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!
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. 💗
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.
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!
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.
Beautiful Lisa, you look gorgeous in this video!! Hair, makeup, just lovely! I have the highlighter in Nectar, the contour in biscuit, and blush in couchette and dou dou. Absolutely love them all! Happy to see your review. Considered the bronzer but decided I have been enjoying my cream bronzers more recently, and I don't tend to like stick foundation. Hope you're having a nice new year so far!
I absolutely love to watch your videos Lisa. You always give an honest review and I appreciate your thoughts. I haven’t tried any WA products. Very pricey for sure. Might pick up a blush or two. I’ve heard the highlights are lovely. Might wait for your review to pick that up
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!!
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. 💖
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.
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😁
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!!!
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?
Hey Lisa! I, too, was interested in the line, specifically the “baby cheeks” blushes. I am always looking for so called “clean products” to replace others in my collection. Upon purchasing the set during the Sephora Event, I was SHOCKED to read the ingredient list of this “clean” line…if you will look at the ingredient list on the blush (and maybe other items, I did not purchase nor read) “Polyethylene” is listed near the top of the list. It is a PLASTIC that is primarily used in packaging. 😳😳😳 I do not want this on my cheeks in a cream form and certainly not on my lips…. Check it out and come to your own conclusion!
What clean brand is your favorite? I just purchased quite a bit from Ilia, but I have not used any of it yet. I also have Catrice. Please share what you use. I'm new to makeup, and only want clean brands. THANK YOU, and bless you!
polyethylene is safe in makeup because the molecules are very large and cannot be absorbed into skin, its used as a binder to keep ingrediants together and cohesive. its in the majority of makeup products including mascara eyeliner etc... and very hard to find makeup without it. in scientific studies its found safe for the skin. just fyi....
Hi Lisa ! I have the eyes pod and love them ! I watched the Westman Atelier videos on UA-cam . 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 !
Hi Lisa! Thank you so much for this time I spent with you. I never tried Westman Atelier, is too expensive for me! But I saw severa times the creater of the brand makes beauty tutorials. Thank you for the blush tip, who knows if I eventually one day could pay for this product! All the best! See you in your next one!!!
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 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
It’s all in the formula. Generally higher priced cosmetics have better ingredients and better or more advanced formulations. Personally my budget is a drug store and Ulta one that occasionally can justify a luxe purchase here and there to round out my makeup collection.
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
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.
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 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!
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 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 💖
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 …
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 💖💖💖
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!!!
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.
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!
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.
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'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 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!
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!! 😬😁
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.
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
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 don’t understand when beauty influencers seem concerned about what they spend on beauty products. After all, they can deduct the cost on their taxes.
I tried the foundation when it first came out. I hated the feel, could not wash it off fast enough! I just felt so heavy! I have been wearing foundations of all types for decades so it's not like I'm new to sticks or heavy creams. I also get a pretentious vide from the brand so I wasn't interested in looking further, unless you love something
I recently tried Westman Atelier Face Trace Contour Stick (Biscuit) and loved the mini size (Petite) Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Blush Stick (Petal). I will probably try more of the brand.
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.
What lipstick are you wearing in this video? Great fall/winter color. We have the same coloring and I have a hard time finding a lip color that I like. Thank 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!
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.
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 don’t think price determines how long a foundation should last through out the day. It’s meant to be super clean ingredient foundation with active ingredients for healthier skin. It’s by far the cleanest foundation I’ve personally come across. People have different priorities and that’s totally fine, so while it might not be worth it to you, doesn’t mean it’s not worth it at all. For someone like me, with allergies to literally everything, this is a game changer. Also, it’s not meant to be worn this way. You’re suppose to use minimal product and 2 shades for a real life skin like finish. It would wear a lot better… just saying 🙄
Thought the same thing. WA pricetag comes with the promise of Cleansest ingredients, carbon offset, and "perfecting" and ever-so-naturally "enhancing" but not overpowering your face. She put on waaay too much foundation. That's why it wears badly this way.
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 .
I got this as part of a PR gift, and I was not that impressed. My foundation stick does not twist up, and my Dior Foundation is nearly $20 cheaper with much better coverage.
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.
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 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 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.
