The crooked nose is one rare kind, but it occurs in some people who either have sustained injuries on the nose, or fractures, or were simply born that way. For people born with a nose that is crooked, it is believed to be saddled, a deformity from stage two congenital syphilis. Regardless of how one got it crooked, the nose does stand out as unique and different.

The crooked nose is one characterized by a typical bump at the tip. The tip also faces sideways giving it a crooked look.

Celebrities and Actor with Crooked Nose

Celebrities have this kind of nose too. In a modern world where TV actors are idolized this may not be seen as unattractive. These celebrities walk tall and still look cute, not to mention they are successful too. So the looks do not really matter I guess.

If you thought that looks did matter, especially when one has a nose that is crooked then you are quite mistaken. Apparently, people with crooked noses are known to be good humored and easy going and hence they tend to be very popular. They are fun loving and are the best people to be around.

Ironically, women find these celebs attractive despite their crooked type of a nose. Some attest it to the fact that it projects a macho character. However, like most facial blemishes, it carries an annoying double standard. Women with crooked looking noses are frowned at and it would greatly affect their self-esteem, while men on the other hand are admired. Fortunately, for women they do not have these noses as they keep off rough games and fistfights or they recognize the double standard and get it fixed with rhinoplasty.

Unlike other kinds of noses though, very few people would get a crooked nose job regardless of how much they love and admire the likes of Ashton Kutcher and Owen Wilson.

Crooked Nose Causes

A nose that is crooked can be caused by trauma. Nasal bones are the most commonly fractured bones in the face, and fractured nasal bones are a leading cause of a crooked nose. People in high-risk careers, such as boxers most often than not have suffered from a broken nose. When the bone heals, it would most likely not go back to its normal location, giving the nose a crooked appearance. Disregarded or reduced nasal fractures usually result in a nose that is crooked associated with surface dents and abnormalities.

Some noses become crooked at a young age as the nasal bones of children are soft and the slightest trauma during childbirth or play could damage the shape of the nose. The septum may also be deformed or infected with syphilis leading to malformation. Practices such as abuse of cocaine could lead to the formation of ulcers, which could permanently deform the nose.

It could also be a result of rhinoplasty gone wrong. Cosmetic surgery is a very delicate procedure and the slightest slip-up during surgery could leave the beauty seeker with a such a nose for life.

How to Fix a Crooked Nose

One natural method would be to apply a darker foundation to the side with the pronounced bend. Next, apply a lighter shade of foundation on the opposite side. Blend well, and keep your lines straight to give the illusion of evenness. Another way would be to avoid too-dark lipstick, which can draw attention to the center of the face. Also, consider parting your hair to the side. If you have nose that goes crooked on the right side, create a part that falls to the left, for instance.

You can also apply a creamy highlighter straight down the bridge of the nose. This technique helps reflect light away from any unevenness. To soften bumps on the nose you can apply a darker shade of foundation right onto the bump and blend. Diffuse the bump ever further by applying a lighter shade of foundation on each side of the bump from the top of the nose down to the nostrils.

However skillfully you apply the makeup, it does not change the fact that your nose is still crooked. The permanent solution for you would be Rhinoplasty.
