Shading the Nose: How to Apply Stage Makeup

Applying a shadow to the nose to the sides of the nose, I like to use a brush because it has a very sharp pronounced line. I do not want to get too sloppy considering the accents… the lines on your nose are very pronounced and sort of dramatic compared to the rest of the features on your face seems to be pretty accurate. I am going to leave a little bit of a space between the edge of the highlight where I can add the shadow from the sharp line where the shadow begins and extends down to the side of the nose until it begins to flatten out and the cheek, we don’t want to extend too far on to your cheek… actually we don’t want to extend on your cheek at all. As I do not give the appearance of a very broad flat nose which is not very common unless your nose happens to be broken and in addition to the fairly large shadows on the sides of your nose, you can also put a little shadow under and make sure your nose has a little depth, put a little line in the crease on the side of your nostrils.
