Applying contour to the sides of the nose will achieve what effect?

Make it appear slimmer
Make it appear wider
Add volume
Lengthen the nose

The correct answer is: Make it appear slimmer

Applying contour to the sides of the nose is a makeup technique aimed at creating an illusion of a slimmer appearance. By using a darker shade of foundation or contour product on the sides of the nose, the makeup creates shadows that can visually narrow the width of the nose. This technique plays on the principles of light and shadow, where the darker areas recede and lighter areas stand out, leading to a more sculpted and refined look. Contouring is widely used in makeup artistry to enhance facial features, and when executed correctly, it helps to create balance and definition, making the nose look more delicate and streamlined.
