1. Introduction: Why the Jawline Matters (and Why Cream Contour Rocks!)

Let’s face it (pun intended! 😂), the jawline is having a moment. It’s the architectural foundation of your face, contributing to a more defined and sculpted appearance. Think of it as the structural beam that supports the entire building of your beauty!

But here’s the thing: not everyone is blessed with a naturally sharp jawline. Factors like genetics, weight fluctuations, and even just the natural aging process can soften the jawline definition.

That’s where contouring comes in! It’s the art of using light and shadow to create the illusion of depth and dimension. And when it comes to contouring, cream formulas are your secret weapon.

Why cream contour?

• Blendability: Cream formulas are incredibly easy to blend, creating a natural, seamless finish. Powder can sometimes look harsh and sit on top of the skin.
• Buildable Coverage: You can start with a light application and gradually build up the intensity to your desired level of definition.
• Hydration: Cream formulas often contain moisturizing ingredients, leaving your skin looking healthy and radiant. (ZenaSculpt definitely does!)
• Natural Finish: Cream contours melt into the skin, mimicking natural shadows for a more realistic effect.

In short, cream contour is your ticket to a sculpted jawline that looks effortlessly chic, not like you spent hours in front of the mirror trying to paint a new face. (Although, let’s be real, we’ve all been there! 😜)

2. Introducing the ZenaSculpt Cream Contour Stick: Your New Best Friend

Alright, let’s talk about the star of the show: the ZenaSculpt Cream Contour Stick! 🤩

This isn’t just any contour stick. We’ve spent countless hours perfecting the formula, shade range, and ease of application to create a product that’s truly revolutionary.

Here’s what makes ZenaSculpt so special:

• Creamy, Blendable Formula: The formula glides on smoothly and blends effortlessly, leaving a natural, skin-like finish. No more harsh lines or muddy patches!
• Perfect Shade Range: We offer a range of shades to suit a variety of skin tones, from fair to deep. We’ve taken the guesswork out of finding the perfect contour shade.
• Buildable Coverage: Control the intensity of your contour with buildable coverage. Go for a subtle definition or a more dramatic sculpt – the choice is yours!
• Long-Lasting Wear: The ZenaSculpt formula is designed to last all day without fading or creasing.
• Infused with Skin-Loving Ingredients: We’ve included ingredients like Vitamin E and Jojoba oil to nourish and hydrate your skin while you contour.
• Vegan & Cruelty-Free: We believe in beauty without compromise. ZenaSculpt is 100% vegan and cruelty-free. 🐰💖

Why a Stick Format?

The stick format makes application a breeze! It’s precise, controlled, and perfect for on-the-go touch-ups. No more messy palettes or loose powders! Just swipe and blend!

3. Understanding Face Shapes: Contour Placement 101

Before we dive into the application process, it’s crucial to understand your face shape. Contour placement isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. What works for a round face might not work for a square face, and vice versa.

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

Face Shape	Characteristics	Jawline Contour Placement
Oval	Forehead and jawline are similar in width. Face is longer than it is wide.	Lucky you! You can pretty much rock any contour placement. Follow the natural curve of your jawline for subtle definition.
Round	Full cheeks, soft features, and a similar width and length.	Contour along the jawline from the ear down towards the chin to create the illusion of more definition. Blending is key to avoid harsh lines.
Square	Strong, angular jawline and a similar width forehead, cheeks, and jawline.	Soften the angles of your jawline by applying contour along the corners of the jaw. Blend well to avoid a boxy look.
Heart	Wider forehead and cheekbones, with a narrow chin.	Contour along the sides of the forehead and under the chin to balance the proportions. Focus on creating a softer, more rounded appearance.
Diamond	Narrow forehead and chin, with wider cheekbones.	Contour under the cheekbones and along the jawline to create a more balanced appearance. Avoid contouring the forehead, as this can make it appear even narrower.
Rectangle/Long	Similar to oval but longer.	Contour directly under the jawline horizontally from ear to ear to make the face appear shorter.

Important Note: These are just guidelines. Experiment and see what works best for your unique features. Your face is a masterpiece, and you’re the artist! 🎨

4. The Essential Tool: Choosing the Right Brush

While you can use your fingers to blend cream contour (especially in a pinch!), a good brush will make the process much easier and more precise.

While you can use your fingers to blend cream contour (especially in a pinch!), a good brush will make the process much easier and more precise.

Here are the best brush options for blending ZenaSculpt:

Brush Type	Description	Why It’s Great for Cream Contour
Angled Contour Brush	Dense, angled bristles designed to fit perfectly under the cheekbones and along the jawline.	The angled shape allows for precise application and effortless blending. It’s perfect for creating a defined, sculpted look.
Buffing Brush	Dense, rounded bristles perfect for blending and buffing out cream products.	The rounded shape allows for a seamless, airbrushed finish. It’s great for creating a natural, soft contour.
Foundation Brush	Flat, dense bristles designed for applying and blending foundation.	Can be used in a pinch, but it’s not the ideal choice. It can sometimes leave streaks if not used carefully. Opt for a damp sponge to avoid that.
Damp Makeup Sponge	A sponge that has been dampened with water. It is then squeezed out so that it is not soaking wet.	A makeup sponge is great for blending and for making sure your makeup looks natural and not cakey. It is great for beginners who are learning to contour as you are less likely to make a mistake with it.

