Nose is one of the most important organs in every living organism. And when it comes to looking beautiful, its significance is even more important. That is the reason many of the celebrities in Hollywood often come in the limelight after having undergone nose job (a slang term for ‘rhinoplasty’ meaning a plastic surgery performed on the nose).
Will you believe that even a long way back in 1940s, female celebrities used to get their nose job done! Marilyn Monroe was one of the first celebrities to publicly admit to having plastic surgery done. Today, it is an open secret that many celebrities in Hollywood like Angelina Joulie, Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Aniston, Ashlee Simpson etc have already got their nose operated to make it look more beautiful. Besides them, even desi actresses in many other -woods like Bollywood, Mollywood, Kollywood etc have also undergone rhinoplasty. eg Shilpa Shetty, rakhi Sawant and Sherlin Chopra - to name a few.
Now let us take a quick look at different types of noses that people have.
ROMAN NOSE = a nose with a slight bump on the upper part of the nose bridge.
GREEK NOSE = a nose that has a straight bridge, without a hump or a bent.
HAWK NOSE = a nose which is convex (bent outwards) in all its length.
CELESTIAL NOSE = a nose which is concave (bent inwards) in all its length.
SNUB (adj) = short, fat and turned up at the end. (e.g. a SNUB-NOSED child)

I don't know if it's a snub nose or Clestial... It's like a combo of both... but it's CUTE!!
ha ha ha .
I've got a roman nose and my boyfriend has a greek nose
Don't forget African noses or rather, noses that are large, broad and flat with large nostrils?
I think mine is a mixture of lots of different kinds!
Narrow at the top with a bump, but it turns up at the bottom a little bit.
I know family with bulbous noses at the bottom - what does that mean?
Everyone seems to use different categorisation words, maybe they're being PC?
Aboriginals, Ainu in Japan, Africans, some Indians, Mediterraneans with African heritage, and Native Americans all have largish noses? I have heard these guys or some of these guys broadly referred to as Negroid (an iffy word for some still :-P) in 'Communications From Heartstar'.
Then Aryan, Mongol, etc.