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 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 UA-cam 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! 💯😊👋🏼
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❣❤🥰
What brush did you use for the blush? I’ve been looking at your site trying to decide ever since I got this blush which I also love. I got the mini contour recently and love, I see you used your 108 for that
I also was intrigued by this line while perusing Nordstrom one day. The reviews were very positive. However, the price point is really formidable. Interesting your comment about the BK eye brush used with the creme shadow. Lisa, your brushes are excellent and so soft. However, the softness if the BK bristles are not right for these type of cream shadows. I have the RMS multi use highlighters that I use on my lids. I tried a BK brush and found it did not have the pick up or payoff for the reasons you mentioned with the Westman shadow. What works for me with these shadows is my 30 + year old natural hair MAC lid brush. The number is no.longer visible on the handle. Could it be 252? It is flat, dense, and rather stiff which is what these formulas demand for application. Whether you like these products or not, your look today is lovely. Your lashes are amazing. Are they extensions?
Thank you Carol! Yes, I have lash extensions back on. :) And the MAC 252 is a flat stiff orange synthetic fiber brush.. I wonder if you have the 239 (stiff white fiber) or the 213 (brown fibers)? I have some 20+ year old MAC brushes too! They feel so special to me. :) Thanks for sharing!
@@lisajmakeup I just guessed at the number. It is the brown hair and it is natural. I do not have any synthetic MAC brushes. I treasure my MAC brushes too. With proper care they last. This morning I tried my latest BK the 105 round foundation brush. I used it to dust on my Jane Iredale powder me dry SPF 30 in the old canister. It worked beautifully. I went over my face and neck with the 106 sans any more powder just to get that light as air skin kissed BK Beauty feel😉
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!
Lisa, you look stunning in this video. Your makeup& your hair look beautiful. Thanks for another informative video.
The only thing I bought from them that I didn’t regret is the blush. The eyeshadows felt like a robbery 😢
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!
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. 💗

For $68, that foundation needs more cowbell. Wow are Tom Ford shadow quads even $88?
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!
Love WA products!! 😍 you should try the super loaded highlighters and the highlight sticks!
They have the best masara. I have hooded eyes and this mascara keeps my lashes up. No preservatives if you have allergic issues.
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 can no longer justify some brands ridiculous prices when you honestly can get similar products for way less.
It’s all in the formula. Generally higher priced cosmetics have better ingredients and better or more advanced formulations. Personally my budget is a drug store and Ulta one that occasionally can justify a luxe purchase here and there to round out my makeup collection.
I agree 100%. There are clean beauty products and skin care for a fraction of the cost.
these blushes are my favorites over Nars, Chanel Dior.Highly pigmented with great staying powder.
Phytosurgence blush is the best, no bs “clean” marketing and not insanely priced
You're just cheap
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

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 😊
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 💖
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 …
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 💖💖💖
I love the “Super Loaded Tinted Highlight” in the colors “Peau de Rose “ and “Peau de Peche”.
Am I the only straight man who watches her videos? She is so lovely 😍
Lisa, your hair is EVERYTHING!!
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!!!
Westman Atelier is DEFINITELY worth the money. You get what you pay for
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.
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!
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.
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 love their blush and bronzer also not a fan of the vital stick foundation - I can’t seem to get it to blend correctly
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
💗🦋🦋🙏💗💗🦋🦋🙏💗💗🦋🦋🙏💗💗
That blush is the best I have ever used Holy Grail. And the packaging is amazing
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!
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!! 😬😁
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.
Your hair looks so beautiful!!
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
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 don’t understand when beauty influencers seem concerned about what they spend on beauty products. After all, they can deduct the cost on their taxes.
I have the foundation stick and the superloaded highlight. ❤️
I tried the foundation when it first came out. I hated the feel, could not wash it off fast enough! I just felt so heavy! I have been wearing foundations of all types for decades so it's not like I'm new to sticks or heavy creams. I also get a pretentious vide from the brand so I wasn't interested in looking further, unless you love something
I recently tried Westman Atelier Face Trace Contour Stick (Biscuit) and loved the mini size (Petite) Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Blush Stick (Petal). I will probably try more of the brand.
Did you get your haircut??? Whether you did or did not, it looks fantastic.
For me the shadows are my least favorite, they are SO sheer and take so much time to work out. I have loved their blush though!!
I tried all their products and didn’t get the hype. Ultimately gave everything away.
