Think of this pair as your secret weapon for achieving naturally defined cheekbones, a subtly sculpted jawline, and a nose that says, "Yes, I was born this way!" (Even if you weren’t… we won’t tell 😉)
Why Cream Contour? Ditching the Powder Panic!
Before we unleash the power of our stick and brush, let’s address the elephant in the room: why cream?
For years, powder contouring was the reigning champ. But let’s be honest, it can be tricky. One wrong swipe and you’re looking like you’ve been face-painted for a tribal ceremony gone wrong. 😬
Cream contour offers a softer, more forgiving approach. Here’s why it’s a game-changer:
- Blendability Bliss: Cream formulas melt seamlessly into the skin, creating a natural, diffused shadow. No more harsh lines! Think soft, subtle, and believable definition.
- Hydration Hero: Many cream contours, including ours, are formulated with moisturizing ingredients. This is a godsend for dry or mature skin, as powder can often accentuate fine lines. Say goodbye to cakey contour and hello to a radiant, sculpted glow! ✨
- Buildable Babe: Cream contour is incredibly buildable. Start with a sheer layer and gradually add more product until you achieve your desired intensity. Control is in your hands! 🦸♀️
- Long-Lasting Love: Cream contour often boasts impressive staying power, especially when set with a light dusting of powder (more on that later!).

Shade Selection: Finding Your Perfect Shadow Mate!
Choosing the right contour shade is crucial. You want a color that mimics a natural shadow, not an orange Oompa Loompa situation. Here’s a general guide:
Skin Tone | Contour Shade Recommendation | ZenaMakeup Shade Recommendation (Example) |
---|---|---|
Fair | Cool-toned taupe or grey-brown. Avoid anything too warm, as it can look orange. | Cool Taupe (Hypothetical Zena Shade) |
Light-Medium | Neutral or cool-toned brown. Look for shades that are 1-2 shades darker than your skin tone. | Subtle Sculpt (Hypothetical Zena Shade) |
Medium | Neutral or slightly warm-toned brown. Experiment to find the perfect balance that complements your undertones. | Warm Bronze (Hypothetical Zena Shade) |
Medium-Dark | Rich, warm-toned brown or bronze. Look for shades that provide enough depth and dimension without looking muddy. | Deep Cocoa (Hypothetical Zena Shade) |
Dark | Deep, cool-toned brown or neutral brown. Avoid anything too ashy, as it can look unnatural on deeper skin tones. | Espresso Dream (Hypothetical Zena Shade) |
General Tip: | When in doubt, go a shade lighter! You can always build up the intensity, but it’s harder to tone down a contour that’s too dark. |
Remember! The goal is to create a shadow, not a stripe.
Introducing the ZenaMakeup Contour Brush: Your Blending Bestie!

Now, let’s talk about the unsung hero of this dynamic duo: the ZenaMakeup Contour Brush! A good brush is essential for achieving a seamless, blended contour. We’ve designed this brush to be your blending bestie, making contouring a breeze.
Here’s what makes it special:
- Angled Perfection: The angled shape fits perfectly into the hollows of your cheeks, allowing for precise application and effortless blending. 📐
- Dense Yet Soft Bristles: The bristles are densely packed for optimal product pickup and distribution, but still soft enough to feel gentle on the skin. No scratchy brushes here! 🙅♀️
- Synthetic Supreme: Our brush is made with high-quality synthetic fibers, making it cruelty-free and easy to clean. 🐰❤️
- Ergonomic Excellence: The handle is designed for a comfortable grip, giving you maximum control during application.
Why this brush matters? You can have the best contour product in the world, but if you’re using a subpar brush, you’re setting yourself up for disaster. Think of it like trying to paint a masterpiece with a rusty old toothbrush. You need the right tools for the job!
Contouring 101: The Step-by-Step Guide (Humor Included!)
Alright, let’s get down to business! Here’s a step-by-step guide to contouring like a pro 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. If you’re using a powder foundation, you can skip this step, but make sure your skin is well-hydrated. Dry skin and cream contour are not the best of friends. 🙅♀️
Step 2: Locate Your Cheekbones (The Key to Everything!)
This is where things can get a little tricky. The goal is to find the hollows of your cheeks. A good trick is to suck in your cheeks like you’re trying to impersonate a fish. 🐠 The line that appears is where you’ll apply your contour.
Step 3: Apply the Cream Contour!
Step 3: Apply the Cream Contour!
Using the ZenaMakeup Cream Contour Stick, draw a line along the hollow of your cheekbone, starting from your ear and stopping about two finger widths away from your mouth. Think of it as drawing a subtle shadow, not a war paint stripe.

Important Tip: Don’t bring the contour all the way to your mouth! This can drag your face down and make you look sad. We’re going for sculpted, not sorrowful. 😥
Step 4: Blend, Baby, Blend!
This is the most important step! Using the ZenaMakeup Contour Brush, blend the contour line upwards and outwards, softening the edges. Use small, circular motions to buff the product into your skin. The goal is to create a seamless transition between the contour and your foundation.
(Image: Illustration showing the blending motion with the brush)
Pro Tip: Don’t be afraid to blend! Keep blending until there are no harsh lines. If you feel like you’ve blended too much, you can always add a little more product.
Step 5: Contour Other Areas (Optional, But Recommended!)
You can also use the ZenaMakeup Cream Contour Stick to sculpt other areas of your face:
- Jawline: Apply a thin line along your jawline, blending downwards to create a more defined jaw. This is especially helpful if you have a round or square face.
- Temples: Apply a small amount of contour to your temples, blending upwards into your hairline. This can help to narrow your forehead and create a more balanced look.
- Nose: If you want to slim your nose, apply a thin line of contour down the sides of your nose, blending inwards. Be careful not to overdo it! A little goes a long way.
- Double Chin Rescue: Apply the contour along the jawline AND slightly beneath it to visually diminish the appearance of a double chin. Blend downwards!
Step 6: Highlight Time! (The Partner in Crime!)
Contour and highlight are like peanut butter and jelly, or Batman and Robin. They work best together! Apply your favorite highlighter to the high points of your face: your cheekbones, brow bone, nose bridge, and cupid’s bow. This will create a beautiful contrast and enhance your sculpted features.

Step 7: Set It & Forget It! (Optional, But Smart!)
If you want your contour to last all day, set it with a light dusting of translucent powder. This will help to prevent creasing and fading.
Step 8: Admire Your Handiwork! (You Deserve It!)
Take a step back and admire your beautifully sculpted face! You’ve officially conquered the art of cream contouring. Go forth and slay! 🔥
Troubleshooting Tips & Tricks: Because We’ve All Been There!
- Contour Looks Muddy: You’re probably using a shade that’s too warm or too dark for your skin tone. Try a cooler, lighter shade.
- Contour Looks Patchy: You’re not blending enough! Keep blending until there are no harsh lines. Make sure your skin is well-hydrated.
- Contour Disappears Throughout the Day: You need to set it with powder!
- Accidentally Applied Too Much: Don’t panic! Use a clean blending brush to diffuse the color or apply a small amount of foundation over the area to tone it down.
- Contour Looks Orange: This is a common problem, especially with powder contours. Make sure you’re using a cool-toned shade.
