Q:  What's the best Face Trace Contour shade for my skin tone?

"Face Trace is such a breeze to use because the formula never disrupts your makeup," explains Gucci holding up the cult-favorite contour stick that comes in three different blendable shades. In today's flash tutorial she answers how to find your match, starting with her own sculpting tool, Biscuit.

Biscuit is a cool beige coffee that suits fair to medium tones anywhere in the Vital Skin Foundation Atelier N to V range. "I wanted our colorists to achieve a balance that wouldn't look muddy, which can be a frequent contour concern." Next up is Truffle, a warm rich mocha, perfect for medium to tan skin tones in the Atelier VI to XI zone. Due to it's warm undertones, Gucci (an Atelier III) often uses it as a creamy bronzer alternative, too.

Last but not least—Ganache! This rich espresso has cool undertones which are ultra-flattering on deeper complexions Atelier XI.5 through XV. "Once you find your Face Trace match," notes Gucci, "You'll get instant definition that makes all the difference!"
