How To Contour Your Nose According To A Professional Make-Up Artist
Like most millennials, the first evidence of nose contouring I saw came courtesy of Kim Kardashian and her make-up artist Scott Barnes in 2015. The grainy image uploaded to Instagram caught the SKKN By Kim founder mid-glam with a paint-by-numbers-style arrangement of contour streaks all over her face, which, even before being blended out, proved how effective light and shadow trickery could be when creating a sculpted look. Kardashian and Barnes weren't inventing the wheel here, this artful face contouring hack is steeped in history - it was once most closely associated with stage performers. Ballet make-up in particular has long drawn on the art of contouring to emphasise character traits in productions. Nonetheless, a decade ago that candid snap spread like wildfire, igniting a whole new generation of beauty buffs intent on snatching everything from their cheekbones to their décolletages, legs and noses. Nose contouring especially is enjoying a revival at the moment, with 34.2K TikTok tutorials dedicated to mastering the art. The latest viral nose contouring video to blow up our feeds is all about lifting - so can you really paint on a nose job in seconds? With a cool 5.4 million views and counting, the video sees beauty content creator @velabeauty draw up what she calls a 'lifted nose contour'. Inspired by TikToker @kittyprincessgat, using the E.l.f Cosmetics Halo Glow Contour Beauty Wand, £9, the lifted look begins with two dots of contour at the base of the nose near the nostrils, followed by a horizontal line over the tip of the nose and two lines painted down the bridge, before everything is carefully and thoroughly blended out with fingertips. The results are impressive and @kittyprincessgat even questions, 'is this nose catfishing?' From lines to dots, circles and crosses, in the last few years we've seen a real evolution of nose contouring hacks crafted to alter the look of our noses with a few quick swipes. Some rather niche methods - presumably produced to pick up views on TikTok - have promoted using tweezers, bobby pins and forks to take the guesswork out of product placement. As someone who contours her nose every day, I can attest to its transformative powers. Before getting a liquid nose job, I looked to contouring to help me define and lift my nose shape. Even thought I unapologetically adore my post-filler nose, I still never consider my make-up routine complete without a little Kim-Kardashian-style contouring. 'Nose contouring is all about defining the nose,' says make-up artist and Grazia Beauty Panel member, Lan Nguyen-Grealis. 'You can create the illusion of more symmetry (if that's your MO) with make-up. It's standard practice with a lot of my clients and it's a long-practiced way of balancing features where there's the desire to do so.' When picking the right products to contour with, Nguyen-Grealis advises sticking to cream sticks and powder that are 'no more than two shades darker than your skin tone and they should have taupe undertones rather than orange'. As for highlighting, again use a cream stick or powder that is one to two shades lighter than your skin tone. Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, trying the nose contouring hack It's easy to get this hack wrong because the placement is pretty precise. To avoid mistakes, Nguyen-Grealis recommends being light-handed when it comes to application. 'Using a small brush to apply will help give a more natural and accurate finish as you'll end up with less product build-up and it affords greater precision. Sometimes applying the contour direct to skin delivers a look that's too harsh and obvious, because the resultant streak is more difficult to blend out, especially if you're a beginner.' Nguyen-Grealis warns against using shimmery products, 'they reflect too much light to look like a natural contour,' she adds. Now for the fun part, Nguyen-Grealis explains her three steps to the perfect nose contour: Base: Start off with your usual base and ensure everything is blended in well. Contour: Using your contour stick or with a straight edge or angled brush, draw two straight lines down the sides of the nose. Start from the inner corner or your eyes following the side of the natural bone structure. Add some shadow under the tip of your nose to lift it and blend. Highlight: Using a concealer or highlighter apply straight down your nose bone in the centre and dot it at the highest point of the tip of your nose. Then evenly blend with a small fluffy brush or beauty blender sponge. Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, trying the nose contouring hack 1. Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Contour Wand What the brand says: This creamy liquid formula that is both buildable and blendable, and provides a natural-looking sculpted finish. What we know: Viral and frequently duped for good reason, the wand is enriched with treated pigments that lend a natural, uniform contour, and siloxanes that give the product its light and breathable consistency. Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, says: 'I havent been able to part with this since I was first introduced to it last year. Having always favoured cream compacts, this wand offers a featherweight yet seriously pigmented formula that is easy to apply just about everywhere thanks to its sponge applicator. Importantly, the shades on offer are rich and cool, so I was easily able to find my match with Tan, which offers up a medium-deep hue that chisels while lending my skin some glow.' Pros Easy to use wand appliator Shades are cool not orange Cons 2. Victoria Beckham Beauty Contour Stylus What the brand says: 'A slim, targeted sculpting stick that takes the guesswork out of contouring, for smooth, controlled application.' What we know: Victoria Beckham certainly knows how to set a trend and her beauty brand's take on contouring has just done that. Pulling away from chunky contour sticks that don't allow much room for precision, this Contour Stylus fashions as the antidote with a blendable, nifty stick that allows you to get really precise. Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, says: 'As a nose contouring obsessive, this product has been a real game-changer. I can forgo brushes and beauty blenders completely and rely on this stick and my finger tips alone. I especially love being able to create precise lines around the tip of my nose for a more believable, lifted look.' Pros Small and precise Super blendable Cons Won't cover larger areas easily 3. E.l.f. Cosmetics Halo Glow Contour Beauty Wand What the brand says: This contour wand features a cushion-tip applicator that helps to create a natural-looking sculpted and radiant complexion. With a liquid texture, the formula is easy to work into the skin and blends with ease. What we know: Another viral beauty buy, this is the same product used by TikTokers @velabeauty and @kittyprincessgat, and we can see why. Its foolproof applicator and easy to blend formula means you can contour your nose in 30 seconds flat, plus the formula is enriched with 2% skin-loving and hydrating squalene to make you glow. Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, says: 'With an easy-to-use applicator, blendable glow-giving formula and accessible price point, it is hard not to love this product. It provides natural definition that can be built up and always leaves my skin with covetable radiance.' Pros Affordable Small and easy to carry Cons Shades can appear more warm than cool Sameeha Shaikh is Grazia's beauty writer, covering all categories to bring you insights on the latest trends, industry news and the products you need to know about, viral or not (most probably viral).

We Tried The Lululemon Maxi Dress Everyone's Obsessed With – And Yes, It's Worth the Hype
What's the most fashion forward dress you can wear this summer? That viral Nobody's Child polka dot dress? A celeb-approved Dôen dress? Neither, actually, if the internet is to be believed. No, it would seem that the dress of the season is a maxi from Lululemon. You might be more familiar with Lululemon as the go-to spot for buttery soft Align leggings and athleisure sets that take you from Pilates to brunch with ease, but the activewear brand evidently has a few more tricks up its sleeve. The most recent addition that's calling our attention is the brand's 2-in-1 maxi dress. Unlike most dresses we wax lyrical about, the Lululemon 2-in-1 maxi is simple and largely devoid of intricate details and trendy patterns. Yet, it more than manages to justify its £128 price tag thanks to its genius versatile design. As the name suggests, the dress can be worn two ways: as a strapless drop-waist maxi, and as a long skirt with the bodice folded over. As well as offering an easy blank canvas that can be dressed up or down with ease, the maxi dress also benefits from the brand's activewear know-how and is crafted from its signature four-way stretch, sweat-wicking and naturally breathable fabric that feels luxe while keeping you comfortable and looks good on an array of body types. ©Instagram/@christinalasekstyling 2-in-1 Maxi Dress in Green I could go on and on about how effortlessly elegant and wearable the Lululemon maxi dress is, but that's no use to you without some styling guidance, and the multi-wear dress presents an array of styling options. On our Instagram feeds, influencers are sporting the strapless dress with a raffia bag and wedge heels or suede sandals for a relaxed sunny day. Of course, you could also lean into the athleisure of it all and wear the dress with a denim jacket and chunky trainers or dress it up with kitten heels and plenty of gold jewellery. As a skirt, it'll work wonders with a baby tee and elevated flip flops on holiday, while a boho blouse and cowboy boots will put you in a festival state of mind no matter if you're heading to Glastonbury or not. The Lululemon website proclaims that the dress is 'voted most versatile', and if I'm being honest, we're inclined to agree. As with most viral hits, the 2-in-1 maxi is also selling out fast, so if you manage to find your size in stock, we suggest you skip the hesitation. Trust us, this is a dress you'll be wearing multiple ways for years to come. 2-in-1 Maxi Dress in Black 2-in-1 Maxi Dress in Brown 2-in-1 Maxi Dress in Ivory Main image credits: ©Instagram/@meg_legs @iamcarissarenee Hitanshi Kamdar is a senior commerce writer for Grazia.

