A age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Im a girl, Im 15 and really, really self-concious about my nose. Its just too big. It makes all my other facial features seem out of proportion and worst of all it makes me really, really ugly. I hate it. I hate the comments I get about it. I avoid looking at myself in the mirror or giving direct eye contact with anyone because of it. The bottom line is: its hideous. Im afraid Im never going to get a boyfriend if I dont disguise it in some way. This may sound stupid, but, are there any ways in which I can disguise its true size? Are there any methods (in make-up, etc) to make my nose appear smaller? Im just so desperate to look pretty and if not pretty, then just OK. Please help!

Im soo happy to know that im not the only one ! i do have a big nose, but alot of girls & boys still call me beautiful and pretty, so it boosts up my self esteem. in grade 5 people started calling me peacock and i have cried so many times. i always cover the side of my face with my hand, pretending to hold up my bangs when im sitting in class or walking down the halls. ive tried looking up tricks to make it smaller, and theres makeup and stuff but we all need to realize something: we have to accept ourselves for who we are.. more than half of the worlds population have big noses.. so big noses should be normal right? people honestly wont judge you and ignore you because of your nose. and if they do they need to be more mature, we are all beautiful and special in our own way!! im 13 in grade 8, and sometimes i do wish i had a smaller nose, but i look myself in the eye when i look in the mirror and say " im beautiful, no matter what haters say "

If you people are seriously unhappy about having a big nose then you may want to consider "rhinoplasty" also known as a nose job. Just a thought... (: xx

I have a big nose also. I used to be really self conscious about it but them I realized people actually dont care. I mean yeah they say mean stuff but they probably look worse than you do. I just look at myself in the mirror and realize I wouldn't change any part of my body. Everyone is unique and that's what makes you pretty in your own way. Ive been called pretty plenty of times and I just say thanks and move on even though sometimes I don't agree. Bu I always say personality is more important and when they realize your amazing person everything else doesn't matter. So smile and be happy for what you have and who you are :)

Hey,

I know exactly how you feel cause i'm 16 and my nose is massive too, like major massive :( I used to get teased about it ALL the time, and some of the comments were just heartbreaking and made me feel like an ugly shit. I'm really really really self-concious and I get unconfortable when people have conversations about noses around me.

But i guess nobody's perfect and all that teasing doesn't seem to hurt as much as it did before :) I'm sure your a beautiul person and someone out there thinks so too :)

I can totally relate, I am 16 years old and I am a junior in highschool, I thought I might "grow" into my nose but unfortunately it never happened...I am in the SAME boat as you, I haven't gotten teased straight up to my face but I know people look at me and see my nose first thing. I am VERY self consious about it..even talking about noses in class or something makes me feel uncomfortable. I am so glad to hear other people in this world are feeling the way I do. I have been looking in to plastic surgery but I am TERRIFIED of surgery. I know it's no big deal but we can either get the surgery or own it!

If you're only 13 or 14, please don't worry. I promise, you have plenty of time to develop into a beautiful girl and figure out what works best for you. The girls in middle school who are thought to be unattractive become some of the prettiest girls in high school. Partially because of the way the face changes in those years as well as each girl figuring out what looks best for her. I know you wish you could hear "do this, and your nose will look perfect!' but the thing is, you little girls don't need to change a thing. let your maturing do the work for you. Confidence is certainly a factor, as most say. People notice things you are self conscious about because you are self conscious about them. It's not till they notice your discomfort that they notice the actual "flaw." You then become more self conscious and the cycle continues. All you girls think the only way to cure the self conscious insecurity is to fix whatever you think is possibly wrong. But really, by having confidence, the cycle can't start. People won't notice any flaw, or if they do, they certainly won't say anything about it if they think you don't even care. Because without you caring, its completely irrelevant to them altogether. Optimism and confidence are all you girls need. you have no idea how much prettier you will look when you get through these awkward stages of middle school. Every one is self conscious about there awkward build so they point out others awkward stages to feel better themselves. And again, this continues on like a cycle. Only you can control your self confidence and being confident, but not cocky, will lead to your insecurities becoming nonexistent. If confidence is just too difficult to feel, then feel optimism. In 3 years, you'll look completely different. 3 years after that, again, you will look almost completely different, certainly for the better even if you are perfect now. hang in there girls, it gets so much better. the teasing, crying, ect. all end. you will turn into a beautiful young lady and by then, you will already be humble (yes, you can be confident and humble) and that makes the perfect girl.

