They questioned whether makeup alone could create such changes, especially in the shape and tip of the nose, saying they found it hard to believe it was only styling.
When compared to her earlier nose, you really can’t convince me they’re the same. Can makeup really achieve that? I know makeup can make the nasal bridge look higher, but how does it make the tip of the nose look higher too? pic.twitter.com/SMZtGvS35e

The photos instantly sparked heated debate and mixed reactions. Some suggested her recent “time off” may be related to the rumored change.
