FARA HOMIDI vs WESTMAN ATELIER (and everything else in my collection)

[@karaz8280]

Kackiiiiiieeeee we're still waiting for your Bedroom Bambi / Beige Eyes face swatching video. I haven't forgotten! Pretty please with glitter on top :) :)

[@meepmoopmeep1]

Your robe collection is elite

[@kackie]

thank yooou :D

[@emmafoley8987]

It is a lovely robe. I'm having a sick day and comfy clothes with slatherable makeup is absolutely the vibe.

[@itzysmiles]

I’m so happy you reviewed Fara Homidi!!! You were able to put into words exactly what I was feeling - which is that while I adore the colors and the formulas, the foundation being in a compact (especially shared with the baume part of it) makes application more fussy than I’d like. I bought them because I’m obsessed with the baby blue and red compact combo and I am a fingers girly when it comes to makeup. I also strive for essentialism in my makeup routine combined with a luxury experience and feel. I think Fara Homidi hits close to the mark but is not 100% there yet. Westman’s foundation stick is the better complexion product, but I think Homidi’s lip compact is WAY better than the lip suedes, so they’re definitely in the same league. Thank you for reviewing and comparing them Kackie!!! 🩵❤️🩵❤️

[@kackie]

I'm so glad this aligned with your experience, too!

[@AshleyRebecca]

My conclusion is that I don’t need this lol thanks Kackie for saving my wallet per usual!

[@Victoria-cc8ox]

I have combo skin (normal to oily) and the Westman Atelier wears flawlessly! I do live in Denver though, so I never deal with humidity.

[@zeynepganz6066]

I'm in Denver also and I'm combo/oily and the WA Atelier wears very nicely on my skin as well

Does refillable packaging really matter? Stick with me here; how many products have you not only finished, but also actually repurchased? It happens here or there, but for the most part, I try something new when I use up a product (or need to replace because it’s expired ). Literally once in my LIFE have I replaced a refillable product. I think the move is to make the refills in a degradable package that can stand on its own. So you buy the inexpensive “refill” in degradable cardboard to try a product, and buy the full size refillable component if you love it and repurchase. Cuz how much waste are we making with these refillable components, when they don’t get refilled?

[@jbridges9574]

Yes!!! Packaging that can be recycled and that uses less material overall is more important than being refillable.

[@elizabethtangora4353]

I do love refillable packaging when it comes to stuff I use consistently, but I’m so disillusioned from my products getting discontinued. The body wash and lotion I’ve been refilling for years is having a “last chance” sale now, and I only got to refill my metal Dove deodorant a handful of times before it disappeared 😭

Love the robe! I feel like I’ve been in my pajamas all week and I can’t be bothered to get dressed. Anyone else? Just extra blah. My mental health almost feels like it’s February outside.

[@Athenrein]

I've been in pajamas for like three weeks now - I had covid and then I was recovering from covid and now it's my period, so. I also tend to have a rougher time in summer because Florida and I are not friends, and my preferred "real" clothes are jeans and long-sleeved button downs, so summer is lots of pajamas or a bathrobe and lying on the couch trying to not be too sad.

[@jodieguess3002]

[@arincape638]

I have oily skin and religiously use Westman Atelier as my main coverage/foundation. When it goes on I find it that it gives me a much more “matte” finish than other similar products I’ve tried and it doesn’t feel greasy. I guess I could describe the finish as satin, which is what I always try to go for. Do I get shiny throughout the day? Yes, but I’m going to get shiny no matter what. Westman doesn’t make me any shinier and I’ve been using the Fente matte powder over top, which I think is a nice combo and really helps.

[@crypticmedicine]

I don't have any Westman Atelier foundations, but I have combination skin thay get oilier in the summer and drier in winter -- this time of year I always have some Gatsby blotting paper in my purse!

