WESTMAN ATELIER - Brushes and Full Face Demo

[@TheMicheleWang]

Sorry guys - I misspoke about it being sold exclusively at Barneys. It is also sold at Violet Grey and on the Westman Atelier site too.

[@dianamin8058]

Goop as well. And they no longer sell at Barneys@Saks. I got mine in her site directly

[@ljay2823]

Bergdorf Goodman sells it; just purchased the items there a few days ago.

[@Greatsoprano12]

Also Cosbar and Credo.

[@aarondoherty8762]

Great video! I attended a masterclass with Gucci’s makeup assistant and lead artist for Westman Atelier not too long ago- a few tips I would love to share about the products! Use the tinted highlighter as a cream bronzer all over the cheek and temples to warm the skin up and blend all other cheek products together! The kabuki brush was created to fit perfect into the pan of that highlight to pick up the exact amount of product 🙂 Also, face trace contour stick works best with fingers to avoid blending out too much. Place the product and slightly buff the line upwards to blur the top line but still ensuring the contour is seen. Hope this helps! X

[@TheMicheleWang]

Thank you Aaron!! A tremendous help!!!

[@fiona2087]

Thanks a lot!

[@SandyG1966]

Thank you, this is so helpful.

[@jmbutler5]

which brush would be the kabuki brush?

[@RoseOfMadina]

Do you blend the loaded highlighter before or after applying bronzer and blush?

[@irisk934]

I haven't tried anything from this brand yet but I always appreciate all your reviews. Last year at this time I hadn't tried anything from Pat McGrath yet and now I own about 10 of her eyeshadow palettes and 30 of her lipsticks. And I used your videos to do most of my research. You're the best!

[@TheMicheleWang]

Thx Iris!!! 😘

[@girlvsdog]

Awww, Westman Atelier was actually how i discovered you! I wanted to try the new line when it first came out but was struggling to figure out which shade of the foundation stick was a good match (admittedly I live in LIC and could have hopped on the subway to Barneys, but I'm lazy). Anyway, at the time you were the only online review I could find. I'm so glad you mentioned the texture changing with your bronzer. I found the same thing happen with mine. I think you'll love the blush stick in Minette, the peachier shade. And I didn't get the WA highlight stick (but LOVE the cream/powder highlight. it smells like a beach resort vacation!), but thought using one under the foundation would be a great way to use up some of my other highlight sticks where the color maybe just wasn't right on me. Thanks for sharing the tip!

[@brendaf1033]

Great video and tips for this line. I have the foundation, contour and blush and really like them. I do find the foundation a little stiff which means I need to get the highlight stick and use it underneath. Thank you for showing the brushes and application. Such a natural pretty look.

[@DeborahCarlston]

I’m so glad you did this review. Gorgeous look on you. For the benefit of your viewers, if any of them read this, these products are also sold on the Westman Atelier website. Which is important because that website will let you try them and return the ones that may not work for you. Barneys will not. Thanks for the video. Happy Saturday! 💚

[@amypanddirtytoo1926]

Oh wow! When you showed the close up of blending out the foundation with the kabuki brush it blended so quickly and seamlessly!! Three circles and you were flawless!!!!!

[@TheMicheleWang]

Yes! The foundation blends easily and that brush really helps! 👍🏻

[@shrutiambavat]

In UK, it is sold exclusively via Harrods. Another brilliant concept by WA is that if anybody is confused like me on which shade of foundation would suit best, just go to the WA site and in the foundation section they have "find your shade". When you click on it, they have a drop down option for all major cosmetic brands and when you put a foundation number for any one of those brands then WA will give you your matching shade. Simply brilliant!

[@Instaraxx]

I have put the Chanel les beiges water fresh tint as the main base and then used the Westman Atelier as another very light layer and I love it! Try it, it’s a really nice combo.

[@ellierk2880]

Thank you so much for this video! I was using the L'Or by Guerlain primer which worked well, but I also just got the highlight stick so I'm absolutely going to try this technique now!! I also found that I got a nicer results when I picked up the product using my foundation brush, then buffing it into my skin, as opposed to striping the stick directly onto my face. It just gives such a beautiful, natural finish that way. The BRUSHES!! OMG- So happy you reviewed them and showed the size. Oddly enough, it drives me nuts that they're generally long. Definitely going to get the Westman Atelier ones now. Thank you!!!

[@karolynchang8559]

So I purchased two foundations, the contour stick and two blush sticks. Blush was great. Contour is great. Foundation slid off into fine lines and wrinkles after about 3 hours. I also had a dry spot that I wasn't aware of and it all collected there too.

[@lewisbyrd7547]

This line is so nice on you, it gives you a natural looking glow to your skin👍

[@rebelaz]

I purchased the foundation and bronzer after watching your initial review, and there's so much more I want to try from the line! The foundation is probably my favorite foundation stick due to how creamy it goes on and blends, but then actually sets and stays put all day. I also have to be super careful with the bronzer, but it's probably the best I've tried for truly adding that believable "just came back from the beach" glow. My guess is that the natural seed extracts and butters in the formula help it melt into the skin, rather than sit on top and look artificial. I will say, I think the shade selections are extremely disappointing (c'mon it's 2019!), but the formulas are superb.

