1. What is Contouring and Why Should You Care? (The "Why Bother?" Section) 🤔

Okay, let’s start with the basics. What is contouring, anyway? Simply put, it’s the art of using makeup to create shadows and depth on your face. We’re talking about strategically applying a product that’s darker than your skin tone to areas where shadows naturally fall.

Why should you care? Because contouring can:

• Enhance your features: Define your cheekbones, slim your nose, sharpen your jawline – the possibilities are endless!
• Add dimension to your face: Prevent your face from looking flat in photos or in general.
• Create the illusion of a more sculpted appearance: Who doesn’t want that? 😉
• Boost your confidence: When you feel good about how you look, you radiate confidence!

Think of it like this: Your face is a sculpture, and contouring is the chisel that helps you refine and perfect its form. ✨

4. Color Theory 101: Choosing Your Perfect Contour Shade! (Shade Matching Magic!) 🎨

This is where things can get a little tricky, but don’t worry, Professor Zena is here to guide you! Choosing the right contour shade is crucial for achieving a natural-looking contour.

Here’s the golden rule:

• Your contour shade should be 2-3 shades darker than your natural skin tone.

Why? Because you want to create a shadow, not a stripe of dark makeup!

Here’s a quick guide:

Skin Tone	Contour Shade Recommendation
Fair	Cool-toned taupe or light brown.
Light	Light to medium brown with neutral or slightly warm undertones.
Medium	Medium brown with warm or golden undertones.
Olive	Medium to deep brown with olive undertones.
Tan	Deep brown with warm or red undertones.
Dark	Deep brown or espresso with neutral or cool undertones.
Deep Dark	Rich, deep brown or mahogany with neutral or cool undertones.

Key Tip: Avoid shades that are too orange or too red, as they can look unnatural and muddy. Look for shades with cool or neutral undertones to mimic the appearance of a natural shadow.

Zena’s Secret Weapon: When in doubt, swatch the contour shade on your jawline to see how it looks against your skin. Natural light is your best friend! ☀️

5. Contouring for Different Face Shapes: A Personalized Approach! (Shape Shifting!) 🎭

One size does not fit all when it comes to contouring! The placement of your contour should be tailored to your face shape to enhance your natural features.

Here’s a breakdown for common face shapes:

Face Shape	Contouring Goals	Contour Placement
Oval	Maintain balance and enhance existing features.	Under the cheekbones, along the temples, and along the jawline.
Round	Create the illusion of length and definition.	Under the cheekbones (angling upwards towards the temples), along the sides of the forehead, and along the jawline.
Square	Soften the angles and create a more rounded appearance.	Under the cheekbones, along the corners of the forehead, and along the jawline (focusing on the corners).
Heart	Balance the wider forehead and narrower chin.	Under the cheekbones, along the sides of the forehead (near the temples), and lightly along the tip of the chin.
Diamond	Soften the wide cheekbones and create balance.	Under the cheekbones (focusing on the outer edges), along the temples, and lightly along the jawline.
Oblong	Create the illusion of width and shorten the face.	Under the cheekbones, along the hairline, and lightly along the tip of the chin. Avoid contouring along the jawline, as this can further elongate the face.

Remember: These are just guidelines! Experiment and see what works best for your unique features! 😊

6. The Application Process: Step-by-Step Guide to Sculpting Success! (Sculpting School!) 👩‍🎨

Okay, time to put your knowledge into action! Here’s a step-by-step guide to contouring with the ZenaMakeup Cream Contour Stick & Brush Duo:

1. Prep Your Skin: Start with a clean, moisturized face. Apply your foundation and concealer as usual.
2. Apply the Contour Stick: Using the ZenaMakeup Cream Contour Stick, draw a line under your cheekbones, starting from your ear and stopping about two finger-widths away from your mouth. Repeat on the other side. You can also apply contour along your temples, jawline, and the sides of your nose, depending on your desired look.
3. Blend, Blend, Blend!: Using the ZenaMakeup Contour Brush, blend the contour lines upwards and outwards in circular motions. Make sure to blend the edges seamlessly into your foundation for a natural finish.
4. Build if Needed: If you want a more dramatic contour, add another layer of the Cream Contour Stick and blend again.
5. Set with Powder (Optional): If you have oily skin, you can set your contour with a light dusting of translucent powder to help it last longer.

