How should you apply corrective make-up to a wide nose?

Applying shader to the sides of the nose is an effective technique for making a wide nose appear narrower. This method utilizes darker makeup formulations, such as contour products, on the sides of the nose to create a shadow effect. By enhancing the natural shadows that occur on the face, this technique visually narrows the appearance of the nose, drawing attention to the central area and creating the illusion of more defined contours.

In makeup correction techniques, shading is generally applied on areas that the artist wishes to recede or make less prominent. As a result, by strategically placing the shader on the flanks of the nose, it helps bring emphasis to the bridge and tip, balancing the facial proportions and achieving the desired narrowness.

Other options may include applying highlight or bronzer to areas that are intended to stand out, but these strategies do not aid in reshaping the perceived width of the nose. Focusing solely on the nostrils or using bronzer alone does not provide the contouring necessary for an effective correction.
