Brilio.net - Makeup is not just the art of decorating the face, but it can also be an optical illusion tool that can drastically change the shape of the face. With the right technique, makeup can make the face look slimmer, the chin sharper, and even correct the shape of the nose to make it look smaller or sharper. It is no wonder that many people use makeup not only to beautify, but also to reshape the structure of the face as desired.
One of the areas of the face that is most often the focus of transformation is the nose . For some people, a nose shape that is considered too big, wide, or asymmetrical can reduce self-confidence. This is where contouring techniques play an important role. With the play of shadows and highlights, makeup artists can create the illusion of a slimmer and higher nose without the need for surgical procedures.
However, there are also many who feel that contouring alone is not enough. For more instant and dramatic results, many people now rely on additional aids such as facelift tape and silicone fake noses. Facelift tape is used to pull the skin of the face to make it look tighter and lifted, while silicone fake noses are inserted to shape the nose to look taller and smaller in an instant.
Although these tools can make the nose smaller and sharper, there are also those who choose other simple tools, such as tape. This was once demonstrated directly by Instagram user @feelxsigma. Through one of the videos uploaded, he had time to show the transformation of a nose that initially looked big, to be sharper only with tape.
As reported by briliobeauty.net from Instagram @feelxsigma on Friday (6/6), makeup transformations are often astonishing, especially if the end result can make someone's face look completely different from the original. As seen in the Instagram upload @feelxsigma, a woman with a nose shape that was originally large and wide, managed to appear with a slim nose and a slimmer face thanks to a touch of makeup and one surefire trick, the use of tape to reduce the nostrils. This trick not only disguises the original shape of the nose, but also helps create the illusion of a taller and smaller nose instantly.

Before makeup, the face looks plain with visible pores, unformed eyebrows, and undefined lips. The nose appears dominant in the center of the face, with a fairly wide lobe shape and a flat base. The highlight of the face is still centered in the center, making the appearance look flat and without dimension. This is a common appearance without a touch of makeup, where the contours of the face are not yet clearly defined.

After makeup, there is a drastic change. The nose looks smaller and sharper because the lobes are pulled by the hidden tape. The contour added along the sides of the nose also enhances the slim effect, while the highlight on the bridge of the nose gives the impression of height. The eyes are also enlarged with the help of eyeliner and false eyelashes, giving the illusion of a more open and expressive face.

The makeup effect is also very pronounced on the cheeks and lips. Soft gradation blush on the cheeks gives the impression of a fresher and younger face, while the lips are polished with a glossy pink gradation that makes them look full and alive. The shape of the eyebrows is also neatly framed with a smooth arch, adding dimension to the face. A wig is attached, further perfecting the transformation to make it look like a completely different person.
This tape trick may sound simple, but it has a big impact on visually reshaping the facial structure. When combined with the right makeup techniques, the results can be very impressive, even to the point of making someone difficult to recognize. This proves that makeup does have extraordinary power, not only to beautify, but also to dramatically reshape the proportions of the face.
