Let’s get started!

I. Why Cream Contour? Ditching the Powdered Past! 🤔

For years, powder contour reigned supreme. But listen up, honey, times are changing! Cream contour offers a plethora of advantages, making it a must-have in your makeup arsenal:

• Natural Finish: Cream formulas melt seamlessly into the skin, creating a more natural, lit-from-within sculpt. Think “subtle shadow” not “obvious stripe.”
• Hydrating: Many cream contours are infused with moisturizing ingredients, perfect for dry or mature skin. Say goodbye to cakey, dehydrated contour! 💧
• Buildable: You have complete control over the intensity. Start sheer and build up to your desired level of definition. No more accidental Oompa Loompa moments! 🧡
• Blendability: Cream formulas blend like a dream, ensuring a smooth, diffused finish. Think airbrushed perfection, but achievable in your bathroom! 🪞
• Versatile: Cream contour can be used on its own, under powder contour for extra definition, or even as a cream bronzer. Talk about multi-tasking! 💪

Think of it this way: Powder contour is like a photograph – static and defined. Cream contour is like a painting – fluid, dynamic, and full of life! 🎨

III. The Contouring Masterclass: Step-by-Step Guide! 👩‍🏫

(Time for the fun part! Let’s get our hands dirty… with makeup, of course!)

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use the ZenaMakeup Cream Contour Stick and Brush to achieve a flawlessly sculpted look:

Step 1: Prep Your Canvas! 🎨

• Start with a clean, moisturized face.
• Apply your foundation and concealer as usual.
• Set your under-eye area with powder to prevent creasing.

Step 2: Strategically Stripe! 🦓

• Using the ZenaMakeup Cream Contour Stick, apply the contour directly to the areas you want to define:

  • Cheekbones: Suck in your cheeks to find the hollows. 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.
  • Jawline: Apply the contour stick along your jawline, starting from your ear and moving towards your chin.
  • Temples: Apply a small amount of contour to your temples, blending it into your hairline.
  • Nose: (Optional) Apply thin lines of contour down the sides of your nose bridge. You can also contour the tip of your nose for a shorter, more upturned appearance.
• Important Note: Less is more! You can always add more product, but it’s harder to take it away. Start with a light application and build up the intensity as needed.

(Here’s a table showing where to apply contour based on face shape. Feel free to add illustrations!)

• Cheekbones: Suck in your cheeks to find the hollows. 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.
• Jawline: Apply the contour stick along your jawline, starting from your ear and moving towards your chin.
• Temples: Apply a small amount of contour to your temples, blending it into your hairline.
• Nose: (Optional) Apply thin lines of contour down the sides of your nose bridge. You can also contour the tip of your nose for a shorter, more upturned appearance.

Important Note: Less is more! You can always add more product, but it’s harder to take it away. Start with a light application and build up the intensity as needed.

(Here’s a table showing where to apply contour based on face shape. Feel free to add illustrations!)

Face Shape	Contour Placement
Round	Contour the sides of your forehead near the temples, under your cheekbones (following the hollows of your cheeks), and along your jawline to create the illusion of more angles.
Square	Soften the angles of your face by contouring the corners of your forehead and the corners of your jawline. Blend thoroughly.
Oval	Contour under your cheekbones to enhance their definition. Add a touch of contour to your temples if desired. This face shape generally requires minimal contouring.
Heart	Contour the sides of your forehead near the temples to minimize the width of your forehead. Contour under your cheekbones to add definition.
Diamond	Contour under your cheekbones and along your jawline to soften the angles of your face. Focus on highlighting the center of your forehead and chin.
Oblong	Contour along your hairline to shorten the length of your forehead. Apply contour under your cheekbones and along your jawline.

Step 3: Blend, Blend, Blend! 🌪️

• Using the ZenaMakeup Contour Brush, gently blend the contour lines.
• Start by blending the edges of the contour, working your way inwards.
• Use small, circular motions to buff the contour into your skin.
• Avoid dragging the product down your face. Instead, focus on lifting and blending upwards.
• Key Tip: Don’t be afraid to blend! The goal is to create a seamless transition between the contour and your foundation.
• Pro Tip: If you find that you’ve applied too much contour, use a clean makeup sponge to gently blot the area.

