Why Cream Contour? Ditch the Powder Panic!
Before we jump into application, let’s address the elephant in the room: why cream contour over powder? Well, my lovelies, here’s the tea:
- Blendability is Queen: Cream formulas melt seamlessly into the skin, creating a natural, sculpted look. No more harsh lines or looking like you accidentally face-planted in a dirt pile! 😩
- Hydration Haven: Cream contours are often infused with moisturizing ingredients, leaving your skin looking dewy and radiant, not dry and cakey. Think "lit from within" rather than "dusty artifact." ✨
- Buildable Coverage: You’re in control! Start with a sheer wash of color for a subtle definition, or build it up for a more dramatic effect. It’s like playing with Play-Doh for your face! (But way more glamorous.)
- Perfect for All Skin Types: While powder can sometimes cling to dry patches, cream contour glides smoothly over all skin types, leaving you with a flawless finish.

Understanding Your Face: Mapping Your Contouring Canvas
Before we get to the nitty-gritty of application, it’s crucial to understand your face shape. Contouring is all about enhancing your natural features and creating the illusion of structure. Think of it as playing with shadows and light to create depth and dimension.
(Insert a diagram of different face shapes with labeled contour and highlight areas. Example: Round, Oval, Square, Heart-Shaped, etc.)
Here’s a general guide to help you identify your face shape and where to focus your contour:
| Face Shape | Key Characteristics | Contour Areas |
|---|---|---|
| Oval | Forehead and jawline are similar in width. Face is longer than it is wide. | Under cheekbones, temples, along the hairline, and along the jawline (if desired). You have the most versatile face shape! |
| Round | Full cheeks, similar width and length. | Under cheekbones (to create definition), along the sides of the forehead, and along the jawline (to create a more defined jaw). Focus on creating angles! |
| Square | Strong, angular jawline, forehead and jawline are similar in width. | Under cheekbones, temples, and along the jawline to soften the edges. Blend, blend, blend! |
| Heart | Wide forehead, narrow chin. | Under cheekbones, temples, and along the tip of the chin to balance the forehead. |
| Diamond | Wide cheekbones, narrow forehead and jawline. | Under cheekbones, temples, and along the jawline (if desired). Focus on softening the angles of the cheekbones. |
| Oblong | Face is significantly longer than it is wide. | Along the hairline and under the chin to shorten the face. Also, under the cheekbones. |
| Triangle/Pear | Narrow forehead, wider jawline. | Under cheekbones and temples. Avoid contouring the jawline, as it will accentuate its width. Focus on highlighting the forehead to balance the wider jaw. |
(Remember, this is just a guide! Feel free to experiment and find what works best for your unique face.)
The Application Process: Let’s Get Sculpting!
Alright, here’s the fun part! Grab your ZenaMakeup Cream Contour Stick and Contour Brush, and let’s get started!
Step 1: Prep Your Canvas
Before you even think about contouring, make sure your skin is prepped and primed. This means:
- Cleanse: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser to remove any dirt or oil.
- Moisturize: Hydrated skin is happy skin! Apply a moisturizer that suits your skin type.
- Prime: Use a primer to create a smooth base for your makeup and help it last longer.
Step 2: Foundation First
Apply your foundation as usual. This will create a blank canvas for your contour and highlight.

Step 3: Contour Placement: The Key to Success
Now, for the magic! Here’s where you’ll use the ZenaMakeup Cream Contour Stick:
- Cheekbones: The most common area for contouring! Find your cheekbone by feeling for the hollow beneath it. Use the contour stick to draw a line starting from your ear towards the corner of your mouth. (Pro Tip: Don’t bring the line all the way to your mouth! Stop about two finger-widths away to avoid looking gaunt.)
- Temples: If you have a wider forehead, contouring your temples can help create a more balanced look. Apply the contour stick along the hairline, blending it into your forehead.
- Jawline: If you want to define your jawline, apply the contour stick along the underside of your jaw, blending it down into your neck. (Pro Tip: Make sure to blend this well to avoid a harsh line!)
- Nose (Optional): If you want to slim your nose, apply thin lines of contour down the sides of your nose, blending them towards the center. (Pro Tip: Less is more here! Start with a small amount and build up as needed.)
- Under the chin: If you want to define your jawline, apply the contour stick along the area under your chin, blending it down into your neck. (Pro Tip: Make sure to blend this well to avoid a harsh line!)

Step 4: Blending is Your BFF
This is where the ZenaMakeup Contour Brush comes in! Using circular motions, blend the contour lines until they seamlessly melt into your skin. (Pro Tip: Use a light hand and build up the color gradually. It’s easier to add more contour than to remove it!)
- Cheekbones: Blend the contour upwards towards your ear, following the natural curve of your cheekbone.
- Temples: Blend the contour into your forehead, ensuring there are no harsh lines.
- Jawline: Blend the contour downwards into your neck, creating a seamless transition.
- Nose: Blend the contour towards the center of your nose, softening the lines.
Step 5: Highlight to Illuminate
Contour and highlight go hand-in-hand! Apply a highlighter to the high points of your face, such as your cheekbones, brow bone, and the bridge of your nose, to add dimension and radiance.

Step 6: Set It and Forget It!
To ensure your contour lasts all day, set your makeup with a setting powder or spray.
Troubleshooting: Common Contouring Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
We’ve all been there! Contouring can be tricky, but with practice, you’ll become a pro in no time. Here are some common mistakes and how to avoid them:
| Mistake | Solution |
|---|---|
| Using the Wrong Shade | Choose a contour shade that is 2-3 shades darker than your skin tone. Avoid shades that are too warm or orange. |
| Applying Too Much Product | Start with a small amount of product and build up as needed. It’s easier to add more contour than to remove it. |
| Harsh Lines | Blend, blend, blend! Use the ZenaMakeup Contour Brush to seamlessly blend the contour into your skin. |
| Contouring Too Low on the Cheek | Find your cheekbone by feeling for the hollow beneath it. Contour above the hollow to create a lifting effect. |
| Forgetting to Highlight | Highlight adds dimension and radiance to your face. Don’t skip this step! |
| Not Blending into the Hairline | For a natural look, blend the contour into your hairline to avoid a harsh line. |
| Using the Wrong Brush | Use a brush specifically designed for contouring, like the ZenaMakeup Contour Brush. |
| Applying contour to a dry face | Make sure to moisturize your face first to help the contour blend evenly. |
| Not Cleaning Your Brush Regularly | Clean your brush regularly to prevent the buildup of bacteria and ensure a smooth application. |
Contouring for Different Occasions: From Subtle to Statement
Contouring isn’t a one-size-fits-all deal. You can adjust the intensity of your contour depending on the occasion:
- Everyday Look: Keep it subtle! Use a light hand and blend the contour well for a natural, sculpted look.
- Night Out: Amp it up! Use a slightly darker shade of contour and build up the intensity for a more dramatic effect.
- Special Occasion: Go all out! Contour, highlight, and bake for a flawless, red-carpet-ready look.
