"Hi I'm Kelli, I'm an aesthetician and makeup artist at Ulta Salon and Cosmetics, and I'm going to give you some tips on how you can make your nose appear smaller. Easiest thing to remember is darkness always diminishes and light will enhance, so if you want to reduce the appearance of your nose what you want to do is you want to take either a bronzer or a little bit of a darker powder and say you had a maybe a wider nose you could take just a little bit of this bronzer on either side of her nose. See how that kind of diminishes the appearance and then hit just the bridge with a little bit of a highlighter powder; just like right down the center. Because what's going to happen then is your eyes going to be drawn to the really thin strip of light just headed right down the bridge to the tip of the nose, and the darkness is going to pull your eye away from that so it's going to make your nose appear a whole lot smaller. And you can just do that basically with anything you want to contour always you want to put a darker color on what you want to minimize the appearance of and a lighter color on what you want to enhance. So there's some tips on how to make your nose look smaller."
