FORKING out for a nose job will typically cost you thousands – but one woman has revealed she swears by a £3 Amazon bargain to change the shape of her nose.
Rather than spending heaps of money on rhinoplasty and plastic surgery, the savvy beauty enthusiast Isabelle Lux practised something called nose taping.
According to the stunner, who applies tape on her nose every time she goes to sleep, the process is ''super easy'' – and it costs just pennies.
To do your at-home nose job, you will need kinesio tape that can be ordered from Amazon for around £3.
Kinesiology tape – also known as K-tape – is a popular product in the sports community, as it helps keep your joints in place and reduce the risk of injury while exercising.
The relatively affordable tape, which comes in a range of different colours, also lasts ages, as you only snap off as much product as you need – and in Isabelle's case, it was a teeny amount.

The stunner warned: ''But be careful – if you're gonna get it, make sure you get the kind that's called Soft Touch.
''That way it's actually gentle enough for your face,'' Isabelle explained in her video.
After snapping off a few tiny strips – one thinner and one thicker – the thrifty beauty fanatic peeled off the paper layer from the bottom and applied the thinner strip right underneath the tip of her nose.
When doing this, Isabelle instructed to go in an upwards motion, as this will create a lifting effect and the ''button shape''.

''I also like to hold it here for a couple of seconds – that way it doesn't peel off overnight.''
Meanwhile, the thicker piece the goes onto across the top section of your nose.
According to Isabelle, who posts under the username @isabelle.lux, the budget-friendly beauty hack should be done an hour or so after your skincare routine to ensure the skin surface is dry enough.
''It's just amazing and you can literally create any shape that you want.
''You can even go along the bridge of your nose – I personally don't get swelling around there so it doesn't do much for me.
''But if you have a really swollen nose, you can do anything – sky's the limit.''
However, whilst Isabelle may have been raving about the bargain nose job using tape, many social media users were rather sceptical and found it difficult to believe the hack did much.
One said: ''That's not how it works. You cannot reshape nose without damaging it like surgery or breaking it and then getting it fixed.''
''I only got one question – why?'' someone else was baffled.
''I refuse to believe this does anything,'' a third also wouldn't be racing to give the hack a go.
But it wasn't all negative feedback, as some fellow beauty lovers were convinced the trick had potential.
''Lowkey, there's some validity if you use medical tape because it'll help lymph drainage? Can't change structure obviously but helps with inflammation.''
''I have to try it,'' a TikTok user was sold on the taping method.
