1. Why Contour? The Power of Shadows and Light 💡

Think of your face as a blank canvas, waiting to be transformed into a masterpiece. Contouring and highlighting are the artist’s tools, using the magic of shadows and light to sculpt, define, and enhance your natural features.

• Contouring (Shadows): Creates the illusion of depth and dimension. It recedes areas you want to minimize, like widening the appearance of a nose, creating sharper cheekbones, or defining the jawline.
• Highlighting (Light): Brings areas forward, emphasizing and illuminating your best features. Think brightening the high points of your cheeks, the bridge of your nose, or your cupid’s bow.

Without contouring and highlighting, your face can appear flat and one-dimensional, especially in photos. With these techniques, you can:

• Define your cheekbones: Achieve that sought-after sculpted look.
• Slim your face: Create a more streamlined appearance.
• Soften your features: Subtly reshape and balance your facial structure.
• Enhance your nose: Correct minor imperfections or add definition.
• Create a more youthful appearance: By lifting and defining.

Think of it like this: Contouring is the sculptor’s chisel, and highlighting is the artist’s spotlight! 🎭

3. Shade Selection: Finding Your Perfect Contour Match 🎨

Choosing the right contour shade is crucial for achieving a natural-looking result. The goal is to mimic the natural shadows of your face, so you’ll want to select a shade that is 2-3 shades deeper than your skin tone and has a cool undertone.

Why cool undertones? Warm-toned bronzers are designed to add warmth to the skin, while cool-toned contour shades create the illusion of shadows. Using a warm-toned bronzer for contouring can result in a muddy or unnatural look.

Here’s a general guideline to help you find your perfect match:

Skin Tone	Recommended Shade Range	ZenaMakeup Cream Contour Stick Recommendation (Example)
Fair	Light to medium taupe with cool undertones. Avoid shades that are too dark or orange.	"Cool Taupe"
Light	Medium taupe or light brown with cool undertones.	"Soft Brown"
Medium	Medium brown with cool undertones.	"Natural Contour"
Tan	Deep brown with cool undertones.	"Deep Bronze"
Deep	Rich, deep brown with cool undertones. Avoid shades that are too ashy or gray.	"Rich Ebony"

Pro Tip: Swatch the contour shades on your jawline to see how they blend with your skin. The shade should seamlessly blend in without looking orange, muddy, or ashy.

Don’t be afraid to experiment! You might need to mix two shades together to create your perfect custom contour.

4. Application 101: The Art of Placement 🖌️

Where you place your contour is key to achieving your desired look. Different face shapes require different contouring techniques. Here’s a guide to contouring for various face shapes:

• Round Face: Contour along the sides of your forehead, under your cheekbones (starting from your ear and blending towards the corner of your mouth), and along your jawline to create definition and slimness.

  • Goal: Add length and definition to the face.

• Square Face: Contour along the temples, the corners of your jawline, and under your cheekbones to soften the angles of your face.

  • Goal: Soften the angular features and create a more oval appearance.

• Heart-Shaped Face: Contour along the temples and the point of your chin to balance the wider forehead with the narrower chin.

  • Goal: Balance the proportions of the face.

• Oval Face: You’re lucky! Oval faces are generally considered well-balanced. You can contour along your cheekbones to enhance definition and add subtle sculpting to your forehead and jawline.

  • Goal: Enhance existing features and add subtle definition.

• Long Face: Contour along the hairline and under the chin to shorten the length of your face. Contour along your cheekbones to add width.

  • Goal: Create the illusion of a shorter, wider face.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to applying the ZenaMakeup Cream Contour Stick:

1. Prep your skin: Start with a clean, moisturized face. Apply your foundation and concealer as usual.
2. Locate your cheekbones: Feel for the hollows under your cheekbones. This is where you’ll apply the contour.
3. Apply the Cream Contour Stick: Draw a line along the hollows of your cheekbones, starting from your ear and blending towards the corner of your mouth. Don’t bring the line too close to your mouth – stop about two finger widths away.
4. Contour your forehead (optional): If you want to slim your forehead, apply the Cream Contour Stick along your hairline.
5. Contour your jawline (optional): If you want to define your jawline, apply the Cream Contour Stick along your jawline, starting from your ear and blending towards your chin.
6. Contour your nose (optional): To slim your nose, apply thin lines of the Cream Contour Stick down the sides of your nose, starting from the inner corner of your eyebrow and blending towards the tip of your nose.