I think you're going about the situation from a totally wrong perspective. In order to look beautiful you have to FEEL beautiful. Own your nose! It's you and that in itself makes it gorgeous. Don't let the media's negative outlook on larger noses bring you down, because just think, with the flick of a switch "they" could probably convince everyone that big noses are the the new small. If your nose is what sets you apart from a crowd, don't let it be a bad thing. Don't try to hide it! If you can convince yourslef and others that you love your nose the way it is, than that will make you far more beautiful than any amount of make up or surgery.

I learned to love my nose and so can you...and I personally have always though larger noses are elegant and pretty. So basically, It's not your nose you should change, it's your perspective. :)

Hey. 8th grade, 13.

well i'm quite glad that there's a billion other people with the same problemmm..

i'm arab, and have a large nose, i got it from my dad..

everyone here is kind of over reacting,

like mine is actually really big, but it's alright, there are a couple of celebrities that have large noses, and i admire them.. Barbra Streisand, Lea Michelle (Rachel Berry), etc etc..

i KIND OF hate my nose, because when i was younger, i had a full on curved nose, but going through puberty and shiz has made it much larger, and a lot like my dads.. i have 2 sisters, and they have perfect noseees.. it sometimes suck, but it's totally fine other times.. like there HAS TO BE a time when all of you felt pretty, even once.. :-)

just be happy, who honestly cares.. i've never been teased about my nose because im really confident, have alot of friends, and get complimented on my personality, and most friends call me pretty :-) which everytime someone says that, i smile.. don't deny it, even if you want to, that's just plain stupid..

but the thing i loathe, is that all the girls who are actually pretty, have nice noses, and everything, keep calling themselves ugly, i absoloutley hate it... they should appreciate how they're not fat, they have nice noses, nice hair and everything, don't you hate it?!

but urgh.. haha ;)

basically, yes, everyone here has a big nose, SO WHAT?

if you're getting bullied about it, go tell someone, maybe a teacher? i dont get the whole dibba dobba thing, it's stupid. it's better to make it stop, because the person bullying you is some low life, you're MOST LIKELY BEAUTIFUL..

Honey i am also a girl with a big nose...

i have blackheads on it and it looks really weird.

my enemies always said ew ew eww huge nose!

i cover my nosee when i am with my friends cause i don't want them to see it but they have and they feel it is not so huge.

in pictures i look good.I have nice lips and medium eyes with dimples so i like pretty (MA).I just wanna tell you people will say omg ugly but only cause ur so concious and are always looking at it trying to hide it.Put on some concealer in triangular motions starting from underneath your eye lid to ur lips but passing the edge of ur nose.It will help but listen everyone is given a nose due to their face,if u are over-weight loose weight and it's probably baby fat:) BECOME CONFIDENT!and never go for a surgery unless you wanna be MJ!:(lol so take care babes:)

I have the same problem. I'm mostly Polish so I have "the Polish nose". I've tried everything to make it seem less noticable. I actually went with wearing bold eye makeup to make my eyes the focus. But now I notice that if you add a little eyeliner, a light coat of mascara(just enough so it's natural but bold), and a suttle eye shadow, It'll brighten your eyes so that people will look past the nose and see your eyes.

