How much makeup do you actually wear on your nose? Probably not that much compared to your lips, cheeks, and eyes. You might cover it with some foundation and powder, contour it, or even dot a few faux freckles on it from time to time — but let's be honest, the nose is not something we usually draw a whole lot of attention to. The Internet is looking to change that, though, with a new wave of makeup looks that showcase the nose in an entirely new way.
We're not talking about the simple act of applying highlighter or blush to the tip of the nose. This new makeup trend goes all out with vibrant eye shadow and liners applied in beautiful ways around the tip, bridge, sides, and event the nostrils. Below, see just a few of our favorite takes on this new method. After seeing them, you might look at your makeup — and your nose — in a completely different light.
The Pittsburgh-based @nightmaring has a striking yet approachable take on nose makeup. To tie her rosy red cheeks, eyes, and lips together, she places a splash of bright red shadow on the tip of her nose.
User @blackbridkhai in Los Angeles takes an ever more approachable to nose makeup and highlights the tip of her nose with an iridescent blue highlighter to match her dramatic eye look.
South African Instagrammer @beautybypeach takes monochromatic makeup looks to the next level by pairing her neon orange eyeliner and lip gloss with a nose to match. In many of her looks, she applies bright eye shadows on the underside of the tip of her nose, giving it an entirely new look.
This look created by @jaelene_mua proves that nostrils are highly underrated when it comes to makeup. If you're looking for a new look to experiment with, grab a few vivid eyeliner pencils and draw small lines reaching outward from your nostrils.
This green look from user @sounthie showcases an easy yet effective way to incorporate the nose into your makeup. Simply use eye shadow to connect the space between your eyes.
