I am a bit new to makeup and have nose issues. My contour still looks great and my foundation keeps coming apart. Any advice appreciated!

A good skin care/prep really helps the foundation to stick on, you can also use a bit of concealer all over your nose, if it doesn’t help try using a little bit of powder and there’s always the possibility that maybe the foundation just doesn’t work for you.
I feel that nose contour is so overrated, especially when you have a nose that suits the face (like yours). But if you still wanna try, always use a cold brown shade and build small layers, you might find creams easier to work with tho
edit/ I was looking at the photo, and I would suggest you to draw the lines more closer, I feel you made your nose bigger
Hi! You did a good job! You may also want to check and see if your primer and foundation have the same base. If they are both water based, then the issue may be something else. If one is silicone based (most likely the primer) and the other is water based, it can cause them to not like each other. Also, I find giving time between each layer helps it set before you add the next. For example, I do my skin prep, then get my eyes prepped and brows, then do my sunscreen and foundation, and while those set, I do my eyes, etc. I don’t contour, so I may not be much help there, but if it isn’t working for you, maybe try reverse contouring. In other words, add a lighter powder (not shiny) to certain areas instead of contour. I think Robert Walsh on YT has a video on this. Hope this helps! 🙂
