What is this kind of nose called? (Thin + streamlined)

[cbcb]

This is Simon Le Bon's wife.. she has a nose similar to mine - it's thin, though mine's not so chiseled at the tip.

My flared-nostril husband claims I have a weird nose and no nostrils to speak of. I just glower at him, but think my nose is fine. I actually kind of like it. I just haven't *defined* it.. so would welcome terminology -what's this kinda nose called? (And any clue to its ethnic origins?)

Thanks.

I don't know what I would call it...I googled to see if there was like a nose name website but I couldnt find one.

So who nose? *badumm chh*

I think that sort of nose is quite commonly requested for rhinoplasty. I would, not politically correctly call it a 'white nose' because i remember watching a plastic surgery show on tlc once and the surgeon was saying to this latino girl who wanted a slimmer more streamlined nose and she said a 'white nose' was quite commonly requested but would make no sense on her face.

When people of ethnicities change their noses to make them 'white' it always looks dumb. I mean, if a white person tried to get the Asian standard of a beautiful nose, they'd look stupid too.

Apparently she's of Iranian/Persian descent, though I don't recall that being a particularly Persian nose. (Oh, who knows, maybe she had a nose job and it's not her nose anyway!)

Well, I have a Persian background myself, and (I hope this doesn't sound bad) I can safely say that 9 out of 10 Persian women get nose jobs. It's common knowledge in the Persian community and I would say that she's probably had a nose job. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Just glanced at it, but it seems pretty comprehensive. Pics and all.

I'm just going to default to describing noses like blue jeans. Straight, flared, cropped, ankle-length, rock-washed, distressed...
