1. Why Contour? (Beyond Looking Like a Kardashian)

Okay, let’s be real. We’ve all seen those contour transformations that are downright mind-blowing. But contouring isn’t just about creating a completely different face. It’s about:

• Enhancing Your Natural Features: Think of contouring as a subtle sculptor. It helps define your cheekbones, slim your nose, and sharpen your jawline – all the things you already have, just amplified! 🔊
• Creating Dimension and Depth: Without contour, your face can look a little flat, especially on camera. Contour adds shadows, making your face look more three-dimensional and interesting. 🖼️
• Boosting Your Confidence: When you feel good about how you look, you radiate confidence. And let’s face it, a well-contoured face can give you that extra little boost you need to conquer the world! 👑
• Highlighting Your Best Assets: Contour can help draw attention to your favorite features. Love your eyes? Contour can make them pop! Obsessed with your cheekbones? Contour will make them sing! 🎶

In a nutshell: Contouring is all about playing with light and shadow to enhance your natural beauty. It’s not about creating a mask, but about celebrating the face you already have! 🎉

3. Understanding Your Face Shape: The Key to Contour Success

Before we start slapping on the contour, it’s important to understand your face shape. This will help you determine where to apply the contour for the most flattering results.

Here’s a quick rundown of common face shapes and the best contour techniques for each:

Face Shape	Characteristics	Contour Placement Recommendations
Oval	Forehead and jawline are similar in width, slightly rounded.	Lucky you! Oval faces are considered the most balanced. You can contour along the cheekbones and temples to add definition.
Round	Full cheeks, soft jawline, similar width and length.	Contour along the sides of the forehead, temples, and under the cheekbones to create more definition. Contour along the jawline to create a more defined chin.
Square	Wide forehead and jawline, angular features.	Soften the angles by contouring along the sides of the forehead, temples, and jawline. Focus on the corners of the forehead and jawline.
Heart	Wide forehead, narrow chin.	Contour along the sides of the forehead to minimize its width. Add a touch of contour to the tip of the chin to balance out the face.
Oblong	Long and narrow, similar to oval but more elongated.	Contour along the hairline and under the chin to shorten the face. Apply contour under the cheekbones to add width.
Diamond	Wide cheekbones, narrow forehead and chin.	Contour under the cheekbones to emphasize them. You can also contour along the temples to soften the forehead. A touch of contour on the tip of the chin can help balance the face.
Triangle (Pear)	Narrow forehead, wide jawline.	Contour along the jawline to minimize its width. Highlight the forehead to bring it forward.

How to determine your face shape?

• Pull your hair back: Stand in front of a mirror and pull your hair away from your face.
• Trace your face: Use a lipstick or dry-erase marker to trace the outline of your face on the mirror.
• Compare the shape: Step back and compare the tracing to the descriptions above.

Don’t stress if you can’t pinpoint your exact face shape! Most people have a combination of features. Just focus on the areas you want to define and sculpt. 🎨

4. The ZenaMakeup Contour Technique: A Step-by-Step Guide

Okay, let’s get our hands dirty (figuratively, of course!). Here’s the ZenaMakeup foolproof contour technique:

Step 1: Prep Your Skin

• Start with a clean, moisturized face.
• Apply your foundation and concealer as usual. Set everything with a light dusting of powder. This creates a smooth canvas for your contour.

Step 2: Apply the Cream Contour Stick

• Cheekbones: Find the hollows of your cheeks by sucking in your cheeks like you’re trying to win a fish-face contest. 🐠
• Apply the Cream Contour Stick directly to the hollows of your cheeks, starting at your hairline and blending towards the corner of your mouth. Stop about two finger-widths away from your mouth.
• Jawline: Apply the Cream Contour Stick along your jawline, starting at your ear and blending towards your chin. This will help define your jawline and create a more sculpted look.
• Temples: If you want to narrow your forehead, apply a small amount of the Cream Contour Stick along your temples, blending into your hairline.
• Nose (Optional): If you want to slim your nose, apply a thin line of the Cream Contour Stick down the sides of your nose, blending outwards. Be careful not to make the lines too thick! 👃

Step 3: Blend, Blend, Blend!

