1. The Contouring Craze: Why Bother? 🤷‍♀️

Let’s be real, contouring can seem intimidating. All those lines and shadows? Is it really worth the effort? The answer, my friends, is a resounding YES!

Contouring is all about using shadows and highlights to enhance your natural features and create the illusion of depth and dimension. It’s like playing with light and shadow to sculpt your face into your dream canvas. Think of it as a mini-facelift, without the needles! 💉🚫

Here’s why contouring is totally worth the hype:

• Defines your features: Accentuates cheekbones, slims the nose, and defines the jawline.
• Adds dimension: Prevents your face from looking flat, especially in photos.
• Creates a more sculpted look: Highlights your bone structure and makes your features pop.
• Boosts confidence: When you look good, you feel good! ✨

3. Why Cream Contour for Small Areas? 🍦

Now, you might be wondering, why cream contour specifically for those smaller areas? Good question! Here’s why cream formulas are the perfect choice for precise contouring:

• Precision: Cream formulas offer more control and precision when applying to small areas like the nose or eyeshadow crease. You can easily target specific areas without creating harsh lines.
• Blendability: Cream contours blend seamlessly into the skin, creating a natural-looking shadow. This is especially important in smaller areas where harsh lines can be very noticeable.
• Buildable: You can easily build up the intensity of your contour with a cream formula, allowing you to create a subtle or dramatic look depending on your preference.
• Hydrating: Cream formulas are often more hydrating than powder contours, making them ideal for dry skin or for creating a dewy, radiant finish.

In short, cream contour is your best friend for achieving a natural, sculpted look in those smaller, more delicate areas!

4. Brush Up Your Knowledge: Choosing the Right Brush 🖌️

Okay, you’ve got your ZenaMakeup Cream Contour Stick, now you need the right tool to apply it! Choosing the right brush is crucial for achieving a flawless contour.

For small areas, we recommend using these types of brushes:

• Small Angled Brush: This is perfect for contouring the nose, defining the cheekbones, and creating a sharp jawline. The angled shape allows for precise application and blending.
  • Ideal for: Nose, cheekbones, jawline
• Small Blending Brush: This is great for blending out the contour in smaller areas, such as the eyeshadow crease or around the nose. The soft bristles create a seamless finish.
  • Ideal for: Eyeshadow crease, blending around the nose
• Detail Brush: This is a tiny brush that’s perfect for creating very precise lines, such as contouring the lips or highlighting the inner corner of the eye.
  • Ideal for: Lip contouring, inner corner highlighting

Here’s a handy table to help you choose the right brush:

Brush Type	Size	Shape	Ideal For
Small Angled Brush	Small	Angled	Contouring nose, defining cheekbones, creating a sharp jawline
Small Blending Brush	Small	Fluffy	Blending contour in smaller areas, eyeshadow crease, around the nose
Detail Brush	Tiny	Pointed/Flat	Creating precise lines, lip contouring, inner corner highlighting

Pro-Tip: Look for brushes with soft, dense bristles that are easy to clean. Synthetic bristles are a great option for cream products!

5. Contouring 101: Mapping Your Face 🗺️

Before you start slathering on the contour, it’s important to understand your face shape and where to place the product. This is called "mapping" your face.

Before you start slathering on the contour, it’s important to understand your face shape and where to place the product. This is called "mapping" your face.

Here are the key areas to contour:

• Cheekbones: Place contour in the hollows of your cheeks, starting from your ear and blending towards the corner of your mouth.
• Nose: Contour along the sides of your nose to make it appear slimmer.
• Jawline: Apply contour along your jawline to create a more defined and sculpted look.
• Forehead: If you have a large forehead, you can contour along your hairline to make it appear smaller.
• Eyeshadow Crease: Contouring the eyeshadow crease adds depth and dimension to the eyes.
• Lips: Adding a touch of contour under the center of the bottom lip can create the illusion of a fuller pout.

6. The Mini-Contouring Masterclass: Step-by-Step Guides 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️

Alright, time for the main event! Let’s dive into some specific contouring techniques for those smaller areas.