Inside Sam Thompson's love life after Zara McDermott split and why they really broke up
Sam Thompson has been in the spotlight for his relationships as well as his appearances on Made in Chelsea, I'm A Celebrity and Soccer Aid Sam Thompson has been participating in a strenuous challenge ahead of this year's Soccer Aid for UNICEF. The Made in Chelsea star and I'm A Celebrity winner has been competing in Match Ball Mission throughout this week, with his progress being broadcast on ITV's This Morning. He's been transporting the Soccer Aid match ball over 260 miles from Stamford Bridge to Old Trafford in preparation for this year's game. Every mile, whether on foot or by bike, Sam is aiming to raise as much money as possible to support UNICEF's work for children worldwide - and he's expected to cross the finish line on Friday, June 6, which will also be televised on This Morning. Before the completion of his colossal task, we delve into the 32-year-old's love life following his recent break up with Zara McDermott. Reality star turned documentary maker Zara is now dating One Direction's Louis Tomlinson - who coincidentally is participating in the Soccer Aid match alongside Sam on Sunday, June 15 at Old Trafford. Sam and Zara's romance Sam and Zara started dating in early 2019, shortly after she had finished her stint on Love Island where she was involved with self-proclaimed ladies' man, Adam Collard, reports Wales Online. At that time, Londoner Sam was in a relationship with fellow Made In Chelsea cast member Sophie Habboo (now married to fellow MIC and Strictly star Jamie Laing and expecting her first child) but it wasn't long before Zara and Sam became official and Zara soon joined the cast of the E4 reality show. Zara and Sam found themselves in troubled waters towards the end of 2019 amid rumours Zara had been unfaithful with music executive Brahim Fouradi during her time on X Factor: Celebrity, according to Hello! Initially, Zara refuted the cheating rumours, but she ultimately came clean in an emotional apology posted online in October 2020, after the affair hit the headlines. In a tear-jerking Made in Chelsea episode aired that same month, viewers watched as Zara pleaded with Sam for his forgiveness – that scene has since turned into a viral meme, which they've both learned to laugh about. Sam chose to put the past behind them, and the couple's move to their pad in Chelsea, close to Sam's sister Louise, was documented by their comical TikTok updates. Why did Sam and Zara split? Rumours that the pair had parted ways began circulating at the beginning of 2025, following a five-year romance. Speculation pointed to their separate celebrations over the festive period – Sam was volunteering for charity while Zara spent Christmas with her family in Upminster; Sam partied at Kensington Roof Gardens come New Year's Eve, as Zara opted for a quieter evening. The pressures of their demanding schedules were blamed for the root cause of their break up. Their last public outing as a couple was to celebrate Zara's birthday in December 2024, where Sam shared a heartfelt Instagram post calling Zara his "soulmate". Who is Sam now dating? Sam, who recently opened up about his autism diagnosis, has reportedly been in a relationship with Love Island's Samie Elishi since April. However, when questioned about her support during his Soccer Aid challenge, he told MailOnline: 'I feel like... this is so much more than who I'm dating or hooking up with. And I feel like it would take away from what it is going on. You know what I mean? "You know, If I had a wife or something like, like a girlfriend of years it might be a different. I just think that I don't want to do anything that will take away from this challenge and UNICEF - the spotlight needs to be on them. Like, I'm literally a vehicle. That's how I'm seeing it. I'm just a thing that is running to try and make money, so I want to keep it that way." Meanwhile, Zara has been dating One Direction's Louis Tomlinson following her break up with Sam, and Louis is set to return to the Soccer Aid line-up.
