  • Long nose: Apply normal foundation first. Apply darker foundation to the base of the nose and blend upwards and over the tip of the nose.
  • Thin nose: Apply normal foundation from the nostrils to the bridge of the nose in up and down movements. Powder the face with one shade lighter than the one applied to the rest of the face.
  • Flat nose: After applying normal foundation color, apply a lighter foundation color straight down the centre of the nose from just above the bridge to a point just below the tip of the nose. Powder with your normal powder.

    NECK
  • Short and thick neck: Use a darker foundation on the neck than the one used on the face to make the neck appear thinner.