[@QuietDawn6]

After I watched your first WA video I went ahead and bought some items and they blew me away and I added more items. I love everything this brand and I can’t wait what’s next.

[@jodigoldberg1350]

Thank you so much!! I bought everything in the line and have only really been reaching for the blush colors. I tried putting the highlight stick on as a primer and it really worked well. Otherwise I have found the foundation to be just too dry on my skin. I agree she needs to add a lip!

[@jbooth6155]

A very natural look. Pretty

[@AllisonChase]

Great review Michele! I picked up the foundation and blush in “Minette” last year and love them. I never tried her brushes though.

[@puglover1217]

I know this is an older video, but I just got the powder brush, baby blender brush and 2 eyeshadow brushes from Westman Atelier. So excited to have these in my collection. Great review! I agree with you about the handle length. I recently got the new synthetic bristled brushes from Rae Morris and they are even shorter! The Westman Atelier brushes seem like they are crafted with much more thought than the Rae Morris brushes (engraved name on brush like you mentioned, etc.).

[@francesclement1115]

They have expanded the shade range! There's a cooler lighter shade than 1. Love these tips! Now I need the highlight stick and the brushes!

[@ellenebay3470]

I prefer shorter brushes, like Hourglass and Rephr, as they r easier for me to use and not hit my makeup mirror. Because of your rec, I purchased the Baby Blender Brush in 2021, though pricey, it is my fav brush, and, that is saying something, as since Covid, I now own 63 brushes.

[@eka6878]

Agree with engraving, I have some Hakuhodo brushes I adore and want to repurchase but writing is gone, it makes it hard and time consuming browsing online trying to find same brush. Great review!

[@Kitty-Cattie]

Hi Michelle! They also mention these things on their website about the brushes: Artisan Design: Handmade in Kumano, Japan using traditional techniques from the most prestigious brush maker in the world. Lacquered Handles: Crafted from the finest hardwood birch from a Forest Stewardship Council certified forest in Eastern Europe. High Performance: Luxurious, durable cruelty free nylon fibers feel ultra-smooth with optimal density, softness and function. No animal testing.

[@Freckles0948]

Ohhh! I need that stick! I was curious about Farsali Glass Skin primer serum. But anyways, I remember long ago Wayne Gods suggested using the NARS Multiples underneath if you really wanted a glow. But to use caution. Today though however it may end up being less glow than we’re used to lol! Your makeup looks really elegant, healthy and your cheeks are becoming my favorite part to watch! They always look so multidimensional, chic and glassy! Beautiful cheeks!

[@TheMicheleWang]

Thank you so much!

[@iahorvath]

Very natural, very beautiful glow

[@maureenbrennan6821]

I love all the info you’ve provided for Westman Atelier! Just a quick FYI about Violet Gray, they do not accept returns if the product has been opened or used, so unless your absolutely sure about the color of foundation and blush I would order directly from Westman Atelier.

[@shaaron5488]

I love this line. I use the foundation, contour, and highlight often. For regular daily use, I spot use the foundation - do not need full face. For a night out, I do a full face. The bronzer is a bit warm for my taste, so I reach for my Hoola more often. Will repurchase!

[@amyh2594]

This look is so beautiful and natural

[@louisesharpy]

I actually saw this brand awhile ago and wondered how they compare. I’m looking for some just a few pieces. ! Love this

[@dianamin8058]

Love love love your site. Especially bc you’re honest ability pros AND the cons. Super helpful to know the full context before spending loads of money on the Westman products. I went ahead and purchased the foundation and cheek blush sticks. Thank you!!!!

[@trizcub1851]

Its now in Australia via Mecca Cosmetica!! After your first review I got the bronzer and loaded highlighter 😍

[@diannelamendola5941]

I’m visiting Sydney and was surprised to see Westman Atelier products in Myer department store. So one more location for global viewers.

[@dianejones7308]

Each and every product added measurably to an overall gloriously finished--but not overdone--face.

[@TheMicheleWang]

Thank you Diane! 😘

[@katharynlynnoggenfuss6103]

I love these cream products and easy use for an everyday look. I am hoping they will come out with more products soon. Thank you for your review of the brushes. ❤️❤️❤️

[@ThisIsLesli]

That highlighter under the foundation trick is GENIUS! Can't wait to try this line. Thanks, as always, for your thoughtful and sophisticated take on luxury brand cosmetics. OG fan since your 3k subscriber (knitting podcast) days. 😘

[@sashaxian]

Just picked up the foundation and peche highlighter yesterday!

[@lee_lora32]

I like these products & that they are stick too. They look great on you and look easy to apply. Great review!

