The ETUDE Play 101 Stick Contour Duo requires minimal setup before first use. It is ready for immediate application upon unboxing.
2.1 Unboxing and Inspection
- Carefully remove the product from its packaging.
- Inspect the stick for any signs of damage or tampering. Ensure both the highlighting and shading ends are intact and the caps are secure.
- Remove the protective caps from both ends of the stick before use.
3. Operation and Application
The ETUDE Play 101 Stick Contour Duo is designed for easy and precise application to enhance facial features.
3.1 Application Steps
- Highlighting: Apply the lighter, highlighting color on the T-zone (forehead, bridge of nose), cheekbones, and cupid’s bow. This brightens and brings forward these areas.
- Shading/Contouring: Apply the darker, shading color on the sides of the nose, along the hairline, and below the jawline. This creates depth and definition.
- Blending: Use a beauty blender, foundation sponge, or your fingertips to gently blend the applied product into your skin until seamless. The stick features a 24-degree diagonal cut for easier blending, fitting tightly against the curved surfaces of the face.

4. Care and Maintenance
Proper care ensures the longevity and hygiene of your ETUDE Play 101 Stick Contour Duo.
- Storage: Always replace the caps securely after each use to prevent the product from drying out or becoming contaminated. Store the stick in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Hygiene: To maintain hygiene, avoid sharing the product with others. If applying directly to the face, consider gently wiping the surface of the stick with a clean tissue after each use, especially if you have sensitive skin.
- Cleaning: The exterior of the stick can be wiped clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not submerge the product in water.
5. Troubleshooting
Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter with your contour duo.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
