I've never had a nose piercing but yes, once your piercing has healed you can wear makeup, just make sure it's all cleaned at night. Also, you don't even notice your piercing after the first few days, it doesn't really feel like anything.

Only once it's been healed you don't wanna get an infection while its in the process of healing right?! And at first yes it does but then you forget about it as Rebecca said ^

I have lots of piercings and I always wore makeup, I just didn't put it too close to the piercing when they were still in the healing process. but you will do it right on your own, because the area close to the piercing will definitely hurt.

I got my nose pierced Saturday, and I still wear makeup on just very careful on where I put it and how close. It's not sore anymore but when it was you didn't want to touch it. I would just say be careful how close. And to your other question. The first day it felt weird because there is something in your nose but I can't even tell now

Yes you can wear makeup just don't put any near it when you first get it or you can risk getting an infection and no it doesn't really feel like a booger it's just a bit sore.

I put my makeup around the piercing, and it doesn't feel like a booger as eventually you don't even realize it's there

Honestly, I've had each side of my nose done three times each side in the last 4 years and each time (also with other facial piercings) have worn makeup whilst they're new, you just need to try and avoid getting any into the actual piercing, so as long as you don't move the bar while you're applying your makeup you should be fine. Another tip is wiping any excess foundation/powder off the top of the stud. As long as you're cleaning twice daily for the first 8 weeks you shouldn't have any problems :) be careful of towels, sucks getting nose studs caught on them lol.

And nope definitely doesn't feel like a booger haha :) at first it's a little weird because you won't be used to it but after a few days when the swelling goes down you won't even notice it's there.