[@stephaniemccoy8241]

Same for me. Very oily, but that doesn’t deter me from any foundations really. I do not only go for matte. I suppose it’s defeat, I’ll get oily no matter what so wear what you like. And I do like a dewy face, weirdly those foundations are often my favorite. Oilies are misunderstood haha

[@arincape638]

@@crypticmedicine good tip, I'll have to check out the blotting paper!

[@arincape638]

@@stephaniemccoy8241 yes! I'm going to get oily if I have nothing on my skin, or if I have something on my skin, doesn't matter! that being said I definitely avoid some makeup that feels greasy or heavy. I feel like every product now is at least a little dewy, so I just accept the fact that I will have to use powder throughout the day, but Westman has always felt super comfortable and a little goes really far!

[@miiircy]

Oily skin type here - WA stick is really nice. Sure, once oils come through it will look more glowy, but it doesn't separate and accentuate anything negatively. I am almost done with mine, and I would totally get it again.

[@zeynepganz6066]

I'm combo/oily and WA wears very nicely. I have the FH compact also and I have been thoroughly confused by it since I got it. One day in vegas, it wore so well and looked great (I used the baume as a quasi-highlight) and I loved it. Got home to Colorado and it took me for a ride and saying using it is a ceremony is so accurate.

[@megandc]

I came here to say - I was playing with my Givenchy prism Libre powder and if you pull the sticker off the back of the packaging there are stoppers and if you pull those, you can shake out the powder into another container. I know you messed up and shrewd on the top wrong. You can it get out though the back. EDIT it works for the loose blushes too. It’s how I separated the colors for my pro kit.

[@bethhawco6904]

Heck yeah - I literally fell asleep wishing you’d do a comparison of these types of foundations. Thank u!!!! I have a concussion but am excited to be listening.

[@JG-fc9xj]

Aloha from Hawaii. Thank you for doing this review. I was highly considering purchasing it, and might consider the lip product after this review. Thank you for providing the resources and taking the time to review this product with its alluring packaging. I think I might hold off until I can get my hands on a sample to personally test it. Appreciate it!

[@kayceislost]

I have been waiting for thisssssssssss. I grabbed the replacements first to see if Id even like them for this reason!

[@yamilletrivas8041]

I loved both looks and I have to say that I loved both of the "undone" looks too (before you put bronzer and eyes etc). It all looked like it lived on your face nice and easy. This was indeed useful.

[@habituallinestepper8839]

Excellent review Kackie

[@simply_hande]

This was as always an excellent review - and i especially am thankful for the phytosurgence ignite comparison becasue i have that and i love it on the lips and and now know i do not need the expensive fara homidi :)

[@MarshaABranch]

Oily skin, living in Barbados. Heat and humidity off the wall!!! And Westman Atelier is the only foundation I wear. I absolutely LOVE it.

[@nataliegmccormick]

When I use the Fara Homidi face compact, it looks soooo beautiful with her buffer brush she designed for it. which is such a bummer that you have to pay even MORE for it to work. but it works sooo beautifully with her brush

[@clarradactyl7791]

agreed! i was hesitant to buy the brush with the compact, but decided to anyway. it really works so well! so pricey though 😭

[@stormkive4356]

i really liked the fara homidi lip color in fuller opacity on u, like truer to the color in the pan

Please tell me you’re going to review the new Tower 28 pressed powder!!! (I already ordered mine but I love hearing your thoughts 🤭)

[@cr0wdedteeth]

love this. I'm def going to pick up the fara homidi bc rn when my cream concealer is catching under my eyes i use the Simihaze balm to rehydrate under the eyes and it just smooths everything out, having both in a compact would be a game changer!

[@jennieluuu6841]

Thanks for persuading me from getting the Fara Homidi foundation.....but I still low key wanted to try it because of the concept of having a highlighter and foundation in 1 and packaging looks so slick.....

