Hey everybody,
This video is going to demonstrate how you can use a bit of makeup to create an illusion of a slimmer & taller nose by the techniques of contouring.
What sucks is with eyes and lips- everybody has different preferences but with the nose there is a so called set standard. "Slim & high". What is this 'set standard' anyway? I don't believe in it but doesn't the media like to brain wash us all?
I know I'm going to get a lot of slack about making a nose contouring video but I don't care =). I'm here to do my thing and if it's requested- I'll do it. I rather my viewers not go through the pain from nose surgery and nose contour instead. It's cheap, safe and you got nothing to lose.
If you can apply eyeliner to make eyes bigger, wear black to give illusion of a slimmer body, wear heels to make yourself taller, wear extensions to fake having long hair; why can't you use makeup to give illusion of a slimmer nose?
Genetically- asians not only scar more than any other race but a lot of us have flatter profile & a bulbous tip. This means the nose can appear wider with less definition. It's ok- I appreciate the oriential face. I think each race is uniquely beautiful in their own way. But I do understand that many people ARE self conscious about the nose. So unhappy that it's all they can think about.
The way I contour my nose is a bit different from how most makeup artists contour the nose. This is because everybody has different noses and one form of makeup will not cater everybody. Just like how I can't do a lot of makeup looks on my eyes because I have small eyelids.
That's fine =) We work with other methods that work well for us. I find that this technique works best for me. Makeup should have no rules. The techniques I used for nose contouring are mostly catered for my type of nose because there aren't a lot of nose contouring videos for asian noses on Youtube. However- if you feel you have a wide alar base or that your nose is flat; you can try out these methods if you wish =)
Remember, nobody is perfect. I would hate to think any of you guys let your nose affect you from living your life fully. Everybody has flaws and sometimes what you think is a flaw could be something your family & friends love about you. You know what? I like my nose now. I used to hate my nose. I would look at the mirror and I cry because I thought it didn't blend well with the rest of my face. This made me insecure and I would try to photoshop my photos or even rip up perfectly fine normal photos of myself. I've even considered getting a nose job before. Would you believe that? Crazy eh? Not really because we all have been there too where we've once hated our own reflection. When are we going to stop being so harsh on ourselves and focus on our good features instead?
My nose is actually one of my boyfriend's favourite feature about me. My nose is also inherited from my father and it makes me happy that I have a feature that represents somebody I love & care about. It's part of me. I should love it and feel lucky that I can breathe out of it and that it keeps me alive.
I'm working hard on my new cosmetic brushes but I will keep you guys informed with the progress. Loving the dual end pencil/fluffy brush though ^_^. We shall see.
If you are considering surgery on your face or body, I won't judge you at all because I understand you have reasons. But remember to think it through because there are a lot of factors to think about. Think about who are you doing this for and remember, surgery doesn't necessarily mean you will be happy. Definitely think about all sorts of alternatives before going under the knife =) It can be dangerous and no surgery is 100% guaranteed safe or successful. Why not try contouring? Talk to somebody you trust.

I may be 4ft 11 with a round face, wide nose and thick legs- I'm beautiful because I feel beautiful. It took me years to be comfortable in my own skin. No amount of makeup has ever made me feel as beautiful as I do now ^_^. You are beautiful too. Tell yourself this and believe it!
Ps. I have been watching everybody's contest entries and it's lovely to see my viewers faces. You guys are so cute ^_^. Keep them coming. I like to watch you guys before and after I sleep ^_^
Pps. As always, thank you to youtube channel 'Karaokekpop' for awesome instrumentals!
