red-nosed
Sniffly facial feature
Red-nosed describes someone or something with a nose that is red, typically from cold weather, drinking, or a skin condition like rosacea.
The word appears most famously in "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer." A red-nosed drunk suggests chronic alcohol use, which can cause persistent facial flushing.