[@paulac1469]

[@tamarabrooking4555]

Thanks for the last minute swatches, I have phytosurgance inferno so just saved me from getting ticked off that both Fara homidi and rhode aren’t available in Aus. Also loving that robe

[@noomitje8]

The Westman atelier foundation totally solidified undertones for me! I had shade 2, I could use it but it was decidedly yellow. When it ran out I e-mailed them to ask what shade they would recommend instead, which was 0.5. I would never have chosen it because it looked way too light, AND IT IS, but the undertone is perfect so it's actually way easier to work with. I just hope and pray they have a 1.5 when I run out of the 0.5!

[@ToniBowerman]

I’m the same vein of “this or that,” I’m almost out of my chantecaille future skin (which I’ve been using since you recommended it!), but after hearing you repeatedly rave about the Lisa Eldridge, I’m considering trying that instead of replacing the chantecaille. Would love your thoughts!

[@melissawoods610]

I loooove the color/tone of the Fara on you, but yes it’s a bit of a fuss to apply for sure.

[@brandyglenn5999]

The fara homidi colors are absolutely beautiful on you.

[@chyroncantrell4218]

The FH refills come in a plastic version of the compacts. No mirror. You can glue the palette into the plastic compact and save some coin.

[@elabhines5346]

I bought the Ilia, I really like it a lot, I find it more matte (but not matte) and it is a little better for me as compared to the Blunder Cover (which I also really like) because at the end of the day I don’t look as oily with the Ilia stick. I haven’t had the WA one for a years so I can’t remember how that one did for me… 😊

Do you still have bichette in the Westman Atelier blush? I think when you first reviewed it you were really in a mauve moment but I would love to see it compared to some of the rich bricky berries you've been wearing more recently! I want one of those baby cheek blushes so much and that color is missing from my collection since my Phytosurgence Sublimate expired.

The struggle is real with the packaging. I also have lots of issues opening all the compacts - the lip suede, the bronzer and the highlighter.

[@PammyCosmetix]

Hi Kackie, I have a bit more oilier skin, not over the top but still I get oily throughout the day and I personally never liked the westman atelier because it would not wear or sit well on my skin, granted I also used it all over my face, I‘m just not one for spot concealing. I rather have a base all over with more coverage. My mum who has more mature skin loooves the westman foundation, I gave it to her because I didn‘t like it and eversince I have to reorder her this foundation 😅 wish it would come with some refills too

[@melissabee8522]

As someone with pretty oily skin, the WA foundation is definitely a bit oily for me. BUT similar to you, I would have more luck using it more as a spot concealer …bc I’m like Tom and still prefer dewier products even with my oily skin 🤷

[@BEATAKTM]

I like Fara better on you

[@Ninyth]

Ähm Kackie, 12:05 bold opinion here on my side 😅 but i came to find replaceable packaging as a negative not something that’s ups a brand! In 10 times out of 10 i would prefer the gorgeous elegant westman atelier packaging over anything replaceable. Replaceable/reusable is gimmicky, does nothing for the environment (we barely use up our makeup), is flimsy, often so extra cheap made (to compensate for complicate „reusable“ designs that it screams UGLY out of the promo pics. For me a product has to be extreme good or better than something comparable in nice packaging to be exciting enough for daily use. Like RMS, who of i have to remind my self to use even they have a nice record of likeable products…but that packaging is a hustle.

[@cr0wdedteeth]

the refillable homidi compact is like the lip suede compact. its a heavy metal so it isnt cheap feeling by any means! but i agree by and large refillable packaging esp in skincare can often feel finicky and cheap

[@rikki1917]

I have bichette! Obviously not the most accurate to compare my in person swatch of it to kackie's swatch of toasted teddy through my computer screen, but I'd say bichette is kind of a brighter strawberry red while toasted teddy looks more warm and bricky

[@kpops168]

I am so underwhelmed by Westminster Atelier and I suspect I am the target market the eye pods, blush, highlighters, lip suede all poor performers in beautiful but wasteful packaging. I also don’t like the colour range in those products - very bland rich white girl makeup.
