ZenaMakeup Masterclass: Highlighting & Contouring – The Creamy Dream Team! ✨
Alright, beauty buffs! Grab your favorite beverage (mine’s a green smoothie with a questionable amount of kale, don’t judge!), settle in, and let’s talk about the magic of highlighting and contouring. Today, we’re diving deep into the wonderful world of cream products, specifically ZenaMakeup’s revolutionary Cream Stick Duo and the perfect brush to unlock their full potential.
I’m your host for today’s beauty adventure, and as the product manager for ZenaMakeup, I’ve practically lived and breathed this Cream Stick Duo. I’ve seen it transform tired faces into sculpted masterpieces, and now, I’m here to share all my secrets with you.
Why Cream, You Ask? 🤔
Before we jump into the nitty-gritty, let’s address the elephant in the room: why cream over powder?
Think of your face as a canvas. Powder is like painting with chalk – it can be a bit dry and sometimes difficult to blend seamlessly. Cream, on the other hand, is like using oil paints – rich, blendable, and capable of creating a truly radiant, natural finish.
Here’s a handy-dandy table to further illustrate the benefits of cream:
| Feature | Cream Contour & Highlight | Powder Contour & Highlight |
|---|---|---|
| Blendability | Super Blendable, Melts into Skin | Can be Patchy, Requires More Buffing |
| Finish | Dewy, Natural, Skin-Like | Matte, Can Look Dry |
| Longevity | Excellent, Lasts All Day | Can Fade Throughout the Day |
| Skin Type | Ideal for Dry to Normal Skin | Best for Oily to Combination Skin |
| Texture | Adds Dimension, Looks Plumper | Can Accentuate Fine Lines |
| Best For | Natural Glam, Everyday Look | Dramatic Glam, Events |

The Art of Highlighting and Contouring: A Step-by-Step Guide 🎨
Alright, let’s get down to business! Here’s a step-by-step guide to using the ZenaMakeup Cream Stick Duo and Sculpting Brush to create a flawless, sculpted look.
Step 1: Prep Your Skin 🧖♀️
Before you even think about contouring, make sure your skin is prepped and ready to go. This means cleansing, moisturizing, and applying your favorite primer. A smooth, hydrated base will help your cream products blend seamlessly.
Step 2: Contour Application ✍️
Step 2: Contour Application ✍️
Using the ZenaMakeup Contour Stick, apply the product to the following areas:
- Hollows of Your Cheeks: Find the hollows of your cheeks by making a "fish face." Apply the contour stick along this line, starting at your ear and blending towards the center of your cheek.
- Temples: Apply a small amount of contour to your temples to create the illusion of a smaller forehead.
- Jawline: Apply contour along your jawline to define your jaw and create a more sculpted look.
- Sides of Your Nose (Optional): If you want to make your nose appear slimmer, apply a thin line of contour down the sides of your nose. Be careful not to go too heavy-handed!
Pro Tip: Remember, less is more! You can always add more product, but it’s much harder to take it away. Start with a light hand and build up the intensity as needed.
Step 3: Highlight Application ✨
Using the ZenaMakeup Highlight Stick, apply the product to the following areas:
- High Points of Your Cheeks: Apply highlight to the high points of your cheeks, just above your cheekbones.
- Bridge of Your Nose: Apply a thin line of highlight down the bridge of your nose to make it appear longer and more defined.
- Cupid’s Bow: Apply a small amount of highlight to your Cupid’s bow to make your lips appear fuller.
- Inner Corners of Your Eyes: Apply a tiny dot of highlight to the inner corners of your eyes to brighten them up.
- Brow Bone: Apply highlight under your brow bone to lift and define your brows.
Pro Tip: Focus on areas where light naturally hits your face. This will create a more natural and believable glow.
Step 4: Blending is Key! 🔑
This is the most important step! Using the ZenaMakeup Sculpting Brush, blend the contour and highlight into your skin.
- Contour: Use the angled side of the brush to blend the contour in an upward and outward motion. Make sure to blend the edges seamlessly into your skin.
- Highlight: Use the tapered tip of the brush to blend the highlight in a gentle tapping motion.
Pro Tip: Use small, circular motions to blend the products into your skin. Be patient and take your time – the more you blend, the more natural the finish will be.
Step 5: Set with Powder (Optional) 🧽
If you have oily skin or want your contour and highlight to last even longer, you can set them with a light dusting of translucent powder. This will help to lock everything in place and prevent your makeup from sliding around.
Troubleshooting: Common Mistakes and How to Fix Them 🛠️
Even with the best products and techniques, mistakes can happen. Here are some common contouring and highlighting mistakes and how to fix them:
- Contour is Too Harsh: If your contour looks too harsh or muddy, use a clean blending brush to soften the edges. You can also apply a small amount of foundation over the contour to diffuse the color.
- Highlight is Too Glittery: If your highlight looks too glittery or unnatural, use a damp beauty sponge to blot away some of the excess product.
- Contour is Too Orange: If your contour looks too orange, try using a contour shade that is cooler in tone. The ZenaMakeup Contour Stick is specifically formulated to avoid this problem!
- Highlight is Not Showing Up: If your highlight is not showing up, make sure you’re applying it to the right areas and that you’re using enough product. You can also try using a slightly more shimmery highlight.
- Products are Not Blending: If your products are not blending, make sure you’re using a good quality blending brush and that you’re not applying too much product at once.
Tips and Tricks from a Pro! 🤩
Here are a few extra tips and tricks to help you master the art of highlighting and contouring:
