I recently purchased their foundation and I love it. One of my favorites! I have not had any issues with longevity. After about 6 hours or so, I feel like that is when the foundation looks the best.
For me I love this line. I don’t apply foundation everywhere so this really works for me and it’s super quick to look put together. The only thing I’m not a fan of is the eye pods. Westman suggests using the white shadow first to make the other shade pop.
I agree that you need to use this product minimally, not all over your face. I think it is perfection and lasts all day for me. The stick lasts a long, long time making the price very reasonable. Love it!!
About a yr ago I went crazy & bought a lot of the WA products…. I agree the Foundation sticks I just Don’t Love & I have dry skin…. I do really like the Blush sticks too, & the Nectar Highlight stick, also Peau de Peche is pretty, have to go lightly w/ the Butter Bronzer, also have the same eye pods & best applied w/ fingers but I agree the White is too White I use in inner corner sometimes, I also have the Biscuit contour stick which I will try again after watching u apply, I’ve also watched All of Gucci’s tutorials on how she applies all her products …. Enjoyed watching your review of these product
I love your reviews. You are a master at critiquing without tearing down a product or company. Always kind. The prices on these products are way out of my price range, but I enjoy learning about them. Thanks, Lisa ❤
@marypierce207 Mary, you said exactly what I was thinking as I watched Lisa today. She is a master at application, a master at teaching technique, and now a master at reviewing, (even those products that disappoint). Thank you for putting my thoughts into words.
Thank you for this video. I just tried out WA for the first time, and I am obsessed! The prices are difficult to get past, but I can't get enough of her products. It's all about the ingredients for me too. The blushes, lit sticks, and fully loaded compacts are by far the best things worth your money.
I’ve been wanting to try that stick foundation, but I think now I’ll pass. Thank you for the review. I really like the Lancôme stick foundation that you recommended. Your hair always looks beautiful but it’s especially pretty today. 💗
Thank you for the honest review. I have mature skin and the Vital Skin foundation works well for me. I also love the baby cheeks blush and the contour shade in biscuit, which can also be used as an eyeshadow. Great video Lisa. 💖
Lisa - I’m trying to listen to you talk about Westman Atelier but I am so distracted by this hair - GORGEOUS! And love the length! 🤩🤩🤩 Back to the video …
I also love these blushes. The highlight stick in Nectar is gorgeous as well as the liquid lip in Nana. They are both a must try. Loving the makeup look today. So pretty. Happy New Year!
Lisa, you have to try their super loaded tinted highlight in Peau de Rose. It is SO gorgeous, kind of knocked my socks off. It has the most unique texture. Feels like a hybrid between powder and crème, and this color is TDF, it’s like a soft rose gold! My skin is light and combination. Let us know if you try it!!!
I am with you on the blush! I am 37 years old and have worn makeup since I was 11 or 12. So I’ve tried probably hundreds of blushes over the years. The WA petal blush stick is THE BEST BLUSH I have ever used.
i have been using a number of Westman Atelier products sense they were released & they are definitely some of my favorites. the highlighter in Nectar i can’t live without, along with the blush sticks. Gucci’s lip products are beautiful as well, in fact i have to say my least favorite product is the foundation. i just can’t get it to work. beautiful presentation & outstanding products for the most part. thank you for the honest review 💖
I actually use the foundation as a concealer. I’ve tried other high end concealers and this is the only one that doesn’t cake or blotch in my fine lines and creases. It lasts all day. Wonderful product, as well as the crème blushes and the highlighter is to die for!
Absolutely LOVE the blush! Also like the contour stick and the Squeaky Clean lip balm. And on a separate note … would love for you to review Jones Road Beauty by Bobbi Brown. Thanks … and Happy New Year! 🥂
Jones Road beauty was also some thing I contemplated trying so I’m anxious to hear reviews on that because I’m a little concerned it’ll be about the same sort of thing as the Westman Atelier.
The WA serum in the rollerball dispenser is a game-changer! Two weeks in, and my sensitive skin is already smoother, forehead and eye area lines reduced, and texture and pigmentation more even. It works as a primer, too.
I agree. I think these are the best blushes I’ve ever tried. I bought couchette and loved it so much I went back and got shade doudou which is more of a pop but gorgeous. I have the highlighter stick in nectar and don’t love that it doesn’t set down and stays tacky. I do love the highlighter in peau de peche (almost as much as their blushes). Can’t wait to see more reviews.
Hi Lisa ! I have the eyes pod and love them ! I watched the Westman Atelier videos on RUclips . You have to warm up the product with a brush ( not a fluffy brush, I personally use the Westman Atelier brushes) or with your fingers and the result is very beautiful. Have a good day !
I bought their lip suede lipstick in Je Reve and I love it. The formula is amazing. It has a really nice slip and it feels good on the lips the entire time you are wearing it. I find it has good staying power as well. It has a vanilla taste/smell. I have read that it has a peachy hue on some people. It is the perfect pink neutral shade for me and gives a matte, blurred look without making my lips feel dry. I find a lot of neutral pink lipsticks like Charlotte Tilbury's Pillow Talk look brown on me so I was thrilled to find a shade that actually gave me the look I wanted. The packaging is very heavy, magnetic and luxurious. I bought one of the mini blushes in Dou Dou. I find light-colored blushes and highlighters don't show up well on my pale skin so I really like this one because it is a bit darker, but blends so well that I can get the effect I want. I plan to try the contour stick next in Biscuit. Thanks for your review of the other products. It is helpful to see the product being used and to get honest feedback. Sometimes I feel like some beauty bloggers love everything they try which makes me distrust their reviews.
Thanks for your review! I was at sephora earlier today and i have a wishlist for this brand. Definitely a must save up for this brand cuz the price is very for lux and high end make up. I love the bronzer & i would love the blush stick, lip stick, & foundation stick as well as the contour stick. Might as well throw in the highlight stick too. Gonna save up for this brand!
I bought their trio set (highlighter, bronzer, and blush) during the Sephora savings event, and they are such beautiful products! It makes for a natural, glowing look that takes no time!
