She looks super fab! but I was taken aback by the comments people had on the blog suggesting that she got a nose job.

People SHE DID NOT! all makeup artists will agree that she simply CONTOURED her nose.

A popular contour is the nose contour, where you use a dark foundation on the sides of your nose, and a light foundation on top of your nose. It looks like this:

After marking/contouring the face, you now Blend to create a flawless finish. This is how Kim Kardashian creates that “plastic” look
