small nose

Delicate facial protrusion

A small nose is simply a nose of modest size relative to the face.

The phrase appears in physical descriptions, often as an aesthetic observation: She had delicate features—a small nose and wide-set eyes.

Unlike expressions like "big mouth" or "hard nose," small nose carries no figurative meaning and functions purely as literal description.