I love the Biscuit contour and Petal blush. I also love the Highlight in Lit. I highly recommend the mini trio of all 3 if it’s still available. A great more affordable way to try all 3. The only downside is they are not magnetic. My regular sized creams went rancid after a year so the minis are more practical as well.
Thank you for sharing Marjorie! I wish I had ordered that set first! I ordered Petal in full size first and saw that was the shade that came in the set
Yes, the foundation is best for those with drier skin and or not living in a super-humid and hot environment (and that would be me, so I love it). The cream contour is the best cream contour I've ever used -- a must have. The shadows I've never used -- the reviews have kept me from getting them, but I'm still curious to try them. The powder bronzer... omg... the best. My #1 now. The blushes are fantastic -- so natural. You should try the Superloaded Highlighter (truly a bronzer, and the rose one is more blush-like) in the pêche. Also the highlighter Lit sticks are awesome under or over foundation. They impart a glow that is amazing!
Can't wait to see what you try next! The lip palettes are very cool, too. I have the 'rouge' and the 'bordeaux'. The 'nudes' are thin and kind of 'just not there'. The palettes are all about blushing your lip with them, or you can go full on with a brush. They are a satin matte stain to near full coverage depending on application. Best over just a touch of balm.
Hi Lisa, I’ve finally had the time to sit and watch your video on this brand, it gets a lot of hype here in Australia 🇦🇺 from some but the cost is a lot more than what you payed for it…for example, the Baby Cheeks blushes are $68.00 each, Butter Bronzer is $107.00, the Contour stick is $68.00, the eyepods are $125.00 and the foundation that I was interested in is $97.00, which I won’t be purchasing after your review of it, I think the only product that I’d splurge on is the Cream Blush, I don’t really do any contouring lol for my age and I quite like the CT bronzer which will last me Forever lol 😂. Looking Lovely as always. Much Love from Janelle xoxo 💖💖💖
Great, honest review. I love luxury makeup but feel a lot of Westman Atelier isn’t worth the money. I think a lot of people WANT to love the aesthetic and excuse any deficiencies.
Sorry to disagree, I suffer from rosacea and extra sensitive skin and WA is the only brand for me that delivers performance with a natural finish and I tried a lot of brands. Your experience may differ and that is ok, but mine made me a fan of the product quality before the aesthetic.
@@Ari_Kle I hope it works for you as it does for me. I use the WA foundation brush (it is crazy expensive but, after trying other brushes, it is the one I use for the best application) and apply it in very thin layers, with the brush. It soothes the skin and the redness stays covered all day. I really hope it helps. Rosacea is not fun. Take care 😊
I have the entire line and my least favorite product is the foundation. My favorite product from WA by far is the super loaded cream highlighter compact in peche. It is the best complexion product I have in my entire makeup collection and I have 2 backups. It gives you an ethereal glow without looking like you are wearing highlighter.
Try the highlight stick in nectar and super loaded in peche. Gorgeous. This was a great review. I agree the eye pods are a bit of a miss. The lip palettes are great too.
Thank you Lisa. You just saved me $68.00 I was on the fence about purchasing this but I knew if you had a video, you would tell the truth and not be influenced by other factors 💕
I've heard the highlighter stick (nectar) is beautiful - Michele Wang loves it. Unless I see glowing reviews from the content creators I watch and trust (obviously, that includes you), I'm not going to spend my money. Sadly, it's been a mixed bag, with the highlighter and blush sticks coming on top. Of course, packaging is important in a high end product ...... but, imo, I feel the packaging is "carrying" these products. Tbh, I expect much more - a high end price ticket must deliver on packaging AND (perhaps most importantly) the product formula. Oh dear Lisa, $400 was a massively hefty price to have paid for these. I do hope you have returned the items that, quite frankly, underperformed. Thank you for a wonderful, honest and detailed review 💗🦋🦋🙏💗💗🦋🦋🙏💗💗🦋🦋🙏💗💗
I have the foundation, blush and bronzer and I love them. I live in Perth Australia so the summers are hot so I need something that stays well and this does it for me. I had an in-store test and the person who helped me told me that the foundation only goes on where you need it. It’s pricey but I’m happy to pay more - especially when it’s a vegan brand.
Hi Lisa. Guggi says that the eyeshadows have a seal that needs to be broken by rubbing your finger inside until it softens. After i did this the colors definitely intensified.
I know this video is old, but thought I’d ask if you tried again but using her pressed powder that was released later? I had the same longevity issues as you using the Vital Skin Foundation Stick! I loved the ingredients and how it never settled in my fine lines, but it didn’t last long on my skin! Since my skin suddenly began reacting to foundations I’d worn before without problems in my early 40s, I’d really wanted it to work! My search for more “natural” foundations that performed well was expensive and difficult, and it’s how I found Westman Atelier. It’s also why I was determined to find a way that it could work for me! I was excited to hear about the powder, and once I got over the “sticker shock”, I ordered it. I hoped it’d solve the longevity problem, but not accentuate any fine lines like most powders do! Honestly, I was surprised by how well it worked with the foundation! I had that same natural look, but it stayed my skin. No fine lines showed up since it’s so finely milled. Between that and how concentrated it is, VERY little is needed. You don’t want to use it like a normal powder - after 6 months of daily use it looks almost untouched! Side note here about the quality of these products…as a lifetime skincare fanatic, I NEVER slept with makeup on. But, this summer my parents had some serious health issues and mom was admitted to the hospital twice straight from the ER. I don’t leave them alone in the hospital, so I had on a full face of makeup on, but nothing packed, definitely not my skincare! The stress, worry, and exhaustion of running on very little sleep was hard. When I realized I hadn’t actually washed my makeup off for over 2 days? I was prepared to pay for it! But, my skin looked even better afterwards! I never believe any claims made by makeup companies, but I personally found this brand to be both makeup and skincare! I was also one who thought it seemed ridiculous to pay so much for a foundation made to work best if 2 shades are used! I have changed my mind on that as well! My olive toned skin tans very easily, but using SPF daily? I haven’t been in the “tan” range since the 90s! It’s almost impossible to find light or light-medium shades made for olive toned skin! I’d gotten 1 stick to test on my skin, but ordered 2 more shades to choose between. I never got to return one, and while it is pricey? Adjusting between shades and how much I use of each means I have the right shade year round!
