour shading down each side of the nose bone will make it appear smaller.
Don't use cream/shimmery shadow on crepey eyes.
Without seeing them, it's difficult to know what will suit the client.

It depends on whether you want to create the illusion of a slimmer nose, as opposed to a wide nose, or if you wish to make the nose appear smaller, as in shorter/not as long...

The shading as stated above will help to slimline a wide-spaced nose, whereas shading the tip of the nose/dark matte will help make a long nose appear shorter.

Shimmers/highlighters help to accentuate an area/feature... Shaders help to disguise.

Hope this helps xx

And as for mature skin, less is always more for the older lady, so a nice natural eye makeup would suffice I'm sure!

Creams, beiges, pale blues, pastels etc, but it obviously all depends on the individual and their features/requirements etc too xxx
