How to Get a Smaller African American Nose Tip?

User Avatar
sweetchildofmine
I have since found before and after pictures of the model I had in a previous question. Looking at her before nose, which is on the left in the pictures, her tip is significantly smaller. I was always informed by dr's that its NOT possible to get a lot of definition in a black nose. What technique is used to create a small tip like this? By creating a smaller tip and a defined bridge, does this somehow create a optical illusion that the nose is smaller than it really is? Thank you :-)
