You don’t really need a lot of things to do this makeup look. All you need is a foundation, probably the one that you are going to use on your face. Also, make sure that your foundation has medium to full coverage as you don’t want to layer on the product on your piercing.
Another thing that you need is a small angled brush probably the one that you use to fill in your eyebrows. This brush will help you get into the nooks and corner of the piercing easily. Another advantage of using a brush is that you won’t be touching your piercing with your hands, which can transfer germs to the piercing.

- Â Once you have all your tools ready, the first step is to prime the area well with a silicone based primer. The primer will fill up all the pores making the area smooth and ready for the foundation application.
- Â Once you have primed the area around your nose piercing the next step is to apply foundation. Take out just a little bit of foundation on the back of your hand, dip the angled brush in the foundation to pick just a little amount of foundation.
