How to Maintain a Flawless Nose (With Glasses or a Cold)


As a glasses wearer, my nose is a constant issue. Do my makeup flawless, and boom - 10 minutes of glasses wearing and its RUINED. Not to mention a cold, how many of us have tried to maintain a flawless look then one blow of a nose and its over. End up looking like Rudolf, and no - that is never cool, no matter the month. 


I am so not taking credit for this - I seen it on YouTube, and taadaaaaa it works! (So I thought I would share) 

So, what you are going to need is an eyeshadow primer, one which matches your skin colour preferably. My idea is MAC Soft Ochre, which is the ideal match for my peely wally skin. Ha. 

Step 1: 
No face primer on your nose, apply everywhere else. 

Step 2: 
Apply an even layer of the eyeshadow primer all over your nose. COVER IT. 

Step 3: 
Apply foundation as normal, but be careful not to move the primer around, best way to apply is with a beauty blender in a dabbing motion. 

Step 4:
Bake or set with Powder. 


Magic Moment.

Hope it works as well for me as it did for you, and let me know if you are going to try it, it works for me, such a lifesaver... well maybe not that extreme but at least I don't have red marks on my nose anymore lol