Pro Tip: Less is more! Start with a small amount of product and build up as needed. It’s always easier to add more than to take away! 😉

7. Blending Like a Boss: Achieving a Seamless, Natural Finish! (Blend it ‘Til You Make it!) 🌪️

Blending is the key to a flawless contour! A harsh, unblended line is a major makeup faux pas!

Here are some blending tips:

• Use the Right Brush: The ZenaMakeup Contour Brush is specifically designed for seamless blending!
• Use Circular Motions: Blend the contour in small, circular motions to soften the edges.
• Blend Upwards: Blend the contour upwards and outwards to lift the cheekbones.
• Be Patient: Don’t rush the blending process! Take your time to ensure that the contour is seamlessly blended into your foundation.
• Check in Natural Light: Step outside or near a window to check your blending in natural light. This will help you see if there are any harsh lines or uneven patches.

Zena’s Blending Mantra: "Blend it ’til you can’t blend it no more!" 🧘‍♀️

8. Common Contouring Mistakes (and How to Avoid Them!) 🚫

We all make mistakes! But learning from them is what makes us better! Here are some common contouring mistakes and how to avoid them:

Mistake	Solution
Using the Wrong Shade	Choose a contour shade that is 2-3 shades darker than your natural skin tone and has cool or neutral undertones.
Applying Too Much Product	Start with a small amount of product and build up as needed.
Unblended Lines	Blend, blend, blend! Use the right brush and blend in circular motions until the contour is seamlessly blended into your foundation.
Contouring Too Low on the Cheekbones	Apply contour under the cheekbones, starting from your ear and stopping about two finger-widths away from your mouth.
Using the Wrong Brush	Use a brush that is specifically designed for contouring, such as the ZenaMakeup Contour Brush.
Forgetting to Highlight	Highlighting is just as important as contouring! Apply highlighter to the high points of your face to enhance your features and create a more sculpted appearance.
Not Adjusting for Face Shape	Tailor your contour placement to your face shape to enhance your natural features.
Contouring in Poor Lighting	Contour in natural light or well-lit conditions to ensure that your contour is even and blended properly.

Remember: Practice makes perfect! Don’t be afraid to experiment and find what works best for you! 😊

9. Beyond the Cheekbones: Other Ways to Use Your Cream Contour Stick! (Multi-Tasking Master!) 🤹‍♀️

The ZenaMakeup Cream Contour Stick isn’t just for cheekbones! It’s a multi-tasking wonder!

Here are some other ways to use it:

• Slim Your Nose: Apply a thin line of contour along the sides of your nose and blend to create the illusion of a slimmer nose.
• Define Your Jawline: Apply contour along your jawline and blend downwards to create a more defined jawline.
• Create a Smokey Eye: Use the Cream Contour Stick as a base for a smokey eye. Apply it all over your eyelid and blend, then add eyeshadow on top.
• Contour Your Décolletage: Apply contour along your collarbones and blend to create a more sculpted décolletage.

The possibilities are endless! Let your creativity run wild! ✨

10. Caring for Your Tools: Keeping Your Brush in Tip-Top Shape! (Brush Hygiene!) 🧼

Your brushes are your babies! Treat them with love and they’ll treat you with flawless makeup application!

Here’s how to clean your ZenaMakeup Contour Brush**:

2. Apply Brush Cleanser: Apply a small amount of brush cleanser to the bristles.
3. Swirl and Rinse: Swirl the brush in the palm of your hand or on a textured cleaning mat to create a lather. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water until the water runs clear.
4. Squeeze Out Excess Water: Gently squeeze out the excess water from the bristles.
5. Reshape and Dry: Reshape the bristles and lay the brush flat on a clean towel to dry.

How often should you clean your brushes?
