Celebrity makeup artist Kelly Zhang broke down the polarising nose contour trend for us, from why it's popular to what it means and how to get the look.
Over the years, the way we do nose contour in our makeup routines has continuously evolved. First, we used bobby pins to paint perfectly straight lines on each side of our noses. Then, we opted for rounded lines that led to a small circle on the tip of our noses. We’ve also swapped between warm tones and cool tones countless times. And, surely, there were many other trends that we’re forgetting now.
“This trend seems to be about making the contour more visible and intentional, rather than blending it into a subtle illusion.” Kelly shares that there are two potential reasons for this. One is a technical approach specifically designated for on-camera makeup. The other is a stylistic preference that may have a more profound message and meaning. “A sharper contour gives the nose a more defined, sculpted look, which pops on camera and under bright lights,” she says.