Hands down the best eye pod shade is Tabac and it is available as a single ! I also only recommend with a finger and I think she has a brush that is supposed to be especially for these shadows but I don’t have that . I really like the shadows I think they are good for textured eyelids but am also interested in the blush and contour ! They had a gift set available for 🎄 but I hesitated it was gone sooo fast .
The blush and contour look nice, but I’ve got to say, as far as the other products, I feel I can get the same from other lines, like Mercier, Tarte, Hourglass and save some money 😀
I so appreciate your honest reviews on the products. I know that they are expensive, and for the prices, everything should be incredible, but unfortunately, that's not over the case. Glad that you are loving the contour stick and the blush. Everything looks beautiful on you. I've not tried any of their products. Thanks, Lisa❣❤🥰
I agree, the foundation and eyeshadows are so so . However, I do love their blushes and their highlighter sticks. I also really like her lipsticks (the ones in the round component). The colors are beautiful and the component feels super lux.
thanks for your honest review! appreciate that you don’t automatically disregard a brand because of its price range. i don’t buy that much makeup so when i do i like to treat myself. i saw some reviews on this and scratched this brand off of my list to get but you changed mind, will def check out the blush and maybe a lip product too
The only thing I didn’t enjoy so far is the foundation bc it has a lot of coconut oil and it broke me out. I love the contour and blush. I like the highlight in lit and the nude creamier lipsticks. You look amazing and could sale that difficult eyeshadow off your lids
I am a WA devotee and have every product in every color (except the foundation and contour - I just use my shades of those). I enjoy all of them. I am very fair so the sheer nature of the eye colors is perfect for me. I use the Brulee Lit-up stick as a bronze lipgloss. I use the other 3 as highlighters or lipgloss depending upon the tone I want on cheeks or lips. I also use the original “Lit” shade UNDER the foundation as a primer. I love the lip products, especially the gloss in Garçonne which is a natural rosy-brown-nude. Also enjoy the mascara. No itching or flaking. Happy camper.
I've never tried their products but AndreeaAli from Paris loves them. Great video, very truthful which is admirable because cost does not equal liability. I'm still loving cheek heat by Maybelline and Mac face and body fir foundation. The less the better on my 59 year old skin😁
The foundation stick is emollient and nice for dry skin and under the eyes. If you love a bright pink blush, Poppet is nice and can be sheered out. Anxious to try the butter bronzer. Great review!
Great review of some WA products, Lisa - thank you. I have her Lit Up stick and it really is *Beautiful!!* Very versatile and great for refreshing base makeup throughout the day. I love the weighty, luxurious packaging too. However, I don't think I'll be purchasing any more of her products. Maaaaybe the contour or blush stick if I feel like treating myself, but nothing else really excites me. Especially considering the price point. I don't think it's worth the hype. If the products were even slightly cheaper I think there would be far more interest in them. I'm not going to pay $78 for a bronzer that's very similar to Physicans Formula!! I'll stick with Physicians Formula and just pass on the WA packaging!! 😬😁
Thanks for doing this Lisa. Frankly, I think your True Beauty palette, which I got over the holidays, has the perfect blend of cool neutrals with great payoff and negligible fallout. I have over 50 foundations, so I will pass on this one. I love my Physician's Formula Butter Bronzer, so I don't need that. I rarely wear blush but you sold me on that. I will look forward to you making foundation, contour, and blush!
When you do buy the highlighter and lipsticks please share and review with us. Thank you so much for sharing this information and video on these products. I will now try them. This is the beauty of makeup reviews.!!! 👏🌻
Hi, thank you so much for all your wonderful and helpful content, I live by your hints and tips. Could yo7 do something around women who wear glasses and how to do eye make-up for this? Keep up the great work 😍😍
Hi Lisa, I’ve had a response from a strange identity implying they are you. Is it from you? If not, I am not the only one who has received this type of message.
Hi Lisa, I love Westman Atelier products! I'm with you about the foundation I can never make it look good. Here are a few products you should try. The blush in Duo Duo is so pretty and Bichette is unbelievable! My favorite product is "super loaded tinted highlighter" in the color Peau De Peche with the contour stick it is just amazing! Your brushes work SO well with that product. I can't wait for Angi's concealer brush to come out alone. I have all your other ones! I'm an Austin girl too and can't believe I haven't run into you at Sephora or Bluemercury :). Love your videos! Thanks for all you do!
Thanks for your review !I ❤️the Westman Atelier stick foundation,blush sticks,contour sticks,highlighter and bronzer !What I ❤️about these products is that they are so easy to apply ,they are buildable and they give your skin a beautiful glow !I purchased a single eyeshadow pod but I haven’t tried it yet and thanks for your application tips for it !
Hi Lisa, great honest review! I've heard about these blushes, but the Victoria Beckham blush sticks I've heard are even better. Have you tried those yet?
Thank you for the insight. I think you would love phytosurgence blushes. So economical yet very special. Fabulous products and you may love their no nonsense small business owner attitude 😍
Your reviews always seem spot on! I trust you so much. I wish you had done this review a year ago. Hahahaha I agree wholeheartedly with the eye pods review. I bought them last year because I was influenced by another beauty influencer who raved about the shadows. I feel like I paid $80 for 1 eye shadow. I bought the Les Jours eye pods, and I only really like the Tabac (middle shade). The white is really white. And the shadows do not apply well. I’ve used your brushes (which are my fav and go-to) as well as a Rephr un dyed goat hair (stiffer brush) and still very difficult to apply. I don’t like using my fingers because I feel like shadow just smears all over the place and I have small lids. Anywho, I basically didn’t buy another Westman Atelier product for fear of spending so much money and not using the product. I love the Fenty cream blushes, but you make me want to try the baby cheeks. Maybe when I’m ready for a new cream blush…my other fav cream blushes are the Rare Beauty. That stuff is going to last a lifetime! Thank you for your honest reviews and wonderful educational beauty tips. You’re the BEST!
