Why Contour? The Lowdown (and the High Definition!)

Before we get hands-on with our amazing products, let’s understand why we even bother with contouring in the first place.

Imagine your face as a blank canvas. Foundation evens out the tone, concealer hides imperfections, and blush adds a pop of color. But contouring? Contouring is the artist that brings dimension and structure to your masterpiece. It’s about playing with light and shadow to sculpt your features, making cheekbones pop, slimming your nose, and defining your jawline.

Think of it like this:

• Highlighting: Brings areas forward, making them appear brighter and more prominent. Think of it as your personal spotlight! 🌟
• Contouring: Pushes areas back, creating shadows and adding depth. It’s the secret weapon to creating the illusion of sculpted perfection. 🤫

Finding Your Perfect Shade Match: Contour Color Theory 101

Choosing the right contour shade is crucial. You’re aiming to mimic a natural shadow, so avoid anything too warm, orange, or shimmery.

• Cool-Toned Shades: These are your best bet for creating a realistic shadow. Think grayish-browns or taupes.
• Light Skin Tones: Opt for a lighter contour shade to avoid looking muddy.
• Medium Skin Tones: You have more flexibility! Experiment with different depths of cool-toned browns.
• Deep Skin Tones: Look for rich, deep browns with cool undertones to add dimension without looking ashy.

Pro Tip: When in doubt, err on the side of a shade that’s slightly lighter than you think you need. You can always build up the intensity.

The Contouring Roadmap: Where to Apply (and Why!)

Now, let’s get to the nitty-gritty! Here’s a breakdown of the key areas to contour:

• Cheekbones: This is the most common area for contouring. It creates the illusion of higher, more defined cheekbones.
  • How to find it: Suck in your cheeks and feel for the hollow underneath your cheekbone.
• Jawline: Contouring the jawline can create a more sculpted and defined look.
  • How to find it: Follow the natural line of your jaw, from your ear to your chin.
• Temples: Contouring the temples can help to narrow the forehead and create a more balanced facial shape.
  • How to find it: Apply along the hairline on either side of your forehead.
• Nose: Contouring the nose can make it appear slimmer and more defined.
  • How to find it: Apply along the sides of the bridge of your nose.
• Under the Lip: This is a sneaky trick to make your lower lip appear fuller.
  • How to find it: Apply a small amount of contour directly under your lower lip.

The Step-by-Step Guide: Sculpting Like a Pro with ZenaMakeup!

Okay, class, pencils down, brushes up! Let’s get contouring!

Step 1: Prep Your Canvas

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

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

Step 2: The Cheekbone Sculpt

1. Apply the 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 from your mouth. Don’t go too close to your mouth! You don’t want to look like you have a dirty face! 😬
2. Blend, Blend, Blend!: Using the ZenaMakeup Sculpting Brush, blend the contour line upwards and outwards, towards your hairline. Use small, circular motions to seamlessly blend the contour into your skin. Remember, the key is to avoid harsh lines!
3. Check Your Work: Step back and take a look in the mirror. Does it look natural? If not, keep blending!

Step 3: Jawline Definition

1. Apply the Contour: Using the Cream Contour Stick, draw a line along your jawline, starting from your ear and ending at your chin.
2. Blend, Blend, Blend!: Using the Sculpting Brush, blend the contour line downwards, towards your neck. Again, use small, circular motions to avoid harsh lines.

Step 4: Temple Taper

1. Apply the Contour: Using the Cream Contour Stick, apply a small amount of contour along your hairline, on either side of your forehead.
2. Blend, Blend, Blend!: Using the Sculpting Brush, blend the contour into your hairline, ensuring there are no harsh lines.

Step 5: Nose Slimming (Optional)

1. Apply the Contour: Using the Cream Contour Stick (or a smaller brush for more precision), draw a thin line down each side of the bridge of your nose.
2. Blend, Blend, Blend!: Using a small, blending brush, blend the contour lines inwards, towards the center of your nose.

Step 6: The Lip Plump (Optional)

1. Apply the Contour: Using the Cream Contour Stick (or a small detail brush), apply a tiny amount of contour directly under your lower lip.
2. Blend, Blend, Blend!: Using your finger or a small brush, blend the contour downwards.

Step 7: Highlight & Set!

Now that you’ve sculpted your features, it’s time to add some highlight! Apply a highlighter to the high points of your face: your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, your cupid’s bow, and the inner corners of your eyes. Finally, set your makeup with a setting powder to keep everything in place all day long!

Troubleshooting & Pro Tips:

• Too Much Contour? Don’t panic! Use a damp beauty sponge or a clean brush to blend it out. You can also apply a light layer of foundation or concealer over the area.
• Contour Looks Muddy? You’re probably using a shade that’s too warm or too dark. Try a cooler-toned shade or use a lighter hand.
• Harsh Lines? Keep blending! Blending is key to a natural-looking contour.
• Experiment! Don’t be afraid to experiment with different techniques and placements to find what works best for your face shape.
• Lighting is Key: Always apply your makeup in good lighting. Natural light is best!
• Practice Makes Perfect: Don’t get discouraged if you don’t get it right the first time. Keep practicing, and you’ll be contouring like a pro in no time!

Face Shape Guide: Contour Placement for Your Unique Features

While the basic principles of contouring remain the same, adjusting the placement to suit your face shape can make a huge difference.

Face Shape	Contour Placement Recommendations
Oval	Considered the most balanced shape, you can pretty much follow the standard contouring guidelines. Emphasize cheekbones and subtly define the jawline.
Round	Focus on creating angles and length. Contour along the cheekbones in a more angled line, starting from the ear and aiming towards the corner of the mouth. Contour along the jawline to add definition. Avoid contouring the temples too much, as this can make the face appear shorter.
Square	Soften the angular features. Contour along the temples and the corners of the forehead to round out the hairline. Contour along the jawline, focusing on the corners of the jaw to soften the sharp angles.
Heart-Shaped	Widen the lower part of the face. Contour along the temples and the upper part of the forehead to minimize the width of the forehead. Apply a touch of contour under the chin to balance the wider forehead.
Long/Rectangular	Shorten the face visually. Contour along the hairline to lower the forehead. Contour along the chin to visually shorten the lower part of the face. Apply blush horizontally along the cheekbones to add width.

Bonus Round: Contouring Don’ts!

• Don’t use a warm-toned bronzer as contour. Bronzer is meant to add warmth, while contour is meant to create shadows.
• Don’t apply contour too low on your cheek. This can drag your face down and make you look tired.
• Don’t forget to blend! Harsh lines are a contouring crime!
• Don’t be afraid to experiment! Makeup is all about having fun and expressing yourself.

Final Thoughts:

Contouring can seem intimidating at first, but with the right products and techniques, it’s totally achievable. ZenaMakeup’s Cream Contour Stick and Sculpting Brush are your secret weapons to achieving sculpted perfection. So, grab your tools, follow these tips, and get ready to unleash your inner artist!
