Westman Atelier: What is #HomebodyApproved?
I am a sucker for luxury clean beauty, and no one does luxury clean beauty quite as well as Westman Atelier. In my opinion, the packaging, ingredient list, manufacturing, and quality is unmatched. The products are on the high end in terms of price, but the shelf-life and amount of product you get, makes it worth it. Westman Atelier was founded by celebrity makeup artist Gucci Westman. She is responsible for the fresh-faced looks on some of our favorite celebs, such as Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow, Demi Moore, Kate Hudson and Cameron Diaz. Her products promise to enhance your skin and never cake or cover. They are all sheer, packed with clean ingredients and perfect for an easy, minimal look. The team at Westman Atelier kindly sent me a few products I had not tried before, but of course all my opinions are my own and I will be 100% transparent about what is worth it and what you can pass on. So, which of these products are #homebodyapproved?
Squeaky Clean Liquid Lip Balm
I’m going to kick it off on a high note with my favorite product (I have tried so far) from Westman Atelier. This might be the best lip product formula I have ever tried. It is exactly as the name suggests, a liquid lip balm. It goes on like a gloss but feels like a lip balm. I have the shade Nou Nou, a sheer coral, and it is the perfect brightening wash of color. It smells and tastes like lemonade and has incredible lasting power.
Baby Cheeks Blush Stick
The team at Westman Atelier has really nailed it with the names of their products. This blush does give you the perfect baby-like flush to the cheeks. It is a sheer but build-able formula and is very easy to blend out. They sent it to me in the shade Minette and it pairs beautifully with the Liquid Lip Balm in Nou Nou. I really like this blush and want to try the shade Poppet next, but in my opinion nothing beats the Merit Flush Balm formula . Having said that, if you are a cream blush fan like me, this blush is definitely worth trying!
Super Loaded Tinted Highlight
This is another one of my favorite Westman Atelier products and one of my makeup drawer must-haves. I have it in the shade Peau de Soleil and it is an all-in-one product for me. It’s a blush/bronzer/highlight and I even use it on my eyes. It’s perfect for a minimal makeup routine and for travel when you don’t want to pack up your entire vanity.
Eye Love You Mascara
I have wanted to try this mascara forever but the price tag scared me, especially when there are $25 mascaras that I swear by. So when they offered to send it to me to try out I was PUMPED. Over all I really like it: it’s super dark, volumizing and lengthening. The brush is a little fat for my liking but the end result is beautiful. Plus it has to be the prettiest mascara packaging I have ever seen and pretty packaging makes me feel some kinda way. I do understand why the price tag is what it is, because it contains lash conditioning ingredients that are expensive to source such as Galactoarabinan. I’d say it’s definitely worth trying if you haven’t found a clean mascara that you love, but if the price tag scares you, try the Merit Clean Lash or Ilia Limitless Lash.
Lit Up Highlight Stick
When people ask me for my highlighter recommendation, this is what I send them. It’s 100% the best cream highlight formula I’ve ever tried. It’s not sticky and never glittery or shimmery. It just leaves that perfect lit from within, just drank a green juice after my intense pilates class glow. The difference between this and the Tinted Highlight is that the Tinted Highlight is well, tinted. It is intended to be used all over while the stick is intended to pinpoint areas of the face you want to add glow to. I have it in the shade Nectar!
Vital Skin Foundation Stick
Last but certainly not least, the Foundation Stick. For me, it is more like a tinted moisturizer in stick form. It is very sheer and is intended to even out the skin tone, not fully cover up your skin. It is super creamy and lightweight and I LOVE IT. It is very similar to the Merit Minimalist Stick in terms of finish. They both leave a sheer, hydrated look to the skin and both are in stick form, however the Westman Atelier one has more than double the amount of product. I have it in the shade IV.
