SimetraNose shapes explained
There isn't one “ideal” nose. Bridge shape, tip rotation, width and facial proportions all change how a nose appears — and the same nose reads differently on different faces.
Explore your nose, one feature at a time
A nose isn't one thing. Bridge, tip, width, rotation and projection each change how the whole face reads. Pick a region to see what it means and which appearances people describe most often.
The line from between the eyes to the tip. Mostly a profile feature: it can be straight, softly sloped or convex, and it sets how the whole side view reads.
Shapes people ask about most
Descriptive names, not diagnoses. Start with whichever one matches what you notice.
Bulbous nose tipA tip that reads as rounded or broad from the front and the three-quarter view.
Droopy nose tipA tip that points downward in profile, sometimes more so when smiling.
Dorsal humpA bump or convex curve along the bridge, visible mainly in profile.
Straight noseA bridge that runs in an even line from the root to the tip.
Wide noseA nose that reads as broad from the front — bridge, base or both.
Upturned nose tipA tip rotated upward, showing more of the nostrils in profile.
We group shapes by what is visible — bridge, tip, width, rotation — rather than by ethnic or national labels. A nose is described by its anatomy, not by where someone is from.