I can relate so well to everything that everyone has said and opened up about here. I feel so relieved that I'm not the only one feeling the way I do. I have a big nose and a beautiful sister. I get told a lot that she’s really pretty, but they don't say anything like you're beautiful to me and I often feel horrible. I pray to God asking to be more like my sister. If there’s one thing I've learned from each and everyone of you, it's that the definition of beautiful is overrated, in our society it means thin, SMALL NOSED, flawless pretty much, but God made us unique so that we aren't all the same. Our differences, our features is what sets us apart. Small nose, big nose... who ever said that a big nose isn't beautiful? Girls have problems with smaller noses to and wish they had larger ones. You know what sucks the most? It's that the age group of majority of the feedback are girls of ages 12-20 which leaves me to conclude that media is affecting our age group and giving us an idea of 'the perfect girl'. Close you're eyes and imagine the prettiest girl. Does she have a perfect nose? Perfect teeth? Perfect skin? Perfect everything? Well, what is perfect? You are perfect, he is perfect, I AM PERFECT. You only have one chance at life, it's your decision if you want to always be worried that your nose is showing. This is just a chapter of your life, everyone will come across their insecurities but everyone will also look past them. When your older and look back to the book of your life, this won't even be a full chapter. Be the change that our society needs, be that girl that’s fearless no matter how big or how small her nose is. Be YOU and don’t worry there will be plenty more boys and opportunities that mean much more to you then your 9th grade crush or the size of your nose!

Thanks so much by the way, you have all shown me that there are REAL girls our there! I have been so inspired that I wrote a song and I dedicate it to all you beautiful girls :)

Hey, I can relate to all of you. My nose is not long but instead it is wide...I mean really wide. Sometimes I stare at my face and all I can see is my nose... However, I am 20 years old and I had boyfriends in the past and had people telling me that I am beautiful. In high school nobody made fun of my nose but instead I was teased about my big forehead (go figure lol). I learned to deal with it. I do not conceal it in any way just make my eyes to "stand out" with some make up so that when somebody looks at me they will see my eyes instead of my nose. I am kind of insecure but I guess no one else notices my wide nose but me. We should all accept who we are and stop worrying.

This 9th grader skater boy i liked , drew a picture of me and he said "wait let me make the jew nose bigger" and it was like hanging down! it makes me feel like the uglyiest girl in the entire school. im so happy i read these articles. u guys helped me out a lot!! so just try hobbies cause im one of the boys at my school like bmx, skating, guitar. once they see how amazing u are they will love you for you!! 3

You can use contouring to hide the bits on your nose to make it look smaller. It's basically a makeup disguise. You just put eyeshadow or foundation 1 to two shades darker than your skin tone on the sides of your nose or wherever and it shadows your nose, making it look smaller. I do this all the time! Im only 14 i wanted a nose job really bad but until im older, i just do this to hide it! Its like the same as you contour your cheekbones! If you havent heard of it type it into youtube and there are videos on how to do it properly!! Good luck

take some bronzer or blush as a second option. start at the top of your nose and make a straight line down. blend in if lines are to noticeable but this gives an appearance of a smaller straighter nose.

I'm sure you are all beautiful but if your really feeling self conscious play with makeup.

Shading can make all the difference. It depends on your particular facial structure Highlighting and shading parts of your face can change the depths of perception.

Using lighter shades will make that part stand out more, so if you highlight the tops of your cheeks they will stand out more. if you shade just the sides of your nose it will appear to be more narrow. These are makeup tricks you learn in theater but work in every day life. Most people who went to cosmetology school will probably not know these tricks.

Once your done shading make sure it looks natural and you can apply the rest of your makeup like normal.

It's just what works best for your face

I know how you feel. When I was in 9th grade I used to get picked on by immature guys that had nothing else to do but to point out my big nose. I hated that a lot, and did everything I could to hide my nose. Now (three years later) I just try to be myself and it works. When ever someone points out the size of my nose I ignore those people. I think that having a big nose is a challenge that some people have to face to learn how to love oneself and prove others that being pretty is not everything, and also, not all pretty girls are nice they tend to have more negative points than average looking people.

