✧˖° how to style a "bigger" nose (and actually love it)

hi angel 🕊️

first of all, thank you for being so kind, and thank you for trusting me with this question. this message made me pause, because i know how deeply personal this topic is. i want to say this very softly, but very clearly: your nose isn’t a flaw. it’s not something that needs to be “fixed” or hidden or worked around.

a long nose, a bulbous tip, a sharper bridge. those aren’t imperfections. they are features, and features deserve styling, not shaming. ✧ wider noser and bulbous noses are also ethnic features as well in other ethnicities, it shows our unique beautiful facial features that characterize our ethnicities. all facial features are beautiful, you don't need to look like madison beer or have cindy kimberly's nose to be beautiful and be more than enough for the beauty standards. let’s talk about how to enhance and soften and style your features in a way that makes you feel gorgeous. not to hide, but to frame.

🧸 first: let’s talk about beauty standards (and why we’re breaking up with them)

a lot of the insecurity around bigger noses isn’t even yours, it’s cultural noise. it’s eurocentric beauty standards. it’s “small nose” filters on tiktok. it’s actresses and influencers who all look the same from the front, but not always in real life.

truth is, some of the most striking, unforgettable faces in history have had prominent noses. and tiny noses? they’re not automatically better, they can actually throw off a face’s proportions if it doesn’t match the cheekbones, the forehead, the lip structure. everything’s meant to go together! your nose is part of that design.

so no, we’re not hiding it. we’re working with it. styling it. softening it when we want. highlighting it when we feel bold. and most of all. we’re honoring it, because it belongs to you.

🎀 styling tips for big, beautiful noses

these tips are for softening, balancing, or enhancing a larger or more prominent nose. not because it needs fixing, but because you deserve to feel gorgeous from every angle.

➼ lift with blush, not contour. instead of contouring your nose into a shape that isn’t yours, try shifting the attention upward with strategic blush. apply blush a little higher on your cheeks and across the bridge of your nose. this brings attention to the center of your face without trying to erase its structure. it’s giving sun-kissed, coquette, beauty.

➼ line your lips wider than your nose. a great trick for balancing a prominent nose is to draw your lip line slightly past your natural lip line, especially on the top outer corners. fuller lips pull the visual balance lower, so your nose doesn’t dominate the center of your face. this works especially well with gloss or a diffused lip combo.

➼ tightline and lift the eyes. a larger nose can bring a lot of attention to the middle of the face, so balance that by framing your eyes. tightlining (lining the top waterline) and softly lifting the outer corner of your eyes with a mini wing or smoky eyeshadow brings the focus outward. avoid heavy lashes or liner only on the bottom, it pulls the face downward.

➼ hairstyle matters more than you think. middle parts, slicked back buns, or super sharp styles can sometimes overemphasize angular features. if you want to soften the face, try face-framing pieces, curtain bangs, or soft layers. these styles add dimension and balance without covering your features.

➼ highlight strategically. you don’t need to highlight the tip of your nose if it’s already round or bulbous. instead, try a soft line down the bridge only, and skip the tip. this makes your nose look elegant and elongated without calling too much attention to the roundness.

➼ glasses are your secret weapon. a pair of frames can completely transform how your nose sits on your face visually. go for cat-eye, oval, or soft geometric shapes that work with your features. glasses create structure and shape around the nose. basically natural face contour.

➼ play with earrings + jewelry to bring balance. statement earrings or longer, dangly styles bring balance to the face and draw the eye down, especially if you want to shift focus. avoid overly small studs if your features are more prominent. they can make everything else feel exaggerated.

✧ style from within too

this might sound cliché, but hear me out... styling isn’t just about how your face looks, it’s about how you feel. when you feel beautiful, you look beautiful. and that’s not just energy, it’s literal posture, eye contact, expression.

➼ take more selfies. seriously. not filtered ones. just natural lighting, soft angles, candid ones. get to know your face. play with expressions. learn what angles you love. the more you see yourself, the less shocked you’ll feel when someone else does.

➼ follow girls with noses like yours. your feed shapes your brain. curate it. follow girls with strong noses, soft noses, curved ones, long ones. admire their beauty, not in a “they can pull it off but i can’t” way, but in a i can see myself in her way.

➼ stop comparing your side profile to someone else’s front-facing filter. side profiles aren’t “flaws.” they’re depth. you are not a flat screen, you’re a 3d angel with a face that moves, turns, smiles. your profile tells a story.

💌 from me to you:

i know this is more than styling, it’s about how you feel. and i want you to know that glowettee (me, mindy) isn’t about erasing features to fit in. it’s about honoring what’s already there.

your nose isn’t too much. your face isn’t something to hide. tiny noses are not the default, and they’re not automatically better. your features are meant to belong to your face, and the more you lean into that, the more confident you’ll feel.

so style your nose like it’s the main character, because honestly? it kind of is.

love, always — mindy ♡