Thank you for the thoughtful review. I do love WA (the blush, Lit) but I use complexion drops instead of the foundation stick and for me it goes on perfectly and looks natural all day (I only use 2…maybe 3 for at night and blend with a foundation brush I bought at Nordstrom Rack).
I am in my late 30s and in Texas and love the foundation, cream blush and bronzer. The cream blush lasted for 7 hours in 106 heat in Texas. I am dry and it just looked beautiful. I love the glowing goddess look though…
Hi Lisa, I just subscribed to your channel, literally, just now. And, I wanted to let you know that, I appreciate how detailed you are with the swatches and the descriptions in your own words as well as showing them on your skin, of these products. You’re a natural at your RUclips channel and I thank you so much for your genuine and kind personality. I really enjoyed this review from you. Thanks so much and you have a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful day, too! 💯😊👋🏼
Omg how I love ur reviews and the detail. U truly r the perfect teacher, your knowledge shines thru with every recommendation or thought. U come at this game, this beauty space at a different angle, so unintentionally unique and comfortable to the viewer. You’re genuinely nice, genuinely caring for the general viewer. I wish you well in all your successes and hope that you too, have many wonderful days ahead.
Love the blushes! I love the Butter Bronzer, but it does feel a little heavy sometimes and the fragrance can be a lot (I know that’s why some people love it) I may try the bronzer for a clean version of the Butter. Thanks for the review!
I love the highlight stick in the color Lit! It gives the perfect 'lit from within' glow! I also love the contour & blush sticks as well. I have yet to try anything else.
I live in Scotland and have to agree about the foundation stick, it just doesn’t work on my skin either It seems to go into patches as though I have dry skin which I don’t Watched a few tutorials thinking I wasn’t applying properly Very disappointing for the money
I prefer nudestix cream blushes. Not a clean product but appeal to more complexions. I can’t justify that price tag, especially now, when I’m wearing a mask a majority of my work day as a teacher!
I tried several products last year. Foundation does not work for me and the eye pods had no payoff, just disappeared. The blushes are ok but I have others I prefer and I actually like powder blushes better even tho I'm 72! I do like the contour but can't find a way to make the highlighter work. I love Gucci and so wanted to support her but won't purchase again for obvious reasons. 2022 is the year I try to use what I have!!!
Hi! The best product is the highlight/blush topper in the round component in Peau de Peche… in my opinion it’s better than the highlight sticks. Have a great day!
I guess you can design a brush for cream eyeshadow application, so it will be stiffer, denser and more elastic to grab such type of a product. Thank you for such a nice video😍
I have the bronzer and foundation…I really like them both especially the bronzer…gorgeous and their packaging is stunning 🤩 definitely will pick up a blush!!’
The first product I bought from WA was their Minette blush and I loved it!! Michele Wang opened my eyes to this brand. Since then I have bought the Petal blush...love it and somtimes wear it together with Minette. I have tried the blushes as lipstick but for me I need a little more pigment/color so I tend not to use them for lip color. I too love the contour shade biscuit and use it also as a one and done eye shadow. The highlighter stick in nectar is lovely and I can see that being used on the eyes as well. I have the same feeling about the foundation stick...it is just ok. Possibly not the right color for me as well. I am a fan of stick foundations and I'd love you to do an Hourglass or Vapour video. Thanks and Happy New Year!
The cream blush stick reminds me of EM Cosmetics' version, which is $30. You look beautiful, Lisa, but I can't justify the price, even though the packaging is lovely & luxe. Thanks for your honest review!!
I agree, the foundation is definitely not long wearing. It is not one I can wear all day. But everything else (minus the eyeshadows) are great. The Super Tinted Loaded Highlighter is really gorgeous. It is worth picking up.
You have to try highlight stick in nectar , it is amazing . I love contour stick and lip balm and blushes. I like be foundation too but I also use just a little bit of it applied with brush . I would not advise to apply it from the stick on the face - it will look heavy . I’m not impressed with eyeshadow just as you say it is a lot of work to build it .
Love your look on this video, Lisa! Always enjoy watching your videos. I love WA contour sticks and the lip balm in Nana. The lip balm is not sticky and gives off a gorgeous shine to it. It just makes my lips look healthy and my lips but better. I encourage you to try them. After this video, I think I will give the blush sticks a try
You shared, Lisa, that you’d wear the bronzer in that heavy compact daily and the biscuit contour stick (which comes in a mini) not every day. (Did I get that right?) I am more interested in the ‘every day’ products. Also, there are rave reviews about the Lit Up Glow Highlighter Stick (which shows wet on the skin) and the Super Loaded Cream Highlighter (which is pricey); I’d welcome hearing more about those. Thank you!
Love hearing your thoughts!! Why would I spend $75 as opposed to drugstore prices? Ingredients. Clean is so much more expensive 🥴. 😢 I’m not spending it, but some people might have to. 😩 Love you!! Thank you for this!! 😘
Thanks Lisa! These blushes have been on my radar for a while…but it doesn’t sound like I need to run out and grab any of these other items. That being said…I would LOVE to see some cream blushes/highlighters from BK Beauty! 😉💕
I recently purchased their foundation and I love it. One of my favorites! I have not had any issues with longevity. After about 6 hours or so, I feel like that is when the foundation looks the best.
The only thing I bought from them that I didn’t regret is the blush. The eyeshadows felt like a robbery 😢
Super loaded tinted highlight is the best! Peau De Peche is the perfect one and done cheek color. Works on my very fair skin!
Thanks for sharing!!
I love the “Super Loaded Tinted Highlight” in the colors “Peau de Rose “ and “Peau de Peche”.
For me I love this line. I don’t apply foundation everywhere so this really works for me and it’s super quick to look put together. The only thing I’m not a fan of is the eye pods. Westman suggests using the white shadow first to make the other shade pop.