• Cheekbones that Pop! 💥

  1. Locate Your Cheekbone: Feel for the hollows of your cheeks by sucking in your cheeks. The area that dips in is where you’ll apply the contour.
  2. Apply the Contour: Using your small angled brush, gently apply the ZenaMakeup Cream Contour Stick in a line from your ear towards the corner of your mouth, stopping about two finger widths away from your nose.
  3. Blend, Blend, Blend!: Use your small angled brush or a blending sponge to blend the contour upwards and outwards, towards your hairline. Make sure there are no harsh lines!
  4. Highlight: Apply a highlighter to the tops of your cheekbones to accentuate the contour and create a sculpted look.

• Nose Sculpting: The Illusion of Perfection 👃

  1. Visualize the Shape: Imagine the shape you want your nose to be. Do you want it to be slimmer? More defined?
  2. Apply the Contour: Using your small angled brush, apply a thin line of the ZenaMakeup Cream Contour Stick down each side of your nose, starting from the inner corner of your eyebrow and ending at the tip of your nose.
  3. Blend Carefully: Use your small blending brush to blend the contour inwards, towards the bridge of your nose. Be careful not to blend too much, as you want to maintain the definition.
  4. Highlight: Apply a touch of highlighter down the center of your nose to make it appear longer and slimmer.

• Jawline Definition: Hello, Confidence! 💪

  1. Find Your Jawline: Feel along your jawline to identify the area you want to define.
  2. Apply the Contour: Using your small angled brush, apply the ZenaMakeup Cream Contour Stick along your jawline, starting from your ear and ending at your chin.
  3. Blend Downwards: Blend the contour downwards, towards your neck. This will create a more natural and seamless look.
  4. Highlight: Apply a highlighter to the center of your chin to make your jawline appear more prominent.

• Eyeshadow Crease: Adding Dimension 👀

  1. Locate Your Crease: Feel for the crease of your eyelid.
  2. Apply the Contour: Using your small blending brush, apply a small amount of the ZenaMakeup Cream Contour Stick into your crease, starting from the outer corner of your eye and blending inwards.
  3. Blend Seamlessly: Blend the contour until it’s completely seamless. You want to create a subtle shadow that adds depth and dimension to your eyes.

• Lip Plumping Trick: Instant Volume 👄

  1. Outline the Lips: Using a lip liner close to your natural lip color, line your lips slightly outside your natural lip line.
  2. Apply Contour: Using a detail brush, apply a small amount of the ZenaMakeup Cream Contour Stick under the center of your bottom lip.
  3. Blend Lightly: Blend the contour slightly.
  4. Highlight: Add a touch of highlighter to the center of your top lip (cupid’s bow).

7. Blending is Your Best Friend! 🤝

I cannot stress this enough: BLENDING IS KEY! No matter how perfectly you apply your contour, it will look unnatural if it’s not blended properly.

Tips for blending like a pro:

• Use a clean brush or sponge: This will help to avoid muddying the colors.
• Blend in small, circular motions: This will help to create a seamless finish.
• Blend until there are no harsh lines: This is the most important step!
• Don’t be afraid to blend too much: It’s better to blend too much than not enough.

8. Contouring for Different Face Shapes: A Cheat Sheet! 📝

Face Shape	Contouring Tips
Round	Contour along the sides of your face, from your temples to your jawline, to create the illusion of a slimmer face.
Square	Contour along your jawline to soften the angles of your face.
Oval	Contour along your cheekbones to enhance your natural features.
Heart	Contour along your forehead to balance out a wider forehead.
Long	Contour along your hairline and chin to make your face appear shorter.

9. Troubleshooting: Common Contouring Mistakes (and How to Fix Them!) 🛠️

• Harsh Lines: This is the most common mistake! Solution: Blend, blend, blend!
• Contour is Too Dark: Choose a contour shade that’s only a few shades darker than your skin tone. If you’ve already applied too much, try blending it out with a foundation brush or sponge.
• Contour is Too Warm: Choose a contour shade with cool undertones to create a more natural-looking shadow.
• Contour is Muddy: Make sure you’re using clean brushes and sponges, and avoid mixing too many products together.
