Here’s what I believe. If your favorite author recommends a book, you read it. If an esteemed dermatologist creates a skincare line, you try it. If a talented makeup artist with over 20 years of professional experience working on world renowned fashion campaigns, runways, and celebrities designs a clean beauty line…you grab your Amex and swipe baby.
Gucci Westman is a dedicated clean beauty advocate and is responsible for creating the most beautiful makeup looks on A list actresses and super models. She believes that you do not need to compromise on results when using natural versus synthetic ingredients. The desired look should be the same while avoiding potentially harmful and dangerous ingredients like parabens and sulfates.
She applied her experience, talent, and passion for holistic living towards her own makeup brand and voila Westman Atelier was born. A brand that values luxury while staunchly utilizing clean and healthy ingredients. But you can read all this on her fabulous website that is filled with tips, tutorials, and a fun video series called Makeup & Friends.
I want to discuss the products. The jaw dropping aesthetic is only one component to the brand. Packaging may be eye catching, but without the goods to back it up, it matters little. However that is not the case with Westman Atelier. I have tried the Lip Suede, Baby Cheeks Blush Stick, and the Lit Up Highlight Stick and am amazed!
Let’s begin with the texture, which is incredibly lightweight- like you cannot distinguish whether or not you are wearing any makeup. The texture is silky smooth more like applying skincare than makeup. As for the pigment- second to none. Every single one of the absolutely vibrant yet natural looking shades of red in the lip suede palette is saturated with color. The shades include fuchsia, brick, tomato red, and warm dusty rose formulated with cold-pressed cherry oil, extracted from the kernel, which provides antioxidants including Vitamin A and E. Honestly, lips appear luscious and stained as if just biting into a sweet cherry, warmed from the sun. More than the pigment and the texture, this quad lip palette is results driven. Biomimetic peptides boost collagen production, lip volume, hydration and softness for fuller, plumper lips.
The quality of the Westman Atelier products are phenomenal and worth the investment. Please try and let me know what you think!