I agree that you need to use this product minimally, not all over your face. I think it is perfection and lasts all day for me. The stick lasts a long, long time making the price very reasonable. Love it!!
About a yr ago I went crazy & bought a lot of the WA products…. I agree the Foundation sticks I just Don’t Love & I have dry skin…. I do really like the Blush sticks too, & the Nectar Highlight stick, also Peau de Peche is pretty, have to go lightly w/ the Butter Bronzer, also have the same eye pods & best applied w/ fingers but I agree the White is too White I use in inner corner sometimes, I also have the Biscuit contour stick which I will try again after watching u apply, I’ve also watched All of Gucci’s tutorials on how she applies all her products …. Enjoyed watching your review of these product
You should try the super loaded highlight or the highlight stick in nectar. So multi functional and stunning on the skin!
Thank you Mylie! I will!
I love your reviews. You are a master at critiquing without tearing down a product or company. Always kind. The prices on these products are way out of my price range, but I enjoy learning about them. Thanks, Lisa ❤

I am with you on the blush! I am 37 years old and have worn makeup since I was 11 or 12. So I’ve tried probably hundreds of blushes over the years. The WA petal blush stick is THE BEST BLUSH I have ever used.
That blush is the best I have ever used Holy Grail. And the packaging is amazing

Jones Road beauty was also some thing I contemplated trying so I’m anxious to hear reviews on that because I’m a little concerned it’ll be about the same sort of thing as the Westman Atelier.
Oh yes! That is a brand I have been meaning to try!
The WA serum in the rollerball dispenser is a game-changer! Two weeks in, and my sensitive skin is already smoother, forehead and eye area lines reduced, and texture and pigmentation more even. It works as a primer, too.
I agree. I think these are the best blushes I’ve ever tried. I bought couchette and loved it so much I went back and got shade doudou which is more of a pop but gorgeous. I have the highlighter stick in nectar and don’t love that it doesn’t set down and stays tacky. I do love the highlighter in peau de peche (almost as much as their blushes). Can’t wait to see more reviews.
peau de peche is not a powder but a cream🤔
@@jmbutler5 yes sorry. But it has more of a dry-down.
Hi Lisa ! I have the eyes pod and love them ! I watched the Westman Atelier videos on RUclips . You have to warm up the product with a brush ( not a fluffy brush, I personally use the Westman Atelier brushes) or with your fingers and the result is very beautiful. Have a good day !
Thank you for sharing Amira! They really are a pretty and beautiful formula but very unique.
I bought their lip suede lipstick in Je Reve and I love it. The formula is amazing. It has a really nice slip and it feels good on the lips the entire time you are wearing it. I find it has good staying power as well. It has a vanilla taste/smell. I have read that it has a peachy hue on some people. It is the perfect pink neutral shade for me and gives a matte, blurred look without making my lips feel dry. I find a lot of neutral pink lipsticks like Charlotte Tilbury's Pillow Talk look brown on me so I was thrilled to find a shade that actually gave me the look I wanted. The packaging is very heavy, magnetic and luxurious. I bought one of the mini blushes in Dou Dou. I find light-colored blushes and highlighters don't show up well on my pale skin so I really like this one because it is a bit darker, but blends so well that I can get the effect I want. I plan to try the contour stick next in Biscuit. Thanks for your review of the other products. It is helpful to see the product being used and to get honest feedback. Sometimes I feel like some beauty bloggers love everything they try which makes me distrust their reviews.
Thanks for your review! I was at sephora earlier today and i have a wishlist for this brand. Definitely a must save up for this brand cuz the price is very for lux and high end make up. I love the bronzer & i would love the blush stick, lip stick, & foundation stick as well as the contour stick. Might as well throw in the highlight stick too. Gonna save up for this brand!
I bought their trio set (highlighter, bronzer, and blush) during the Sephora savings event, and they are such beautiful products! It makes for a natural, glowing look that takes no time!
I love the Biscuit contour and Petal blush. I also love the Highlight in Lit. I highly recommend the mini trio of all 3 if it’s still available. A great more affordable way to try all 3. The only downside is they are not magnetic. My regular sized creams went rancid after a year so the minis are more practical as well.
Thank you for sharing Marjorie! I wish I had ordered that set first! I ordered Petal in full size first and saw that was the shade that came in the set
Yes, the foundation is best for those with drier skin and or not living in a super-humid and hot environment (and that would be me, so I love it). The cream contour is the best cream contour I've ever used -- a must have. The shadows I've never used -- the reviews have kept me from getting them, but I'm still curious to try them. The powder bronzer... omg... the best. My #1 now. The blushes are fantastic -- so natural.
You should try the Superloaded Highlighter (truly a bronzer, and the rose one is more blush-like) in the pêche. Also the highlighter Lit sticks are awesome under or over foundation. They impart a glow that is amazing!
Thank you for sharing! I'll definitely pick up more products to try!
Can't wait to see what you try next!
The lip palettes are very cool, too. I have the 'rouge' and the 'bordeaux'. The 'nudes' are thin and kind of 'just not there'. The palettes are all about blushing your lip with them, or you can go full on with a brush. They are a satin matte stain to near full coverage depending on application. Best over just a touch of balm.
Hi Lisa, I’ve finally had the time to sit and watch your video on this brand, it gets a lot of hype here in Australia 🇦🇺 from some but the cost is a lot more than what you payed for it…for example, the Baby Cheeks blushes are $68.00 each, Butter Bronzer is $107.00, the Contour stick is $68.00, the eyepods are $125.00 and the foundation that I was interested in is $97.00, which I won’t be purchasing after your review of it, I think the only product that I’d splurge on is the Cream Blush, I don’t really do any contouring lol for my age and I quite like the CT bronzer which will last me Forever lol 😂. Looking Lovely as always. Much Love from Janelle xoxo 💖💖💖
Great, honest review. I love luxury makeup but feel a lot of Westman Atelier isn’t worth the money. I think a lot of people WANT to love the aesthetic and excuse any deficiencies.
I think you summed it up perfectly!
