Contouring 101: Sculpting Your Way to Stardom 🌟

Alright, let’s get down to the nitty-gritty. Contouring is all about creating shadows to define and sculpt your features. Think of it as playing with light and dark to create the illusion of higher cheekbones, a slimmer nose, or a more defined jawline.

Here’s how to contour like a pro with the ZenaMakeup Foundation Stick:

1. Choose Your Shade: Select a Foundation Stick shade that’s 2-3 shades darker than your natural skin tone. You want a color that creates a noticeable shadow, but not so dark that it looks unnatural.
2. Prep Your Skin: Start with a clean, moisturized face. Apply your foundation and concealer as usual.
3. Find Your Contour Points: Identify the areas you want to contour. The most common areas are:
   • Cheekbones: Locate the hollows of your cheeks by sucking in your cheeks like you’re making a fish face. (Don’t worry, we all do it! 🐟)
   • Jawline: Apply along your jawline to create a more defined look.
   • Temples: Apply along your temples to create the illusion of a narrower forehead.
   • Nose: Apply along the sides of your nose to make it appear slimmer.
4. Apply the Contour: Using the Foundation Stick, draw thin lines along your desired contour points. Remember, less is more! You can always build the coverage later.
5. Blend, Blend, Blend: This is the most important step! Use a damp beauty sponge or a dense contour brush to blend the contour into your skin. Focus on blending the edges so there are no harsh lines. Blend upwards and outwards for a seamless finish.
6. Set with Powder (Optional): If you have oily skin, you can set your contour with a translucent setting powder to help it last longer.

Pro Tip: Don’t be afraid to experiment! Everyone’s face is different, so play around with different contour placements to find what works best for you.

Highlighting 101: Unleash Your Inner Glow ✨

Highlighting is all about bringing light to the high points of your face to create a luminous, radiant glow. It’s like adding a spotlight to your best features!

Here’s how to highlight like a goddess with the ZenaMakeup Foundation Stick:

Here’s how to highlight like a goddess with the ZenaMakeup Foundation Stick:

1. Choose Your Shade: Select a Foundation Stick shade that’s 1-2 shades lighter than your natural skin tone. You can also choose a shade with a subtle shimmer for an extra dose of glow.
2. Prep Your Skin: Make sure your foundation and concealer are blended seamlessly.
3. Find Your Highlight Points: Identify the areas you want to highlight. The most common areas are:
   • Cheekbones: Apply to the tops of your cheekbones to catch the light.
   • Brow Bone: Apply under your brow bone to lift and brighten the eyes.
   • Inner Corner of the Eyes: Apply to the inner corners of your eyes to make them appear wider and brighter.
   • Bridge of the Nose: Apply down the bridge of your nose to create a slimming effect.
   • Cupid’s Bow: Apply to your cupid’s bow (the dip in the middle of your upper lip) to make your lips appear fuller.
4. Apply the Highlight: Using the Foundation Stick, dab small amounts of highlight onto your desired highlight points.
5. Blend, Blend, Blend: Use a damp beauty sponge or a small highlighting brush to blend the highlight into your skin. Focus on blending the edges so there are no harsh lines.
6. Set with Powder (Optional): If you have oily skin, you can set your highlight with a light dusting of translucent setting powder.

Pro Tip: For an extra intense highlight, layer a powder highlighter on top of the Foundation Stick highlight.

Common Mistakes to Avoid (and How to Fix Them!) 🙈

We’ve all been there. Contouring and highlighting can be tricky, but don’t worry, we’ve got your back! Here are some common mistakes to avoid (and how to fix them!):

• Mistake #1: Using the Wrong Shade: Using a contour shade that’s too dark or a highlight shade that’s too light can look unnatural.
  • Fix: Make sure to choose shades that are only a few shades darker or lighter than your natural skin tone.
• Mistake #2: Applying Too Much Product: Applying too much product can make your contour and highlight look heavy and cakey.
  • Fix: Start with a small amount of product and build the coverage as needed.
• Mistake #3: Not Blending Properly: Not blending your contour and highlight properly can result in harsh lines and a muddy appearance.
  • Fix: Use a damp beauty sponge or a blending brush to blend the edges of your contour and highlight until they are seamless.
• Mistake #4: Applying Contour Too Low on the Cheekbones: Applying contour too low on the cheekbones can make your face look droopy.
  • Fix: Apply contour to the hollows of your cheeks, starting at your ear and blending towards the corner of your mouth.
• Mistake #5: Using the Wrong Tools: Using the wrong tools can make it difficult to blend your contour and highlight properly.
  • Fix: Use a damp beauty sponge or a dense contour brush for contouring, and a damp beauty sponge or a small highlighting brush for highlighting.
