I really want to make my nose look smaller. However I don't have the necessary products to contour and I'm broke.
I have mostly foundations but in different shades and I've got a bronzer and a concealer. Can you contour with just those things?
-the powder in the black container is lighter than me
-the one next to it is just my shade
-the bronzer just adds shimmer
- my liquid foundation is way too dark so I figured I could use that.
-and the lightest foundation is 10x lighter than my skin color. Could that work?
-the concealer is a lot darker too.
Please help :c

Applying a slightly darker shade around the side of the nose creates shadows and applying a lighter down the middle creates a slimming effect, just make sure you blend it all correctly and don't walk around with an obviously patchy nose hah! xx

Yeah that should work! I have 2 foundations that I mix and match to different parts of my face one my naa rural colour then one slightly darker that I put on the sides of my nose under my cheek bones and I also put it on the outer parts of my forehead or if I'm in a rush I use my bronzed on the sides of my face and down each side of my nose hope this helps basically your products should work as long as they aren't too dark :) x
