Q: Which shade combination from The Cheek Duos powder palettes is best for my skin tone?
Gucci's lightbulb moment for The Cheek Duos came from her method of playing with different tones to create the most authentic-looking skin. "I’ve always loved using complementary colors on the cheek," she explains, "Layering shades feels more real, less monochromatic, as if you’re breathing life into skin."
With that in mind, the team developed NEW powder formats for our best-selling Baby Cheeks blushes and Face Trace contours. Each palette delivers a dimensional flush of color and while there are six to choose from, finding your match need not be complicated. "Find a contour that suits your skin tone, then a blush duo that suits your mood," says Gucci. Here's how to pick an ideal shade combination for your complexion.
For a sculpted effect, try The Baby Cheeks + Face Trace Sculpting Powder Duo
For blush, "It's nice to have options!" says Gucci who loves all the duos in this category equally. "Blushes are really about your mood—I like to switch them up depending on the occasion." Try Suede/Sable for "easy, weekend skin" as the two shades deliver a warm sun-kissed rosy look for light to tan skin tones. Fizz/Jam's bright watermelon flush and deep berry shades are universally flattering—just blend up for more intensity or down for a sheer and delicate effect. And Coquette/Mimi is perfect for light to medium skin tones in search of a brightening boost. When applying, Gucci sweeps on the deeper shade in the blush palette to add dimension and finishes with the lighter shade for a pop of color. You can't go wrong!
