Contouring your nose to make it look thinner or smaller is all about using the right makeup technique. 

This is a less expensive and painful way to make your nose appear smaller than it actually is. 

To make your nose appear smaller, first you will need the right tools, i.e., the right makeup.

Dark foundation,
matte Bronzer
Highlighting cream
Loose powder
Angled blush brush
Makeup sponge

 These are the steps you need to follow for minimizing the appearance of a large nose with makeup. 

The first step is to apply the darker foundation on the sides of your nose by starting from the bridge of the nose to the crease of the nostrils. It is best to choose a cream foundation since it is easy to work with. Ensure that the foundation color you choose for contouring is at least two shades darker than your usual foundation. If you use a lighter shade of foundation, the contouring won't be noticeable and if you go any darker, your nose will not look natural.
