What is a beautiful nose anyway?

I don't know about the rest of you, but after looking at so many bad noses in the "before" shots and so many tampered with operated upon noses in the "after" shots I have started to wonder what in the world a nose is supposed to look like anyway. I sometimes sense that something may be asymmetrical, or too much nostril may be showing, but then I feel I have completely forgotten what is right and wrong about a nose's appearance. These photos of models and actresses (below the photos of me) are meant to be a reminder, a litmus test, of what a beautiful nose can be. In my efforts to collect these photos I have also realized that often a strong nose can be a beautiful thing as well, so maybe I want to try to change things, but not as drastically as I might have imagined. Some top models have stronger noses. I actually like having a strong, exotic appearance. Getting a little upturned "perfect" nose may not be the way I wish to go.

Myself, some editing on the photo. I smoothed out the shadows on the sides of my nose slightly.

Myself, smoothed out the photos on the side of my nose. My nose looks really small here.

This is a beautiful nose, but more pointed. Notice how a natural nose really isn't that upturned.

 Which nose is right for me?

A stronger nose.

Another stronger nose

This nose is less strong but also beautiful.

A stronger nose.

Definitely a strong nose, but she is still beautiful. Notice how the bulbous tip does hang down a little. On operated noses the tendency is to raise the tip and expose more nostril.

Another stronger nose.

Strong nose.

Nice stronger nose.

I would also consider this a stronger nose.

Stronger Nose.

Stronger nose... her nose is very steep just like mine.

This nose isn't as strong but it's not small either.

I don't think I would want her nose, but it is an example of a woman with a long nose where the nose adds to her beauty.

You can see the nostrils but not because the tip doesn't hang down. It does.

Her nose may be a smaller version of mine?

This nose is beautiful.

Another strong type nose.

This was one of the few surgery photos where I liked the nose in the After very much. It doesn't appear too upturned.

Also a little stronger. This nose looks like the operated nose above.

I find her profile and nose to be beautiful. I don't know if this would work on me.

Uma Thurman's nose is a lot wider in the space between the eyes than mine. The width seems to stay the same from top to bottom, almost.

Note you can't really see the nostrils.

A beautiful nose.

You can see her nostrils from the head on shot, but notice the curve of the tip is still visible between them.

A unique nose.

Again, you can see the nostrils, but also the curve of the bulbous area between the nostrils.

Angelina has come to represent beauty and it's standard. But notice we can't see her nostrils at all. Also, the nose is very symmetrical and has width from top to bottom. Looks quite small in this photo.

We can see her nostrils but we can still see that her tip is dipping down

A beautiful profile. But this look may look better on shorter, rounder faces.

Perfectly symmetrical.

Beautiful nose but really little and good on a smaller rounder face.

We can see her nostrils...

Some say I slightly resemble her.

She has a longer nose, like me.

I always found this woman to be stunning.

Sometimes there is a little bump at the tip.