• Cheekbones: Find the hollows of your cheeks by sucking in your cheeks like you’re trying to win a fish-face contest. 🐠
• Apply the Cream Contour Stick directly to the hollows of your cheeks, starting at your hairline and blending towards the corner of your mouth. Stop about two finger-widths away from your mouth.
• Jawline: Apply the Cream Contour Stick along your jawline, starting at your ear and blending towards your chin. This will help define your jawline and create a more sculpted look.
• Temples: If you want to narrow your forehead, apply a small amount of the Cream Contour Stick along your temples, blending into your hairline.
• Nose (Optional): If you want to slim your nose, apply a thin line of the Cream Contour Stick down the sides of your nose, blending outwards. Be careful not to make the lines too thick! 👃

Step 3: Blend, Blend, Blend!

• This is the most important step! Use the ZenaMakeup Contour Brush to blend the contour into your skin.
• Use small, circular motions to blend the edges of the contour, making sure there are no harsh lines.
• Blend upwards towards your hairline and downwards towards your jawline.
• If you’re contouring your nose, use a small, precise brush to blend the contour along the sides of your nose.

Step 4: Highlight (The Perfect Complement to Contour)

• Apply a highlighter to the high points of your face, such as your cheekbones, brow bone, and the bridge of your nose. This will help to accentuate your features and create a more radiant look. ✨

Step 5: Set Your Makeup

• Set your makeup with a light dusting of powder to help it last all day.

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

5. Troubleshooting Contour Catastrophes: Avoid These Common Mistakes!

Contouring can be tricky, but don’t worry, we’ve all been there! Here are some common mistakes to avoid:

• Using the Wrong Shade: If your contour is too warm or too orange, it will look unnatural. Choose a shade that is cool-toned and a few shades darker than your skin tone. Remember our shade matching table!
• Applying Too Much Product: Less is more! Start with a small amount of product and build up the intensity as needed.
• Not Blending Enough: Harsh lines are a contour crime! Blend, blend, blend until the contour is seamless.
• Contouring Too Low on the Cheeks: Contouring too low can drag your face down. Make sure you’re applying the contour in the hollows of your cheeks.
• Ignoring Your Face Shape: What works for one person may not work for you. Tailor your contour to your face shape for the best results.
• Skipping Highlighter: Highlighter is the perfect complement to contour. It helps to accentuate your features and create a more radiant look.
• Dirty Brushes: Using dirty brushes can lead to breakouts and a muddy application. Clean your brushes regularly! 🧽

Scenario 1: "Help! I look like I have a mud stripe on my face!"

• Cause: Too much product and not enough blending.
• Solution: Use a clean blending brush to diffuse the edges of the contour. If you’ve applied too much product, use a damp beauty sponge to blot away the excess.

Scenario 2: "My contour looks orange!"

• Cause: Using a contour shade that is too warm.
• Solution: Choose a contour shade that is cool-toned and a few shades darker than your skin tone.

Scenario 3: "My face looks flat, even with contour!"

• Cause: Not using highlighter.
• Solution: Apply highlighter to the high points of your face, such as your cheekbones, brow bone, and the bridge of your nose.

6. Beyond the Basics: Advanced Contouring Techniques

Once you’ve mastered the basic contour technique, you can start experimenting with more advanced techniques:

• Contouring Your Forehead: If you have a large forehead, you can contour along your hairline to make it appear smaller.
• Contouring Your Jawline: Contouring your jawline can help to define your jawline and create a more sculpted look.
• Contouring Your Nose: Contouring your nose can help to slim your nose and make it appear more defined.
• Contouring Your Eyes: Contouring your eyes can help to make them appear larger and more defined.
• Contouring Your Lips: Contouring your lips can help to make them appear fuller and more defined.

Zena’s Pro Tip: Use a small, precise brush for advanced contouring techniques. This will give you more control and precision.

7. Caring for Your Contour Tools: Keeping Your Brush in Tip-Top Shape

Your ZenaMakeup Contour Brush is an investment, so it’s important to take care of it! Here’s how to keep your brush in tip-top shape:

• Wash your brush regularly: Wash your brush at least once a week with a gentle shampoo or brush cleanser.
• Dry your brush properly: After washing your brush, squeeze out the excess water and lay it flat to dry. Do not stand your brush upright, as this can cause the water to seep into the handle and damage the brush.
• Store your brush properly: Store your brush in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Zena’s Pro Tip: Use a brush cleaning mat to help remove stubborn makeup residue from your brush.