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.
It’s like Merit & Kaja had a baby. But a trust fund baby! Lol! 🤣❤️
Hahah!
@@lisajmakeup 😂🤗❤️
What lipstick are you wearing in this video? Great fall/winter color. We have the same coloring and I have a hard time finding a lip color that I like. Thank 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.
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.
Heck no! So many high end that are good without completely breaking the bank.
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 don’t think price determines how long a foundation should last through out the day. It’s meant to be super clean ingredient foundation with active ingredients for healthier skin. It’s by far the cleanest foundation I’ve personally come across. People have different priorities and that’s totally fine, so while it might not be worth it to you, doesn’t mean it’s not worth it at all. For someone like me, with allergies to literally everything, this is a game changer. Also, it’s not meant to be worn this way. You’re suppose to use minimal product and 2 shades for a real life skin like finish. It would wear a lot better… just saying 🙄
Thought the same thing. WA pricetag comes with the promise of Cleansest ingredients, carbon offset, and "perfecting" and ever-so-naturally "enhancing" but not overpowering your face. She put on waaay too much foundation. That's why it wears badly this way.
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 .
I got this as part of a PR gift, and I was not that impressed. My foundation stick does not twist up, and my Dior Foundation is nearly $20 cheaper with much better coverage.
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
Gucci Westman says to use the drops first and the foundation stick only for little spots… maybe that’s why it’s not working for tou.
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.
Have you also tried Ogee? Just wondering how they compare? :)
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!
Love your hair. It’s beautiful.
Thank you so much 😀
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 was considering buying the mini trio set. I love your new filming setup and love your haircut. Happy new year!
I bought the eyeshadows and the only shade that has really good payoff was tabac. No issues at all, but yes, way too expensive.
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.
I’ve heard that their powder highlighter is even better than their stick highlighter. I’m dying to try it but it’s pricey.
Lisa you are so beautiful I have the blush and the contour idk to much hype.
No make up is worth that much money. Thats ridiculous.
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.
I’m obsessed with the super loaded highlighter in Peu de Pesh it is so beautiful.
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 UA-cam 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! 💯😊👋🏼
I don’t think you are suppose to use a primer. You may want to check.
Too dewy??? Whaaaat??!! Is that possible?? 😊❤
There were no cc for people like me couldn’t hear properly so need the cc so much.
What lipstick are you wearing Lisa J
You look gorgeous in this video, Lisa! 💕 Loving your hair color!
Think I'll stick to colourpop.
Do you have a video where you apply all the products?
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! :)
What brush did you use for the blush? I’ve been looking at your site trying to decide ever since I got this blush which I also love. I got the mini contour recently and love, I see you used your 108 for that
I would like to know what brush to use for the blush, too.
WA is just way too pricey - and seems to not even be worth it. For me, it's a pass.
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 also was intrigued by this line while perusing Nordstrom one day. The reviews were very positive. However, the price point is really formidable.
Interesting your comment about the BK eye brush used with the creme shadow. Lisa, your brushes are excellent and so soft. However, the softness if the BK bristles are not right for these type of cream shadows. I have the RMS multi use highlighters that I use on my lids. I tried a BK brush and found it did not have the pick up or payoff for the reasons you mentioned with the Westman shadow. What works for me with these shadows is my 30 + year old natural hair MAC lid brush. The number is no.longer visible on the handle. Could it be 252? It is flat, dense, and rather stiff which is what these formulas demand for application.
Whether you like these products or not, your look today is lovely. Your lashes are amazing. Are they extensions?
Thank you Carol! Yes, I have lash extensions back on. :) And the MAC 252 is a flat stiff orange synthetic fiber brush.. I wonder if you have the 239 (stiff white fiber) or the 213 (brown fibers)? I have some 20+ year old MAC brushes too! They feel so special to me. :) Thanks for sharing!
@@lisajmakeup I just guessed at the number. It is the brown hair and it is natural. I do not have any synthetic MAC brushes. I treasure my MAC brushes too. With proper care they last. This morning I tried my latest BK the 105 round foundation brush. I used it to dust on my Jane Iredale powder me dry SPF 30 in the old canister. It worked beautifully. I went over my face and neck with the 106 sans any more powder just to get that light as air skin kissed BK Beauty feel😉
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!
