I would suggest focusing on other features to highlight and stand out, I also don't like my Nose and I instead try to emphasis my eyes to take attention away from my nose

Using a thin brush, draw two lines of bronzer down either side of our nose and also lightly flick the bronzer over the tip of your nose. Make sure to blend it all properly

I use an elf concealer brush and just draw a line on the sides of my nose then blend it down. I don't think you need to contour your nose though because you already have a high nose bridge.

There are a lot of great & creative ways to contour the nose. But day to day, when I'm in a rush, I'll just dab both of my ring fingers into some contour powder and just stroke on the powder on both sides of my nose at the same time. Mainly starting from the middle of my nose down. You can also dab a little more on the sides of the widest areas of your nostrils. For the most natural look, I wouldn't apply too much to the sides of the upper bridge or above the middle. You're trying to give the illusion of slimmer nostrils. If you visually try to slim the upper part, then you lose some of the impact of slimming the nostrils. You lose some of the bridge to nostril ratio, if that lose makes any sense. I'm not necessarily saying you can't do your whole nose, but it just gets a little more complicated and time consuming. Which is fine, if you practice and have the time to get the technique down.

I agree with everyone above - you can look on Youtube for some great tutorials. I put a line down either side of my nose in the dark contour powder, then highlight the center with the bright contour powder. The "harshness" of the lines blends away with the application of my finishing powder. Just play around, take pictures, then see which look you prefer and which ones works for you!
