The nine nose shapes, by the view that shows them

Roman nose

A raised bump on the bridge, then a straight or slightly downward line to the tip.

Common in every population; named for classical portrait busts

Aquiline nose

A bridge that curves outward in one smooth arc, like the beak of an eagle.

Common; the word is often used for Roman noses too

Hawk nose

A strongly convex bridge with a tip that hooks down over the lip.

Less common; the most convex of the bridge shapes

Greek nose

A straight bridge from brow to tip with no bump and no dip.

Often called a straight nose; the shape classical sculptors idealised

Snub nose

A short bridge that dips inward, with a tip that turns up.

Common; more so in children and in some populations

Button nose

Small, short and rounded, with a soft tip and a slight upturn.

Common; the most searched of the small nose shapes

Nubian nose

A long bridge with a wide base and broad nostrils.

Common in people of African descent and found in many populations

Bulbous nose

A rounded, enlarged tip on a bridge of any shape.

Common at every age; tip cartilage and skin thickness decide it

Crooked nose

A bridge line that bends or leans to one side when seen from the front.

Very common in a mild form; most noses lean a little