ZenaMakeup Recommendation: We highly recommend using our ZenaBlend Angled Contour Brush! It’s specifically designed to work perfectly with the ZenaSculpt Cream Contour Stick, ensuring a flawless application every time.

5. The Application Process: A Step-by-Step Guide to Jawline Contouring

Okay, let’s get down to business! Here’s a step-by-step guide to sculpting your jawline using the ZenaSculpt Cream Contour Stick:

1. Prep Your Skin: Start with a clean, moisturized face. Apply your foundation and concealer as usual.
2. Locate Your Contour Placement: Stand in front of a mirror and tilt your head slightly down. You should see a natural shadow forming under your jawline. This is where you’ll apply your contour.
3. Apply ZenaSculpt: Using the ZenaSculpt Cream Contour Stick, draw a line along your jawline, starting from the ear and ending towards the center of your chin. The thickness of the line will depend on your desired level of definition. Remember, you can always build up the intensity!
   • For a Round Face: Apply the contour line slightly higher under the jawline to create the illusion of a more defined angle.
   • For a Square Face: Focus on applying the contour to the corners of your jawline to soften the angles.
   • For a Heart Face: Apply contour under the chin to balance the wider forehead.
   • For a Rectangular Face: Apply contour horizontally from ear to ear directly under the jawline.
4. Less is More: Start with a small amount of product and build up the intensity as needed. It’s always easier to add more product than to take it away!

6. Blending Like a Boss: Achieving a Seamless Finish

Blending is the KEY to a natural-looking contour. Harsh lines are a major no-no! 🙅‍♀️

Here’s how to blend your ZenaSculpt Cream Contour like a pro:

1. Choose Your Blending Tool: Use your ZenaBlend Angled Contour Brush or a damp makeup sponge.
2. Blend Upwards: Gently blend the contour line upwards towards your cheekbone and downwards towards your neck. This will soften the edges and create a seamless transition.
3. Circular Motions: Use small, circular motions to buff the contour into your skin.
4. Check Your Work: Step back from the mirror and check your work. Make sure there are no harsh lines or uneven patches.
5. Add More Product (If Needed): If you want a more intense contour, add another layer of ZenaSculpt and blend again.

Important Blending Tips:

• Use a Light Hand: Avoid pressing too hard with your brush or sponge. This can disrupt your foundation and create streaks.
• Clean Your Brush Regularly: A clean brush will blend more effectively and prevent product buildup.
• Be Patient: Blending takes time and practice. Don’t rush the process!

7. Highlighting the High Points: Completing the Look

Contouring and highlighting are like peanut butter and jelly – they go hand in hand! Highlighting the high points of your face will enhance your contour and create a more sculpted, dimensional look.

Here’s how to highlight your jawline area:

1. Choose Your Highlighter: Use a cream or powder highlighter that’s one or two shades lighter than your skin tone.
2. Apply to the Jawline: Apply the highlighter above the contour line on the jawline.
3. Blend: Blend the highlighter into the skin using a small, fluffy brush.

8. Troubleshooting: Common Mistakes and How to Fix Them

We all make mistakes, especially when learning a new technique. Here are some common contouring mistakes and how to fix them:

Mistake	Solution
Harsh Lines	Blend, blend, blend! Use a clean brush or a damp sponge to soften the edges of the contour.
Contour Shade Too Dark	Use a lighter contour shade or apply a thin layer of foundation over the contour to tone it down.
Contour Shade Too Warm/Orange	Use a cooler-toned contour shade.
Muddy Finish	You’re likely using too much product or not blending properly. Start with a small amount of product and build up the intensity as needed. Use a clean brush to blend the edges.
Contour Disappearing Throughout the Day	Use a setting powder to set your contour. This will help it last longer.
Contour Looks Unnatural	Make sure you’re using the right contour shade for your skin tone and that you’re blending properly. Practice makes perfect!
Applying Contour Too Low	Ensure you can see your natural jawline when looking straight ahead into the mirror. This is where you should contour to enhance the jawline. If you cannot see the jawline, then apply contour slightly higher up.

9. Pro Tips and Tricks: Taking Your Contouring to the Next Level

Ready to become a contouring master? Here are some pro tips and tricks:

• Use a Primer: Apply a primer before your foundation to create a smooth base for your contour.
• Set Your Contour: Use a translucent setting powder to set your contour and prevent it from fading throughout the day.
• Experiment with Different Techniques: Try different contour placements and blending techniques to find what works best for your face shape.
• Contour Your Neck: To create a seamless, natural-looking contour, extend the contour down your neck.
• Use a Setting Spray: Finish your makeup with a setting spray to lock everything in place.
