How to Contour a Broken Nose

I hate my nose. Of all the features I’ve been blessed with, my nose is the one feature that just makes me look at my face and say, “WHYYYY?!”

During a game of tag with third grade classmates, I was running full-speed across freshly-rained-on pavement. Of course I slipped, skidded across the bumpy concrete (on my face), then slammed nose-bridge-first into the sharp metal edge of a tether ball pole base.

A fourth grade teacher who witnessed the entire event scrambled after me, swooped me into his arms, and carried me as I sobbed and wailed to the nurse’s office where all they could really do was slap a few bandaids on me (arms, elbows, knees, face, etc) before calling my mom to come get me.

I didn’t grow up with money. I have a working class family, and we’ve had to hustle for everything we have. Getting my broken nose fixed was not my parents’ first priority. Can she breathe? Yes. Is she a little banged up? Sure. Will she live? Definitely.

Problem solved.

Unfortunately, now being 28 years old and making YouTube videos + posting pictures of my face all over the web, having a broken nose has not been the easiest thing to deal with. But there’s always makeup, eh?

In this video, I show you how I cream contour my face using Anastasia Beverly Hills’ Cream Contour Kit in Fair, and how I deal with my crooked nose thanks to breaking it at such a young age. Enjoy!
