How to Use Etude Play 101 Stick Contour Duo Intensive Safely and Correctly

Follow these simple steps to achieve a beautifully contoured look with your Etude Play 101 Stick Contour Duo Intensive:

1. Prep Your Skin: Start with a clean, moisturized face. Apply your usual skincare routine, including sunscreen, which is especially important in the South African sun. You can also apply a primer for smoother makeup application.
2. Highlight Application: Uncap the lighter, highlighting end of the Etude Play 101 Stick Contour Duo Intensive. Gently glide the stick onto the high points of your face:
   • Center of your forehead
   • Bridge of your nose
   • Cheekbones (tops of your cheeks)
   • Cupid's bow (above your upper lip)
   • Chin
3. Contour Application: Uncap the darker, contour end. Apply the contour shade to the areas you want to define and sculpt:
   • Sides of your forehead near the hairline
   • Hollows of your cheeks (underneath cheekbones)
   • Sides of your nose
   • Jawline and under the chin
4. Blend Seamlessly: Use a makeup sponge, brush, or your fingertips to gently blend the highlight and contour shades. Blend outwards and upwards, ensuring there are no harsh lines. The creamy formula of Etude Play 101 Stick Contour Duo Intensive makes blending effortless.
5. Set Your Makeup (Optional): For extra long wear, especially in South Africa's climate, you can set your contour and highlight with a translucent powder.
6. Cleanse Thoroughly: At the end of the day, remove your makeup thoroughly with a gentle cleanser. Korean skincare emphasizes double cleansing – first with an oil-based cleanser and then a water-based cleanser – to ensure all makeup and impurities are removed.

Precautions and Safety Measures for South African Customers:

• Sun Sensitivity: While Etude Play 101 Stick Contour Duo Intensive does not directly increase sun sensitivity, always ensure you are using adequate sun protection daily in South Africa, even when wearing makeup.
• Patch Test: If you have sensitive skin or are trying Korean skincare products for the first time, perform a patch test on a small area of your skin before applying to your entire face.
• Avoid Direct Eye Contact: Keep the product out of direct contact with your eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
• External Use Only: This product is for external use only.

Expert Tips for Flawless Contouring with Etude Play 101 Stick Contour Duo Intensive

To truly master your sculpted look with the Etude Play 101 Stick Contour Duo Intensive, consider these expert tips:

• Start Light, Build Up: The creamy formula is buildable, so begin with a light application and gradually add more product until you achieve your desired level of definition. This prevents over-contouring and keeps your look natural.
• Warm Up the Product: For an even smoother glide, gently warm the tip of the stick on the back of your hand before applying it to your face. This softens the formula and enhances blendability.
• Choose the Right Tools: While your fingers work well for blending, consider using a damp makeup sponge for a seamless, airbrushed finish. For more precise blending in smaller areas like the nose, a small, dense blending brush is ideal.
• Contour According to Your Face Shape: Adapt your contouring technique to complement your unique face shape. Round faces benefit from contouring along the sides of the forehead, temples, and jawline to create angles. Longer faces can focus contouring on the forehead and chin to shorten the face visually.
• Highlight Placement is Key: Maximize the highlighting effect by applying the lighter shade precisely on the highest points where light naturally hits your face. Think of it as mimicking where the sun would naturally brighten your features.
• Set for Longevity in the South African Climate: To combat shine and ensure your sculpted look lasts all day, especially in humid South African weather, lightly set your contour and highlight with a translucent powder. Focus on the T-zone and areas prone to oiliness.
• Experiment with Shades: While the Etude Play 101 Stick Contour Duo Intensive is designed to be universally flattering, experiment with different intensities of contour and highlight to find what best complements your skin tone and makeup style.
