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

Follow these simple steps to achieve a beautifully contoured look with your Etude Play 101 Stick Contour Duo Original in South Africa:

1. Prep Your Skin: Start with your regular Korean skincare routine. Cleanse, tone, and moisturize your face. Apply primer if desired for extended makeup wear.
2. Apply Foundation (Optional): If you use foundation, apply it before contouring.
3. Highlight Application: Use the lighter shade of the Etude Play 101 Stick Contour Duo Original to highlight the high points of your face:
   • T-zone: Center of your forehead, down your nose bridge, and chin.
   • Cheekbones: Apply above your cheekbones, blending upwards towards your temples.
   • Cupid's Bow: The "V" above your upper lip to accentuate your lip shape.
4. Contour Application: Use the darker shade of the Etude Play 101 Stick Contour Duo Original to create shadows and definition:
   • Sides of Nose: Apply along the sides of your nose to make it appear slimmer. Blend carefully.
   • Below Cheekbones: Find your cheekbone by sucking in your cheeks. Apply contour in the hollows beneath your cheekbones, starting from your ear and blending towards the corner of your mouth, stopping about two fingers away.
   • Jawline: Apply along your jawline, from your ear towards your chin, to define your jaw and create a slimmer face shape.
   • Hairline: Apply along your hairline to reduce the appearance of a large forehead.
5. Blend, Blend, Blend: Use a makeup sponge, brush, or your fingers to blend the highlight and contour shades seamlessly into your foundation (or bare skin). Focus on blending the edges to avoid harsh lines. Use gentle tapping or swirling motions.
6. Set (Optional): If desired, set your contour and highlight with a translucent powder, especially in South Africa's warmer climate, to enhance longevity.

Cleaning and Storage Instructions of Etude Play 101 Stick Contour Duo Original

Cleaning:

• Regular Cleaning Not Required: Due to its stick format and direct application, regular cleaning isn't typically necessary.
• Surface Wipe (Optional): If the tip becomes dusty or picks up other makeup, gently wipe the surface with a clean tissue or a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely before recapping.
• Avoid Water Immersion: Do not submerge the stick in water, as this can damage the product.

Storage:

• Cool, Dry Place: Store Etude Play 101 Stick Contour Duo Original in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Excessive heat can soften the formula.
• Recap Tightly: Always ensure the caps are tightly secured after each use to prevent the product from drying out and to maintain hygiene.
• Upright Position: Storing it upright can help maintain the shape of the stick tips.

Product Lifespan and Special Care

• Lifespan: The typical lifespan of Etude Play 101 Stick Contour Duo Original, when stored properly, is approximately 12-24 months after opening. Refer to the Period After Opening (PAO) symbol (usually a jar with a number followed by "M" for months) on the packaging for the specific recommended lifespan.
• Special Care:
  • Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Do not store in extremely hot or cold environments as this can affect the product's texture and performance.
  • Handle Gently: While the stick is sturdy, avoid dropping it from heights, as this could potentially damage the product.
  • Monitor for Changes: Pay attention to any changes in texture, smell, or performance. If the product starts to smell off, becomes excessively dry or hard, or causes irritation, discontinue use and replace it.
  • No "Half-Life": Makeup products don't have a "half-life" in the same way as medications. The product's effectiveness will gradually diminish over time, primarily due to potential changes in formula consistency and ingredient degradation after prolonged exposure to air and potential contaminants. Following the PAO guidelines and proper storage are key to maximizing product quality and safety.

South Africa is embracing Korean beauty for its innovative formulas and focus on enhancing natural beauty. The Etude Play 101 Contour Duo Stick embodies this K-beauty philosophy, offering a product that is not only effective but also incorporates skin-loving ingredients.

While providing makeup coverage, this contour duo also reflects the Korean emphasis on skincare.

Unlock Your Most Sculpted Self: Usage Secrets

To truly maximize the sculpting power of your Etude Play 101 Stick Contour Duo Original, consider these insider tips:

• Layer for Intensity: For a more dramatic contoured look, especially for evening events, build up the contour shade gradually. Apply a light layer first, blend, and then add more in thin layers until you achieve your desired depth.
• Warm the Product: In cooler months, or if the stick feels slightly firm, gently warm the tip on the back of your hand before applying. This will help the product glide even more smoothly onto your skin.
• Highlight First, Then Contour: Some makeup artists find it easier to visualize and sculpt when the highlight is applied first. Experiment with applying the highlight to your high points before adding contour to the shadows.
• Use a Damp Sponge: For the most seamless blend, especially if you have drier skin, use a slightly damp makeup sponge to blend the edges of your contour and highlight. The dampness helps to sheer out the product for a natural skin-like finish.
• Set Strategically for South African Climates: In humid areas, focus setting powder primarily on the T-zone and areas prone to shine, rather than heavily powdering the entire contoured area. This maintains a natural radiance while ensuring longevity.

Debunking Contour Myths

Let's clear up some common misconceptions about contouring, especially relevant for those new to this technique in South Africa:

• Myth: Contouring is Only for Professionals. The Etude Play 101 Stick Contour Duo Original is specifically designed for ease of use, making contouring accessible to everyone, regardless of makeup skill level. Its blendable formula and stick format are incredibly forgiving and beginner-friendly.
• Myth: Contouring is About Drastic Change. Natural contouring, especially with a product like this duo, is about subtly enhancing your features, not drastically altering your appearance. It's about adding dimension and definition for a refined, polished look.
• Myth: Contouring Products are Heavy and Cakey. This contour stick boasts a lightweight, creamy formula that blends seamlessly into the skin. The powdery finish ensures it's long-lasting without feeling heavy or looking cakey, even in warmer weather.
• Myth: One Contour Shade Fits All. While this duo is versatile, remember that contouring is about creating shadows. Choose a contour shade that is only 2-3 shades darker than your natural skin tone for the most natural effect. The shades in the Etude Play 101 Stick Contour Duo Original are carefully selected to be adaptable to various skin tones.
