Update: Nose Contour Technique

 

I wish I could get a nose surgery…seriously…if that’s one thing I can get to do on my face….nose it is!

I mean obviously, there are several parts of my face that I want to change….(just being honest here) BUT, I can do away with false lashes, to make my eyes appear larger, I honestly like my one-liner eye whenever I smile but there’s nothing I can do to change my nose unless I use makeup.

Obviously, even when I get to be offered with free NOSE surgery, I will NEVER take the offer —- for so many reasons.

1. I’m a scaredy cat.

2. I have many allergies so beauty enhancements with surgery will NEVER cross my mind.

3. My husband loves my nose as it is….he’s fallen in love with me since Senior High ok? :P  (Haba  ng hair ko I know! :P)

So through the years, I almost perfected nose contouring especially my own!  So please…don’t judge me when you see me in person —- it’s not the filter…it’s always the makeup for me! :P

Can you spot the difference in both photos? 

If you have to look closely, that is a compliment for me, that means, the change is subtle you have to look closely to see the change! 

A quick video shared on my Instagram account using Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage Concealer Duo!  The easiest tool to use not only to conceal but to contour and highlight.

If you're clueless, this is a perfect blog post for you!  I have the Etude House Play 101 Stick for quite some time and it took me serveral tries to really appreciate this nifty product!  

Everyone knows I'm always a powder girl!  It is easier to apply and less effort to blend!  But why do I still keep the Play 101 Stick Contour Duo with me?  Well, would you believe this is a perfect contour duo "retouch" product?  It's so handy I can easy do a quick retouch inside the ladies' room!