GIRL! I feel you. I didn't realize I had a big nose until middle school when my 6th grade crush denied me because of my big nose. And then I made the biggest mistake of cutting my hair super short, like spiky short. So middle school ended up being the worst three years of my life. But I learned how to work it, as you should too. Or even doing little trick in class, or anywhere in that fact. I would sit on class leaning against one of my hands so I could hide my big problem. Cute hair cuts, cute sunglasses, and some well done make up. I've learned to live with it. And I'm not trying to sound conceited, but I have guys, AND JEALOUS GIRLS WITH WHIMPY SMALL NOSES, looking at me all the time. And I have an adorable boyfriend who I wantto spend the rest of my life with. And there are plenty of things you can do to take away from the size of your nose. I personally think having long bigger hair makes the size of my nose to appear being smaller. And I don't dress like other girls you see walking down the streets. I make sure my clothes and hair color call out just as much attention as my nose. And I have tattoos as well, which might pull even more attention away from my nose. And remember this, every time some self conscious low life decides to point out how large your nose is, that that is probably the only thing they can point out "wrong with you". Every time someone decided to pick a fight with me or something I couldn't help, I pick a fight right back. Throw them out to the wolves. Remind them that if that's the only thing they can make fun of you for, that you can turn around and make fun of them for something so much more important. They're personality. Rock your big nose Missy! And remember that high school is full of rude teenagers who think they are "soooo cool". Check out my Facebook and see what I mean. I'm just as beautiful as any other girl out there.

heyy, were identical twins who are freshmens in high school and were skinny and yes we can admit we have big noses. But which is really hard to believe because were mexican americans and not alot of them have big noses. we started getting made fun of the first year of middle school of 6th grade. the names that people call us are "tucan sam" which is the bird from the frootloops commercial, "big nose", "witch", "dog face", "pinochio", and sometimes my big sister just to get attention she says that we get in everyones business and says to stop being nosy because thats probably why we have big noses. But so far no one makes fun of us anymore, but only in middle school year. we have told my mom that we look ugly and its probably because we have her and my dads nose, but sometimes she feel upset because she keeps saying that were beautiful the way we are and fuck the people who tease us. we also have asked her if were older than 18 if we can get nose jobs and she said no because we'll look different and she prefers natural looks. but now that were older people are not commenting on our nose anymore, thay comment on how beautiful we look now and that their jelouse of our bodies and they consider we should take modeling. what really surprised us both is that we have alot of guys asking us out and stuff. we felt way different , now we felt beautiful. by the way we felt really ugly and affended when people say we dont look like my big sister because she looks so pretty and never gets made fun of because she has a small nose. my mom says that we look way beautifuler than her. so if anyone makes fun of you just fuck them up or tease them back because that's what we do now. don't change the way you are because god made you like this and if you change the way you are that's disrespecting god, he loves you and your look. SO DON'T CHANGE IT!!!

The truth is that you can't make your nose smaller without having surgery. I am older than you but I 100% understand what you are feeling. I have a massive nose. It's not crooked, just 3 times too big for my face. People regularly comment that it's the biggest they've ever seen and guys always say it's a shame and that there's nothing else 'wrong' with me. I get the impression not all guys are completely put off by it but they still avoid you because of what other people would think. I've never had a boyfriend but have come to realise that's the way it is and other things in life are more important. Keeping healthy and making money for yourself.

I have the same problem. I have a bump on my nose, kinda like a hook shape. All my high school years I have been bullied about it. I was called every name under the sun, such as concorde, big nose, kettle nose, etc. It really got me down. I am always self-concious about it, and think that I always will be. Its all I think people look at. I am 19 and never had a boyfriend either, which makes it worse, as I believe my nose is the reason why. I need to find someone who isn't shallow, and looks for someone unique.

