Now we are celebrating our differences more, so don't feel like you have to contour your nose just because it's 'different.' It's really important that we celebrate diverse features and appearances.

    If you don't have proper brushes to use, you can go to your local drugstore and buy some. If you don't want to spend the money, you can clip a bobby pin around the brush part of a bigger brush to make it thinner and easier to work with.

    Yes, there is a way to contour your nose with just eye shadow. All you have to do is apply light brown colors to the area where you need thinning and blend, blend, blend. Apply as much as you feel you need; the blending part will ultimately determine how it looks in the end.