Important Tip: Start with a light hand and build up the intensity as needed. It’s always easier to add more product than to remove it!

5. Blending Like a Boss 🌟

Blending is the key to a natural-looking contour. Without proper blending, your contour will look harsh and unnatural. This is where the ZenaMakeup Contour Brush comes in!

Here’s how to blend your contour like a pro:

1. Use the ZenaMakeup Contour Brush: The angled shape and dense, soft bristles are perfect for blending cream contour.
2. Use small, circular motions: Gently buff the contour into your skin using small, circular motions.
3. Blend upwards: Blend the contour upwards towards your hairline and downwards towards your jawline.
4. Focus on the edges: Pay special attention to the edges of the contour line to ensure a seamless blend.
5. Check your work: Step back and look at your face in the mirror to make sure the contour is evenly blended.

Pro Tip: If you’re struggling to blend your contour, try using a damp beauty sponge to soften the edges.

Avoid these common blending mistakes:

• Blending too harshly: This can cause the contour to look patchy or uneven.
• Blending in one direction: This can create harsh lines.
• Not blending enough: This can result in a noticeable contour line.

Remember: Practice makes perfect! The more you contour, the better you’ll become at blending.

6. Highlighting Harmony: Completing the Look ✨

Contouring and highlighting are like peanut butter and jelly – they’re better together! Highlighting complements contouring by bringing light to the high points of your face, creating a more sculpted and dimensional look.

Here’s where to apply highlighter:

• Cheekbones: Apply highlighter to the tops of your cheekbones to emphasize your sculpted cheekbones.
• Bridge of your nose: Apply a thin line of highlighter down the bridge of your nose to make it appear longer and slimmer.
• Cupid’s bow: Apply a small amount of highlighter to your cupid’s bow to create the illusion of fuller lips.
• Inner corner of your eyes: Apply highlighter to the inner corner of your eyes to brighten your eyes and make you look more awake.
• Brow bone: Apply highlighter under your brow bone to lift your eyebrows and make your eyes appear larger.

Choose a highlighter that complements your skin tone:

• Fair skin: Choose a champagne or pearl-toned highlighter.
• Light skin: Choose a gold or rose gold highlighter.
• Medium skin: Choose a bronze or copper highlighter.
• Tan skin: Choose a gold or rose gold highlighter.
• Deep skin: Choose a bronze or copper highlighter.

Pro Tip: Apply highlighter sparingly. A little goes a long way!

7. Troubleshooting Common Contour Concerns 🚑

Even the most experienced makeup artists encounter contouring challenges. Here are some common concerns and how to fix them:

• Contour looks muddy: You may be using a contour shade that is too warm or too dark for your skin tone. Choose a cooler-toned shade that is 2-3 shades deeper than your skin tone.
• Contour looks patchy: You may not be blending your contour properly. Use the ZenaMakeup Contour Brush to blend the contour into your skin using small, circular motions.
• Contour looks too harsh: You may be applying too much contour. Start with a light hand and build up the intensity as needed.
• Contour disappears: You may not be setting your contour with powder. After blending your contour, set it with a translucent setting powder to help it last longer.
• Contour looks orange: You are likely using a bronzer instead of a contour. Contours should be cool-toned to mimic shadows.

Remember, practice makes perfect! Don’t be discouraged if your contour doesn’t look perfect the first time. Keep experimenting with different shades and techniques until you find what works best for you.

8. Beyond the Basics: Advanced Contouring Techniques 🚀

Once you’ve mastered the basics of contouring, you can explore more advanced techniques:

• Contouring your eyes: Use a contour shade in your crease to add depth and dimension to your eyes.

9. Care & Maintenance: Keeping Your Tools in Tip-Top Shape 🧼

Proper care and maintenance are essential for ensuring the longevity of your ZenaMakeup Cream Contour Stick and Brush.

Here’s how to care for your Cream Contour Stick:

• Store in a cool, dry place: Avoid storing your Cream Contour Stick in direct sunlight or in a humid environment.
• Twist up only what you need: Avoid twisting up too much product, as it can break off.

Here’s how to care for your Contour Brush:

• Wash your brush regularly: Wash your brush at least once a week with a mild soap and water.
