Larger Nose Woes

Put down the contour stick and let's talk about how to honor your beauty with a large nose. Everyone is so used to looking at their reflection and immediately looking to what is wrong. You can't even help it! I mean hello societal beauty standards and marketing that promotes "fixing" you. But God cannot make mistakes. The nose you carry probably has a story tied to your ancestral lineage. Today we're going to learn how to honor it, instead of hiding it.


Let's reframe this. What if your larger nose is asking you to show up in a big way? Play up your other features to balance your nose.


Larger Eyes: Try widening the appearance of the windows to your soul with the following makeup technique:


  1. Apply a modest amount of neutral eyeshadow on you eyelids below your brow bone. Go for a color that is one to two shades lighter than your skin tone.

  2. After use your eyeshadow brush to apply your contour product to the crease of your lid.

  3. Next, apply white eyeliner to your lower lash line. This will give the appearance of larger eyes.

  4. Finally, curl and add length to your lashes with mascara, falsies, or extensions.

  5. Note, if you want to play it up even more, add winged eyeliner. You may also put shimmer eyeshadow in the inner corner of your eyes.


Fuller Lips: Before applying lipstick, liner your lip with a color to add more volume. Not a lipstick girl? Use lip gloss or a high shine lip balm with light plumping effects.


Strong Brows: Keep your eyebrows full! Maintain a flattering shape and avoid over-plucking or pencil thin eyebrows.


Sculpt Your Face: Having a larger nose means your essence has the potential to be picturesque - much like a sculpture! Learn to contour your cheekbones to make them pop and call attention to the entirety of your face. Ok, now you may pick the contour stick back up 😂 BUT don't overdo it! You have nothing to hide.