Hi, If you accept your nose the rest doesn't matter. Start having confidence in yourself. I bet my nose is a LOT bigger than yours - and yes when I was in my twenties it bothered me a bit OK, a lot sometimes. But you grow out of that. The boyfriend and husband will come - there's a season for everything - just be patient... I've got a pretty wife and two lovely children (with regular noses). Bottom line - Love your nose, love yourself and the world will love you too (don’t shut people out of your live). God made you special, he made you, you.

And I can tell you I knw the comments can be hurtful, everyone use to get upset when they'd be called four eyes but that isn't nothing like walking down the hall and people calling you miss piggy or making pig noises.... But I am who I am, because this is what God wanted me to look like.

I have a very wide nose so I avoid putting blush too close to my nose so I don't bring attention to it. I also put bronzer on the sides of my nose to make it look thinner and sleeker. If you have a long nose, put bronzer at the bridge and blend. It creates a contrast and shadow which makes it look smaller or thinner. Avoid short hair cuts. I also do more to my eyes to draw attention to then. Try not to hide your nose, but rather draw attention to one of your favorite features and remember, if you don't love yourself no one else will. Act like the most confident b*tch in the place and I promise, people will start feeling the same :) a giant percentage of peoples attraction to others is by how they carry themselves and see themselves, food for thought :)

I'm 16 and going into my Junior year at high school. I've been teased and ridiculed for the size of my nose since about middle school.

Whenever I get into a fight with someone, or if somebody doesn't like me, they always target my nose. It's an easy target, but it wrecks my self-confidence. From the front, it looks okay. When I turn to the side, it feels like it sticks out a mile. I'm a short girl and really skinny, so I don't think it fits me.

I actually would consider myself to be a pretty girl. I always get told to do modeling (if I were taller) and I've had the cutest boys chasing me.

I'm very self-conscience even now, and I realize that I can't do anything about it. People need to like me for me, not because I have a big nose. I've learned to accept myself and if somebody has a problem, that's too bad.

I have inherited inconsistant levels on my nose, which I sometimes HATE! and sometimes get along with.

Also, from side on, my nose appears quite pronounced in size.

Only ever has one person outside my family told me about it, (unprompted- without me mentioning it first) and hurt slightly, but all he said was ''You are pretty- shame about the nose, but these things can be fixed''

My parents said I might be allowed a nose job at 18, but I think I probably wont, I don't want to alter myself in that way- it seems ungrateful.

I set for myself the age 26- if I'm still unhappy with it I will have it done.

Apparently, smudging black eyeliner (a teeny bit) on the sides of the nose (where your nostrils meet your face) makes a nose look narrower, but I have yet to find a way to disguise a bump. I'm looking into using make-up induced shadows to alter appearence.

also for redness around the nose, when i put on makeup i alwayss use kind of a light powder, not a dark bronzer, around my nose, like the nostrils, inbetween, stuff like that, but make sure its blended in well or else it can just look like around your nose is just white but the rest is..whatever your skintone or makeup, bronzer, etc. is.

Deer anonymous,

I know exactly how you feel, I have gotten teased about my big nose for as long as I can remember. I always felt as if people were judging me on the way I looked rather than my personality, and believe me it felt horrible. Whenever I talked to someone, even one of my friends, I couldn't help but think that they were sitting there thinking,"Wow she really does have a huge nose!" I came home crying all the time. When I finally told my parents about it, they were completely understanding. They took me to talk to a psychiatrist for a while, and I was almost immediately diagnosed with depression. After lots of medication and self-counseling,I slowly started to regain my self confidence. I tried really tried to extenuate my bright blue eyes, and my sexy lips with a bit of make up, and before long my nose was old news. My parents even offered me nose surgery, and I refused to change what God gave me. As I got older my face even started to change and my nose started to fit in better. Be strong, because no one is perfect, and if people are hurting you, tell someone you trust and say that you want it to be anonymous. That should clear up that issue. As for your self-confidence, experiment with new make-up, bring out your best features, get some cute new clothes, whatever it takes to make you feel better. If you are still really having problems, try http://nosehuggies.com/order.html, it helped me and so many others ALOT!