Sorry to disagree, I suffer from rosacea and extra sensitive skin and WA is the only brand for me that delivers performance with a natural finish and I tried a lot of brands. Your experience may differ and that is ok, but mine made me a fan of the product quality before the aesthetic.
@@danybg7522 That’s good to know as I have bad rosacea and sensitive skin. I haven’t tried the foundation, just some other colour items.
@@Ari_Kle I hope it works for you as it does for me. I use the WA foundation brush (it is crazy expensive but, after trying other brushes, it is the one I use for the best application) and apply it in very thin layers, with the brush. It soothes the skin and the redness stays covered all day. I really hope it helps. Rosacea is not fun. Take care 😊
Lisa, your hair is EVERYTHING!!
I’m obsessed with the super loaded highlighter in Peu de Pesh it is so beautiful.
I have the entire line and my least favorite product is the foundation. My favorite product from WA by far is the super loaded cream highlighter compact in peche. It is the best complexion product I have in my entire makeup collection and I have 2 backups. It gives you an ethereal glow without looking like you are wearing highlighter.
Try the highlight stick in nectar and super loaded in peche. Gorgeous. This was a great review. I agree the eye pods are a bit of a miss. The lip palettes are great too.
I have the foundation stick and the superloaded highlight. ❤️
Thank you Lisa. You just saved me $68.00
I was on the fence about purchasing this but I knew if you had a video, you would tell the truth and not be influenced by other factors 💕
Loved your video! I loved the makeup and your hair! So well put together. 💜💜💜
Thank you so much Bonnie!
I've heard the highlighter stick (nectar) is beautiful - Michele Wang loves it.
Unless I see glowing reviews from the content creators I watch and trust (obviously, that includes you), I'm not going to spend my money. Sadly, it's been a mixed bag, with the highlighter and blush sticks coming on top.
Of course, packaging is important in a high end product ...... but, imo, I feel the packaging is "carrying" these products. Tbh, I expect much more - a high end price ticket must deliver on packaging AND (perhaps most importantly) the product formula.
Oh dear Lisa, $400 was a massively hefty price to have paid for these. I do hope you have returned the items that, quite frankly, underperformed.
Thank you for a wonderful, honest and detailed review
💗🦋🦋🙏💗💗🦋🦋🙏💗💗🦋🦋🙏💗💗
I have the foundation, blush and bronzer and I love them. I live in Perth Australia so the summers are hot so I need something that stays well and this does it for me. I had an in-store test and the person who helped me told me that the foundation only goes on where you need it. It’s pricey but I’m happy to pay more - especially when it’s a vegan brand.
Your hair looks so beautiful!!
Hi Lisa. Guggi says that the eyeshadows have a seal that needs to be broken by rubbing your finger inside until it softens. After i did this the colors definitely intensified.
I know this video is old, but thought I’d ask if you tried again but using her pressed powder that was released later? I had the same longevity issues as you using the Vital Skin Foundation Stick! I loved the ingredients and how it never settled in my fine lines, but it didn’t last long on my skin! Since my skin suddenly began reacting to foundations I’d worn before without problems in my early 40s, I’d really wanted it to work! My search for more “natural” foundations that performed well was expensive and difficult, and it’s how I found Westman Atelier. It’s also why I was determined to find a way that it could work for me! I was excited to hear about the powder, and once I got over the “sticker shock”, I ordered it. I hoped it’d solve the longevity problem, but not accentuate any fine lines like most powders do!
Honestly, I was surprised by how well it worked with the foundation! I had that same natural look, but it stayed my skin. No fine lines showed up since it’s so finely milled. Between that and how concentrated it is, VERY little is needed. You don’t want to use it like a normal powder - after 6 months of daily use it looks almost untouched!
Side note here about the quality of these products…as a lifetime skincare fanatic, I NEVER slept with makeup on. But, this summer my parents had some serious health issues and mom was admitted to the hospital twice straight from the ER. I don’t leave them alone in the hospital, so I had on a full face of makeup on, but nothing packed, definitely not my skincare! The stress, worry, and exhaustion of running on very little sleep was hard. When I realized I hadn’t actually washed my makeup off for over 2 days? I was prepared to pay for it! But, my skin looked even better afterwards! I never believe any claims made by makeup companies, but I personally found this brand to be both makeup and skincare!
I was also one who thought it seemed ridiculous to pay so much for a foundation made to work best if 2 shades are used! I have changed my mind on that as well! My olive toned skin tans very easily, but using SPF daily? I haven’t been in the “tan” range since the 90s! It’s almost impossible to find light or light-medium shades made for olive toned skin! I’d gotten 1 stick to test on my skin, but ordered 2 more shades to choose between. I never got to return one, and while it is pricey? Adjusting between shades and how much I use of each means I have the right shade year round!
Hands down the best eye pod shade is Tabac and it is available as a single ! I also only recommend with a finger and I think she has a brush that is supposed to be especially for these shadows but I don’t have that . I really like the shadows I think they are good for textured eyelids but am also interested in the blush and contour ! They had a gift set available for 🎄 but I hesitated it was gone sooo fast .
The blush and contour look nice, but I’ve got to say, as far as the other products, I feel I can get the same from other lines, like Mercier, Tarte, Hourglass and save some money 😀
I so appreciate your honest reviews on the products. I know that they are expensive, and for the prices, everything should be incredible, but unfortunately, that's not over the case. Glad that you are loving the contour stick and the blush. Everything looks beautiful on you. I've not tried any of their products. Thanks, Lisa❣❤🥰
Thanks Renee! :)
I agree, the foundation and eyeshadows are so so . However, I do love their blushes and their highlighter sticks. I also really like her lipsticks (the ones in the round component). The colors are beautiful and the component feels super lux.
thanks for your honest review! appreciate that you don’t automatically disregard a brand because of its price range. i don’t buy that much makeup so when i do i like to treat myself. i saw some reviews on this and scratched this brand off of my list to get but you changed mind, will def check out the blush and maybe a lip product too
Lisa, you look stunning in this video. Your makeup& your hair look beautiful. Thanks for another informative video.
