Let me just chime in here and say that in my view, your family is way out of line. To taunt you in front of others -- when you have asked them to stop -- is just plain cruel.
I know exactly what kind of nose you have, because it's the nost my best friend has. And you sound very pretty. Perhaps there is a bit of jealousy on their part? Perhaps you could come up with a few things to keep in your mind to say when this happens in front of others, things like:
-- My family seems obsessed with my nose. I think they're jealous.
-- Hey, it came from their genes.
-- I think I must be adopted. My family is way too sensitive about my nose.
Or just this: "I love my nose." And then leave silence.
And you should know that you are in GREAT company as far as noses that other people love. It sounds like your nose resembles the shape of Halle Berry's nose, and hers is the nose that plastic surgeons get the most requests for. Sally Field has a nose like yours. So does Victoria Beckham. None of them have particularly strong bridges.
Here's a pic of Katie Holmes, Cameron Diaz and Blake Lively, and none of them have strong bridges in my view. Jennifer Aniston does, but then, what doesn't Jennifer Aniston have, LOL?:
The most important sentence to me that you wrote was "You are absolutely right that my nose looks fine." I love that you can see that and say that and that you know that your family is wrong. And when you are older and have children of their own, I know one thing for certain: You'll never tease them about any aspect of their looks. And they will be happy, happy souls.

It looks to me like Kate Beckinsale also has a similar nose, and this picture is good enough that it might help you with the makeup:
