Can I get a straight profile with a supratip break?

February 25, 2011
Asked By:tng27 in Alabama, AL

Is it possible to have a straight profile with a slight supratip break? Or is "supratip break" another way of asking for slope? I thought about doing just a straight profile but upon research, thought a slight supratip break would make my nose look less long from the profile view. Am I thinking about the supratip break correctly? Does anyone have any pics of a straight profile with a slight supratip break? I just want to make sure I am understanding this term and the results. Thank you.

Answer: I call it a supra-tip dip. It accents a delicate tip.