The only thing I didn’t enjoy so far is the foundation bc it has a lot of coconut oil and it broke me out. I love the contour and blush. I like the highlight in lit and the nude creamier lipsticks. You look amazing and could sale that difficult eyeshadow off your lids
I am a WA devotee and have every product in every color (except the foundation and contour - I just use my shades of those). I enjoy all of them. I am very fair so the sheer nature of the eye colors is perfect for me. I use the Brulee Lit-up stick as a bronze lipgloss. I use the other 3 as highlighters or lipgloss depending upon the tone I want on cheeks or lips. I also use the original “Lit” shade UNDER the foundation as a primer. I love the lip products, especially the gloss in Garçonne which is a natural rosy-brown-nude. Also enjoy the mascara. No itching or flaking. Happy camper.
Even the white color in the eyeshadow set mentioned is sheer enough for my fair skin 😀
I've never tried their products but AndreeaAli from Paris loves them.
Great video, very truthful which is admirable because cost does not equal liability. I'm still loving cheek heat by Maybelline and Mac face and body fir foundation. The less the better on my 59 year old skin😁
Before I even start the video, I have to say this deep burgundy color on you is absolutely gorgeous!
The foundation stick is emollient and nice for dry skin and under the eyes. If you love a bright pink blush, Poppet is nice and can be sheered out. Anxious to try the butter bronzer. Great review!
Thank you Christine!
Lisa, I loooove all your videos. They are educational and informative. Do you have a video of cool toned blushes you love? ❤️
Am I the only straight man who watches her videos? She is so lovely 😍
Great review of some WA products, Lisa - thank you. I have her Lit Up stick and it really is *Beautiful!!* Very versatile and great for refreshing base makeup throughout the day. I love the weighty, luxurious packaging too.
However, I don't think I'll be purchasing any more of her products. Maaaaybe the contour or blush stick if I feel like treating myself, but nothing else really excites me. Especially considering the price point.
I don't think it's worth the hype. If the products were even slightly cheaper I think there would be far more interest in them. I'm not going to pay $78 for a bronzer that's very similar to Physicans Formula!! I'll stick with Physicians Formula and just pass on the WA packaging!! 😬😁
I been using baby cheek blush for 6momths now....LOVE them! Melts right into the skin! The color Bichette looks like natural sunburn.
@WhATSAAP cell➊➌➌➋➋➑➋➐➊0➋ I don't understand? Why am I replying a private message to you?
Thanks for doing this Lisa. Frankly, I think your True Beauty palette, which I got over the holidays, has the perfect blend of cool neutrals with great payoff and negligible fallout. I have over 50 foundations, so I will pass on this one. I love my Physician's Formula Butter Bronzer, so I don't need that. I rarely wear blush but you sold me on that. I will look forward to you making foundation, contour, and blush!
@WhATSAAP cell➊➌➌➋➋➑➋➐➊0➋ This is fraud. Stop it.
Love your hair. It’s beautiful.
Thank you so much 😀
I can’t wait for this ! I trust you and I haven’t gotten any WA yet ! Thank you for this. I love your hair. So cute
When you do buy the highlighter and lipsticks please share and review with us. Thank you so much for sharing this information and video on these products. I will now try them. This is the beauty of makeup reviews.!!! 👏🌻
Oh the blush is so, so pretty!
I'm grateful that you are here !
Hi, thank you so much for all your wonderful and helpful content, I live by your hints and tips. Could yo7 do something around women who wear glasses and how to do eye make-up for this? Keep up the great work 😍😍
Hi Lisa, I’ve had a response from a strange identity implying they are you. Is it from you? If not, I am not the only one who has received this type of message.
Hi Lisa, I love Westman Atelier products! I'm with you about the foundation I can never make it look good. Here are a few products you should try. The blush in Duo Duo is so pretty and Bichette is unbelievable! My favorite product is "super loaded tinted highlighter" in the color Peau De Peche with the contour stick it is just amazing! Your brushes work SO well with that product. I can't wait for Angi's concealer brush to come out alone. I have all your other ones! I'm an Austin girl too and can't believe I haven't run into you at Sephora or Bluemercury :). Love your videos! Thanks for all you do!
Thanks for your review !I ❤️the Westman Atelier stick foundation,blush sticks,contour sticks,highlighter and bronzer !What I ❤️about these products is that they are so easy to apply ,they are buildable and they give your skin a beautiful glow !I purchased a single eyeshadow pod but I haven’t tried it yet and thanks for your application tips for it !
Thank you @Lisa J 💕 you're always a pleasure to watch! I loved your review of these products. Love, Hugs & Kisses! 🥰😘😍
Stephanie in Kentucky 💫✨🌟
Hi Lisa, great honest review! I've heard about these blushes, but the Victoria Beckham blush sticks I've heard are even better. Have you tried those yet?
Oh thanks for sharing! I haven't tried those yet.
Your new shoulder length cut is so very flattering!
I like the radiance the foundation gives your skin
You look gorgeous in this video, Lisa! 💕 Loving your hair color!
Thank you for the insight. I think you would love phytosurgence blushes. So economical yet very special. Fabulous products and you may love their no nonsense small business owner attitude 😍
Your reviews always seem spot on! I trust you so much. I wish you had done this review a year ago. Hahahaha I agree wholeheartedly with the eye pods review. I bought them last year because I was influenced by another beauty influencer who raved about the shadows. I feel like I paid $80 for 1 eye shadow. I bought the Les Jours eye pods, and I only really like the Tabac (middle shade). The white is really white. And the shadows do not apply well. I’ve used your brushes (which are my fav and go-to) as well as a Rephr un dyed goat hair (stiffer brush) and still very difficult to apply. I don’t like using my fingers because I feel like shadow just smears all over the place and I have small lids. Anywho, I basically didn’t buy another Westman Atelier product for fear of spending so much money and not using the product. I love the Fenty cream blushes, but you make me want to try the baby cheeks. Maybe when I’m ready for a new cream blush…my other fav cream blushes are the Rare Beauty. That stuff is going to last a lifetime! Thank you for your honest reviews and wonderful educational beauty tips. You’re the BEST!
