I’m your instructor, and I’ve seen it all. From contour lines that look like geographical fault lines to blending so aggressive you’d think you were diffusing a bomb. Fear not! I’m here to guide you, step-by-step, through the process of using our Cream Contour Stick and Brush to achieve a flawless, natural-looking contour.

Why Cream Contour, You Ask? 🤔

Let’s start with the basics. Why bother with cream contour when powders exist? Well, my dears, cream contour offers a few key advantages:

• Blendability Bliss: Cream formulas melt into the skin like butter on a hot croissant (mmm, croissants…). This allows for a seamless, natural finish that avoids that harsh, stripey look.
• Hydration Hero: Cream contours often contain moisturizing ingredients, making them ideal for dry or mature skin. Say goodbye to cakey, patchy contour!
• Buildability Bonanza: You can build the intensity of a cream contour gradually, making it perfect for both beginners and seasoned pros. Want a subtle shadow? Easy. Want a dramatic, chiseled look? You got it!
• Versatility Virtuoso: Cream contour can be used on its own, under powder contour for extra staying power, or even as an eyeshadow base! Talk about multi-tasking!

Finding Your Perfect Shade: The Contour Color Wheel 🌈

Choosing the right contour shade is crucial. You’re looking for a color that’s a few shades darker than your natural skin tone, and ideally has cool or neutral undertones. Warm-toned contours can sometimes look orange or muddy.

Here’s a quick guide:

• Fair Skin: Opt for light to medium cool-toned shades. Think taupe or light brown.
• Light-Medium Skin: Medium cool or neutral-toned shades will work well.
• Medium Skin: Medium to deep cool or neutral-toned shades are ideal.
• Olive Skin: Neutral or slightly warm shades can work, but be careful not to go too orange.
• Dark Skin: Deep cool or neutral-toned shades will create a beautiful, defined contour.

Pro Tip: When in doubt, err on the side of lighter. It’s easier to build up the intensity than to try to blend out a contour that’s too dark.

The Contouring Masterclass: Step-by-Step Guide! ✍️

Alright, grab your ZenaMakeup Cream Contour Stick and Brush, and let’s get sculpting!

Step 1: Prep Your Canvas

Start with a clean, moisturized face. Apply your foundation and concealer as usual. Setting your base with a light powder can help the contour blend even more smoothly.

Step 2: Locate Your Cheekbones (The Treasure Hunt!)

This is where things can get tricky. Finding your cheekbones is like finding buried treasure – you need to know where to dig! The easiest way to locate them is to suck in your cheeks (fish face, anyone? 🐠). The hollows that appear are where you’ll be applying your contour.

Step 3: Apply the Contour

Using the ZenaMakeup Cream Contour Stick, draw a line along the hollows of your cheeks, starting from your ear and ending about two finger widths away from your mouth. Don’t go too close to your mouth, or you’ll end up looking like you have a dirty mustache. 😬

Pro Tip: Less is more! Start with a small amount of product and build up the intensity as needed.

Where to Apply? (Contour Cheat Sheet)

Here’s a handy guide on where to apply contour to sculpt different features:

• Cheekbones: Along the hollows of your cheeks to create definition.
• Jawline: Along the jawline to create a more defined and sculpted look.
• Forehead: Along the hairline to make the forehead appear smaller.
• Nose: Down the sides of the nose to make it appear slimmer.

Step 4: Blend, Blend, Blend! (The Arm Workout)

This is the most important step! Using the ZenaMakeup Contour Brush, blend the contour upwards and outwards, towards your hairline. Use small, circular motions to buff the product into your skin.

This is the most important step! Using the ZenaMakeup Contour Brush, blend the contour upwards and outwards, towards your hairline. Use small, circular motions to buff the product into your skin.

Pro Tip: Avoid dragging the product downwards, as this can make your face look droopy.

Step 5: Blend Like Your Life Depends On It! (Seriously, Blend!)

Keep blending until there are no harsh lines and the contour seamlessly melts into your skin. This may take a few minutes, but trust me, it’s worth it! A well-blended contour is the key to a natural-looking finish.

Step 6: Contour Your Jawline (If You Dare!)

If you want to define your jawline, apply a small amount of contour along the jawline, starting from your ear and ending at your chin. Blend downwards towards your neck.

Pro Tip: Be careful not to apply too much product to your jawline, as this can make you look like you have a beard. 🧔

Step 7: Contour Your Forehead (Optional)

If you have a large forehead, you can contour along the hairline to make it appear smaller. Apply a small amount of contour along the hairline and blend upwards into your hair.

Step 8: Contour Your Nose (For the Experts!)

Contouring your nose is an advanced technique, so don’t worry if you’re not ready to try it yet. If you want to make your nose appear slimmer, apply a thin line of contour down the sides of your nose, starting from your eyebrow and ending at the tip of your nose. Blend inwards towards the center of your nose.

Step 9: Highlight (The Yin to Your Yang)

Contour and highlight go hand-in-hand. After contouring, apply a highlighter to the high points of your face, such as your cheekbones, brow bone, and the bridge of your nose. This will add dimension and luminosity to your face.

Step 10: Set with Powder (The Final Touch)

To ensure your contour lasts all day, set it with a light dusting of translucent powder. This will also help to blend everything together seamlessly.

Troubleshooting: Common Contouring Mistakes and How to Fix Them! 🚨

Even the most experienced makeup artists make mistakes sometimes. Here are some common contouring mishaps and how to fix them:

• Harsh Lines: The most common contouring mistake! Solution: Blend, blend, blend! Use a clean brush to soften the edges and blend the contour seamlessly into your skin.
• Contour That’s Too Dark: If your contour is too dark, it can look unnatural and muddy. Solution: Apply a lighter shade of contour on top to soften the color.
• Contour That’s Too Orange: Orange contour can make your skin look sallow and unnatural. Solution: Apply a cool-toned powder contour on top to neutralize the orange.
• Contour That’s Too Low: Applying contour too low on your cheeks can make your face look droopy. Solution: Blend the contour upwards and outwards, towards your hairline.

(Table: Troubleshooting Common Contouring Mistakes)

Mistake	Solution
Harsh Lines	Blend, blend, blend! Use a clean brush to soften edges.
Contour Too Dark	Apply a lighter shade of contour on top.
Contour Too Orange	Apply a cool-toned powder contour on top.
Contour Too Low	Blend upwards and outwards towards hairline.
Patchy Application	Ensure skin is properly moisturized. Use a damp sponge for application.