Step 4: Highlight and Conquer! ✨

• Apply highlighter to the high points of your face: cheekbones, brow bone, bridge of your nose, and Cupid’s bow.
• The contrast between the contour and highlight will further enhance your sculpted features.

Step 5: Set It and Forget It! 🔒

• Set your contour with a light dusting of translucent powder. This will help to lock it in place and prevent it from fading throughout the day.
• You can also use a powder contour shade that matches your cream contour to further define your features.

IV. Contouring Dos and Don’ts: Avoiding the Makeup Mishaps! ⚠️

(Let’s avoid those contour catastrophes, shall we?)

Here are a few common contouring mistakes to avoid:

• Don’t: Use a contour shade that is too warm or too orange. This will look more like bronzer than contour. 🙅‍♀️
• Do: Choose a contour shade that is two to three shades darker than your skin tone and has a cool or neutral undertone. 👍
• Don’t: Apply contour too close to your mouth. This can make your face look droopy. 😟
• Do: Start the contour at the top of your ear and blend it towards the corner of your mouth, stopping about two finger-widths away from your nose. 👌
• Don’t: Forget to blend! Unblended contour can look harsh and unnatural. 😬
• Do: Blend, blend, blend until there are no harsh lines. 😊
• Don’t: Use a dirty brush. Dirty brushes can harbor bacteria and lead to breakouts. 🦠
• Do: Clean your brushes regularly with a gentle brush cleanser. 🧼
• Don’t: Over contour. The goal is to enhance your features, not completely change them.
• Do: Remember that contouring is an art, not a science. Experiment and find what works best for your face shape and skin tone.

V. Brush Care 101: Keeping Your Tools in Tip-Top Shape! 🧽

(A clean brush is a happy brush (and a happy face!).)

Maintaining your ZenaMakeup Contour Brush is essential for optimal performance and hygiene. Here’s how to keep it clean and in tip-top shape:

• Daily Cleaning: After each use, wipe the bristles of your brush on a clean tissue to remove any excess product.

• Weekly Deep Cleaning: Once a week, wash your brush with a gentle brush cleanser or baby shampoo.

  • Wet the bristles with lukewarm water.
  • Apply a small amount of cleanser to the bristles.
  • Gently swirl the brush on the palm of your hand or a brush cleaning mat to create a lather.
  • Rinse the bristles thoroughly with lukewarm water until all traces of cleanser are gone.
  • Squeeze out any excess water and reshape the bristles.
  • Lay the brush flat on a clean towel to air dry. Avoid standing the brush upright, as this can damage the glue that holds the bristles in place.

• Pro Tip: Use a brush cleaning mat to help remove stubborn product buildup.

• Storage: Store your brushes in a clean, dry place. Avoid storing them in a humid environment, as this can promote the growth of bacteria.

VI. Advanced Contouring Techniques: Taking it to the Next Level! 🚀

(Ready to graduate from contouring 101? Let’s explore some advanced techniques!)

• Contouring with Multiple Shades: Use a lighter contour shade to create a subtle shadow and a darker shade to add more definition.
• Cream Contour as a Base: Apply cream contour underneath your powder contour for extra definition and longevity.
• Contouring for Different Lighting: Adjust your contour application based on the lighting you’ll be in. For example, you may want to use a lighter contour shade for daytime and a darker shade for nighttime.
• Reverse Contouring/Highlighting: Instead of contouring the shadows, highlight the areas that are naturally lifted. This can create a more subtle and natural contour.

VII. Troubleshooting Common Contouring Issues: 🛠️

(Don’t panic! We’ve all been there.)

• Patchy Application: Make sure your skin is properly moisturized and primed before applying contour. Use a damp beauty sponge to blend out any patchiness.
• Harsh Lines: Use a light hand and blend, blend, blend! You can also use a clean makeup sponge to soften the edges of the contour.
• Contour Looks Muddy: You may be using a contour shade that is too dark or too warm for your skin tone. Try using a lighter, cooler-toned shade.
• Contour Fades Quickly: Set your contour with a translucent powder to lock it in place.
