Finding Your Perfect Shade: The Art of Contour Matching

This is crucial, people! Choosing the wrong shade is like wearing shoes that are two sizes too small – uncomfortable and unflattering. Here’s a quick guide:

• Fair Skin: Opt for cool-toned shades that are 1-2 shades darker than your natural skin tone. Think taupe or light brown.
• Light to Medium Skin: Look for neutral or slightly warm-toned shades. Medium brown or bronze shades will work well.
• Medium to Olive Skin: Warm-toned shades like caramel or deep bronze will add a beautiful sun-kissed dimension.
• Dark Skin: Rich, deep brown shades with warm undertones will create a stunning sculpted effect.

Pro Tip: When in doubt, go for a slightly cooler tone. Warm tones can sometimes look orange or muddy on the skin.

The Contouring Masterclass: Step-by-Step Application

Alright, let’s get down to business! Here’s your step-by-step guide to achieving a defined yet soft look with the ZenaMakeup Cream Contour Stick & Brush:

Step 1: Prep Your Canvas

• Start with a clean, moisturized face.
• Apply your foundation and concealer as usual.

Step 2: Contour Placement – The Strategic Strikes

This is where the magic happens! Here’s where you’ll strategically apply the Cream Contour Stick:

• Cheekbones: Find the hollows of your cheeks by sucking them in (like you’re trying to make a fish face 🐠). Apply the contour stick in a line from the top of your ear towards the corner of your mouth, stopping about two finger-widths away from your nose.

  • Pro Tip: Start with a light hand and build up the intensity as needed. It’s always easier to add more contour than to take it away!

• Jawline: Apply the contour stick along your jawline, starting from your ear and blending towards your chin. This will help define your jaw and create a more sculpted look.

  • Pro Tip: Don’t forget to blend down onto your neck to avoid a harsh line.

• Temples: If you have a wider forehead, you can apply a small amount of contour to your temples to create a more balanced look.

  

  • Pro Tip: Don’t forget to blend down onto your neck to avoid a harsh line.

• Temples: If you have a wider forehead, you can apply a small amount of contour to your temples to create a more balanced look.

  • Pro Tip: Blend upwards into your hairline for a seamless transition.

• Nose (Optional): If you want to slim your nose, apply a thin line of contour down the sides of your nose, starting from your eyebrows and blending towards the tip.

  • Pro Tip: Use a very light hand and blend thoroughly to avoid looking like you have dirt on your nose. 👃

Let’s illustrate this with a handy table:

Area	Application Technique	Brush Recommendation	Blending Direction
Cheekbones	Line from ear towards corner of mouth, stopping 2 fingers from nose	ZenaMakeup Contour Brush	Upwards towards hairline
Jawline	Line along jawline from ear to chin	ZenaMakeup Contour Brush	Downwards onto neck
Temples	Small amount at temples	ZenaMakeup Contour Brush	Upwards into hairline
Nose (Opt.)	Thin lines down sides of nose	Small blending brush	Downwards

Step 3: Blend, Blend, Blend!

This is the most important step! Use the ZenaMakeup Contour Brush to blend the contour seamlessly into your skin.

• Cheekbones: Use the angled bristles to blend the contour upwards towards your hairline. Use small, circular motions to buff out any harsh lines.
• Jawline: Blend the contour downwards onto your neck, using the brush to soften the edges.
• Temples: Blend the contour upwards into your hairline.

• Nose: Use a small blending brush to blend the contour down the sides of your nose, focusing on softening the edges.

  • Pro Tip: Keep blending until you can’t see any harsh lines. The goal is to create a soft, natural-looking shadow.

Step 4: Highlight (Because We Deserve It!)

Now that you’ve created the shadows, it’s time to add some light! Apply a highlighter to the high points of your face, such as your cheekbones, brow bone, and the bridge of your nose.

• Pro Tip: Use a powder highlighter for a more intense glow, or a cream highlighter for a more subtle, dewy look.

Step 5: Set Everything in Place

To ensure your contour stays put all day, set it with a translucent powder.

• Pro Tip: Use a light dusting of powder to avoid caking.

Troubleshooting: Common Contouring Mistakes (And How to Fix Them!)

Even the best of us make mistakes! Here are some common contouring pitfalls and how to avoid them:

• Too Much Contour: Easy fix! Use a clean blending brush to buff out the excess product. You can also apply a light layer of foundation or concealer over the contour to tone it down.
• Harsh Lines: Blend, blend, blend! Keep blending until you can’t see any harsh lines. Use small, circular motions to buff out the edges.
• Orange Contour: Choose a cooler-toned shade that is closer to your natural skin tone. Avoid shades that are too warm or red.
• Contour Too Low on the Cheeks: This can drag your face down and make you look older. Apply the contour higher on your cheekbones, closer to your ears.
• Forgetting to Blend onto the Neck: This can create a harsh line and make your makeup look unnatural. Blend the contour downwards onto your neck to create a seamless transition.