Thank you for the thoughtful review. I do love WA (the blush, Lit) but I use complexion drops instead of the foundation stick and for me it goes on perfectly and looks natural all day (I only use 2…maybe 3 for at night and blend with a foundation brush I bought at Nordstrom Rack).
I am in my late 30s and in Texas and love the foundation, cream blush and bronzer. The cream blush lasted for 7 hours in 106 heat in Texas. I am dry and it just looked beautiful. I love the glowing goddess look though…
Hi Lisa, I just subscribed to your channel, literally, just now. And, I wanted to let you know that, I appreciate how detailed you are with the swatches and the descriptions in your own words as well as showing them on your skin, of these products. You’re a natural at your RUclips channel and I thank you so much for your genuine and kind personality. I really enjoyed this review from you. Thanks so much and you have a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful day, too! 💯😊👋🏼
Omg how I love ur reviews and the detail. U truly r the perfect teacher, your knowledge shines thru with every recommendation or thought. U come at this game, this beauty space at a different angle, so unintentionally unique and comfortable to the viewer. You’re genuinely nice, genuinely caring for the general viewer. I wish you well in all your successes and hope that you too, have many wonderful days ahead.
Love the blushes! I love the Butter Bronzer, but it does feel a little heavy sometimes and the fragrance can be a lot (I know that’s why some people love it) I may try the bronzer for a clean version of the Butter. Thanks for the review!
I love the highlight stick in the color Lit! It gives the perfect 'lit from within' glow! I also love the contour & blush sticks as well. I have yet to try anything else.
Thanks for sharing!!
Loving your videos. Please do a hair tutorial with these awesome wavy curls and your product recommendations. Thank you!
I live in Scotland and have to agree about the foundation stick, it just doesn’t work on my skin either
It seems to go into patches as though I have dry skin which I don’t
Watched a few tutorials thinking I wasn’t applying properly
Very disappointing for the money
I prefer nudestix cream blushes. Not a clean product but appeal to more complexions. I can’t justify that price tag, especially now, when I’m wearing a mask a majority of my work day as a teacher!
I was considering buying the mini trio set. I love your new filming setup and love your haircut. Happy new year!
I tried several products last year. Foundation does not work for me and the eye pods had no payoff, just disappeared. The blushes are ok but I have others I prefer and I actually like powder blushes better even tho I'm 72! I do like the contour but can't find a way to make the highlighter work. I love Gucci and so wanted to support her but won't purchase again for obvious reasons. 2022 is the year I try to use what I have!!!
Hi Lisa, love the new filming area! Thanks for your honest reviews. 💖
Thank you Cathy! I am mixing it up, was ready for something new and clean
I love the eyeshadow on your eyes!
Their peau de peche super loaded highlighter is my favorite makeup product ever.
Hi! The best product is the highlight/blush topper in the round component in Peau de Peche… in my opinion it’s better than the highlight sticks. Have a great day!
Loved the contour stick and the blushes,! I also found the shadows hard to work with. Thank you
I guess you can design a brush for cream eyeshadow application, so it will be stiffer, denser and more elastic to grab such type of a product. Thank you for such a nice video😍
Hi Lisa, I know you had to work extra on some products…but you still look absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Have a safe trip 💕
I have the bronzer and foundation…I really like them both especially the bronzer…gorgeous and their packaging is stunning 🤩 definitely will pick up a blush!!’
Beautiful makeup look Lisa xoxo
Liking your background with the flowers in the bottles xoxo
Thank you. Nadia! Have a beautiful week!
The first product I bought from WA was their Minette blush and I loved it!! Michele Wang opened my eyes to this brand. Since then I have bought the Petal blush...love it and somtimes wear it together with Minette. I have tried the blushes as lipstick but for me I need a little more pigment/color so I tend not to use them for lip color. I too love the contour shade biscuit and use it also as a one and done eye shadow. The highlighter stick in nectar is lovely and I can see that being used on the eyes as well. I have the same feeling about the foundation stick...it is just ok. Possibly not the right color for me as well. I am a fan of stick foundations and I'd love you to do an Hourglass or Vapour video. Thanks and Happy New Year!
The cream blush stick reminds me of EM Cosmetics' version, which is $30. You look beautiful, Lisa, but I can't justify the price, even though the packaging is lovely & luxe. Thanks for your honest review!!
I agree, the foundation is definitely not long wearing. It is not one I can wear all day. But everything else (minus the eyeshadows) are great. The Super Tinted Loaded Highlighter is really gorgeous. It is worth picking up.
The lit up highlighter stick is great but I can only use it under the foundation. The lip palette is amazing. I absolutely love it!!!!!
You have to try highlight stick in nectar , it is amazing . I love contour stick and lip balm and blushes. I like be foundation too but I also use just a little bit of it applied with brush . I would not advise to apply it from the stick on the face - it will look heavy . I’m not impressed with eyeshadow just as you say it is a lot of work to build it .
Love your look on this video, Lisa! Always enjoy watching your videos. I love WA contour sticks and the lip balm in Nana. The lip balm is not sticky and gives off a gorgeous shine to it. It just makes my lips look healthy and my lips but better. I encourage you to try them. After this video, I think I will give the blush sticks a try
You shared, Lisa, that you’d wear the bronzer in that heavy compact daily and the biscuit contour stick (which comes in a mini) not every day. (Did I get that right?) I am more interested in the ‘every day’ products. Also, there are rave reviews about the Lit Up Glow Highlighter Stick (which shows wet on the skin) and the Super Loaded Cream Highlighter (which is pricey); I’d welcome hearing more about those. Thank you!
Love hearing your thoughts!!
Why would I spend $75 as opposed to drugstore prices? Ingredients. Clean is so much more expensive 🥴. 😢
I’m not spending it, but some people might have to. 😩
Love you!! Thank you for this!! 😘
Thanks Lisa! These blushes have been on my radar for a while…but it doesn’t sound like I need to run out and grab any of these other items.
That being said…I would LOVE to see some cream blushes/highlighters from BK Beauty! 😉💕