True beauty is all about perception. Please start to see yourself beautiful and unique. Everyday wake up in the morning and say I am beautiful and uniquely and wonderfully made. I too have struggled with this for years and to this day still do at times. Now I am beginning to say what I just told you say and more people tell me I am beautiful now than they have ever before. I have a boyfriend who I would have thought would have chose someone more prettier than me, yet he thinks the world of me, not only is he in the professional sports arena, but he could get any woman he wants. There is so much more to you than whats on the inside and I pray you begin to see it. You know that phrase thats on mirrors that says objects in view are larger than they appear, sometimes thats how we make our insecurities "larger than they really are" I am sure you are a beautiful girl with so much to give and offer, so stop fretting over this and begin to look up and live!

Fairy_Lu agony auntHey sweetie stop worrying yourself we all have flaws that we think other people will notcie, the truth is they only one who ever notices our flaws is ourselves. You are beautiful accept yourself for who you are.

Instead of trying to hide what you think is a flaw hightlight something you like about yourself your eyes or lips, if you highlight something people will always see that feature first.

Hey, don't worry about it!

I'm 13 and I've think I've got a big nose aswell. What I do is that, well do nothing. You have to realise that everyone is always has something unhappy about themselves. The people that make comments about you are just idiots because they are shallow. I usually put make-up (concealer) on my nose because I break out with tons of spots on my nose so it looks more noticeable. But I'm sorry, there is no way apart from surgery.

Aww, i bet it's not as big as your making it out to be! Every teen is self conscious about something - I'm 14 and have a big bum for example!

To proportion out your face draw focus to your best feature. If you have big eyes, then emphasize them with eye liner and mascara; if you have plump lips wear lip gloss; if you have high cheek bones, highlight them with blusher etc. Also another trick to slim your nose is make your eyes appear more closer together by wearing eye shadow on the very inner corner of the eye. But whatever you do, DON'T GET A FRINGE! Trust me it will look awful!

I must mention that there are lots of beautiful women that have large noses! Like Sara Jessica Parker, Dolly Parton, Jodie Foster, Julia Roberts, Emily Blunt...the list goes on!

My point is, don't be so self conscious of something that boys don't really care about. Just because you think that you have a big nose doesn't stop you from being beautiful. If you want a boyfriend you have to show confidence. Once you begin to love yourself others will too!

Making a Nose Appear Smaller

You can apply blush on each side of your nose which creates a "shadow" making the nose appear narrower. You could also only use eyeliner and mascara on your upper eyelids/lashes, which will draw other's eyes upward instead of looking at your nose.

Here are more suggestions:

* Another way to make your nose appear smaller, and I do this myself, is to outline the sides of your nose (on the bone) with a white/very light liner or cover stick.

* Actually you would make the contour or darker color on the out side of the nose and a highlight or lighter color on the top of the nose.

* Use a sheerer foundation, and apply bronzer on top of it: this makes things more natural, and often slimmer.

* If you have a long nose apply a small amount of darker blusher/foundation down the middle.

* Don't use blusher to contour! Blusher is used to add colour, not shadow! In short: lighter colours highlight and darker colours recede. I use a cream coloured matte eyeshadow to highlight and a pale beige/brown to shade/contour.

More Nose Make-Up Tips

* Large nose - apply shader to the nose and then subtly blend. Highlight the surrounding skin and slightly onto the sides of the nose. Keep blusher away from the nose.

* Broad nose - shade down each side of the nose taking care not to blend onto the face.

* Short nose - apply highlighter down the length of the nose from the bridge to the tip.

* Long nose - apply shader to the tip of the nose.

* Bump on the nose - apply shader to the bump.

* Crooked nose - apply shader to the side that goes out, and highlighter to the side that goes in.

I hope that helps... :)
