Nose Shape Types
The nose shapes our AI identifies and their key features.
Straight
Narrow bridgeA narrow, straight bridge with a refined tip. Straight noses have minimal curvature from bridge to tip and suit subtle highlight-only contouring.
Roman
Prominent bridgeA noticeable bump or outward curve along the bridge. Roman noses have a strong profile and benefit from light shadow along the bridge sides to soften the curve.
Nubian
Wide baseA longer bridge with a wider base and broader nostrils. Nubian noses carry bold highlight well and contouring focuses on the sides of the tip.
Button
Rounded tipA shorter nose with a rounded, slightly upturned tip. Button noses look great with a light highlight down the center and minimal side contour.
Hawk
Curved bridgeA dramatic curve or hook along the bridge with a downward-pointing tip. Contouring the bridge sides and highlighting the tip creates visual balance.
Snub
Short & upturnedA short nose with a slightly upturned tip, revealing the nostrils. Snub noses suit a thin highlight line and soft shadow beneath the tip.
Bulbous
Wide tipA wider, rounded tip relative to the bridge. Contouring the sides of the tip and placing highlight down the bridge center creates a slimming effect.
