Snub Nose vs Button Nose: How to Tell Them Apart
Both are short noses. A snub nose is clearly upturned, so your nostrils show from the front. A button nose is small and rounded with only a slight upturn.
Comparison
| Snub | Button | |
|---|---|---|
| Length | Short | Short |
| Tip | Strongly upturned | Rounded, slightly up |
| Nostrils from front | Visible | Mostly hidden |
| Size | Small to medium | Small |
How to tell
Look straight into a mirror. If you can see a lot of your nostrils, you're snub. If the tip is round and small and the nostrils are mostly hidden, you're button.
Use the nose shape detector, or read about snub and button noses.