[@lisalopez297]

Thanks for your update to review the brushes. Yikes! So expensive! None the less I did purchase the foundation and the peau de peche highlighter. Really happy they came out with another foundation shade because I’m pale and needed the “0” shade. Lots of pigment so I know now to go easy so I don’t look even more pale! Still trying to figure a way I like to apply the highlighter. A brush doesn’t seem to work the way I want but is pretty. Love your reviews!

[@sayhi2kimberly]

Just an FYI I bought my products at violet grey. They have the brushes as well.

[@TheMicheleWang]

Thank you - someone just informed they were at VG too!!

[@karenliseberg8122]

My Kevyn Aucoin foundation brush is like that, really dense and hard to clean. I still love it

[@alikat8221]

WA brushes are actually made by the team at Hakuhodo 😊 I LOVE Gucci’s products - the quality is just amazing!

[@cathymccarthy5360]

I have the foundation and the super loaded tinted highlighter. The highlighter is so unique and special- I absolutely love it. 💗 The foundation is a bit hit and miss for me. Some days it looks great, and other days it shows up texture and looks dry on my skin. I’m still working out which primers and powders it works best with. The shade 4 is probably one of the best matches I’ve ever had in a foundation. I’d like to try one if the cream blushes, but there are so many good and cheaper alternatives like Nudestix. But the packaging is so nice!!! 🥰

[@SandyG1966]

Love, love LOVE this review, I have been looking at this brand for a few weeks now but haven't tried any of the products because my skin is very sensitive, this has been so helpful; thank you so much for such a thorough and honest review. xxx

[@ericoastline]

And "Squeaky Clean Liquid Lip Barm" was born which had been on your wishlist! We appreciate it 😍 Thank you Michele 💕

[@BeautybyAnneChris]

Oooh these look really pretty, very chic and sleek

[@christineschneider3341]

Just want to say how much I love your thoughtful reviews! Any recommendations on equivalent brush to the natural hair Tom ford bronzer brush? I didn’t know how much I needed this in my life until I watched your channel.

[@melindawycoff5627]

Your videos are professional, informative, well-edited, and concise. Do you have a recommendation for a set of travel brushes or should I pack all my eye and face favorites?

[@TheMicheleWang]

I’ve been enjoying a Jenny Patinkin set I got from Nordstrom it NM? She had a travel set that comes in a pink case. They’re very nice!

[@terrance7220]

Ok now I feel like I have to get something from this line....probably the orange blush stick. I got the ilia cream blushes from Sephora, randomly, and they’re really amazing they somehow manage to shine through all my full coverage foundations and gives a blushes from within effect😍

[@liat256]

hi michele, i miss your videos when you just playing with your old makeup. updating. love you. xox

[@Loralarify]

This is one of the prettiest looks I’ve ever seen on you in awhile! I’ve been using more and more cream products for a dewy-er look & I’’m liking it. :-) I LOVE the Hourglass lippy you have on- I had that same one “loved’’ I seem to like the same lip formulas and colors that you do!! I’ve ordered that Chanel in Rose Naïf! :-D

[@KaylaMarieMakeupArtist224]

Amazing job with this video and I also love the look you created 😍😊!!

[@Just_MHO_thomasina]

I find the balm to be very similar to the Tom Ford balm from the shade and illuminate palette... what are your thoughts? 😉

[@callalily4052]

I don't know this line at all but it looks like fun. Thank you for another lovely review.

[@AnitaGoaWellBeing]

The foundation feel chalky to me. I am going to try to put an Illuminator under like you suggest and hope that will help. I feel I wasted £68 😫

[@andreareynolds2493]

Try spritzing on a hydrating mist like the Tatcha Dewy Skin Mist and buff into the foundation. It will hydrate the foundation and meld it nicely into your skin.

[@EvanRo]

Can you do WA mascara? I haven’t really heard anything good about. What are your thoughts?

[@karenschuppner466]

Obsessed with this line. Thanks for your demo!

[@shannonpuckett6604]

This foundation looks so good on you. Flawless! Love it 😍. I know you love La Mer foundation but what is your favorites listed? Video on favorite foundations maybe?

[@virginibab7709]

I bought some of this make up based on your recommandation yet ! I ll probably buy the blush ! I really enjoy the Sonia G brushes...

[@jackievillalta]

how often do you wash your natural hair brushes?

[@lauramiller5877]

Another great video, can’t wait to try the highlighter underneath 👍

[@jasminblute4953]

Hi Michele! I hope this question doesn't come in too late, but can the superloaded tinted highlighter be compared to Sisley's Phyto-Touché Illusion d'Eté bronzer? Thank you!

[@nevertooold6498]

I love this brand, thanks to you! I need to get the stick highlighter - I really like the way it looks under the foundation. Thanks Michele! Take care, Ginny 😘😘😘

[@TheMicheleWang]

Thx Ginny!!

[@pollylarracas]

The powder brush reminds me of the glossier powder brush, are they similar? And does a brush shape like that work well? I'm curious, because I'm used to fluffier powder brushes!

[@greenjewelbeautea1461]

You really do the best reviews, girl!😊😊

[@debbiek88]

Thank you for doing this video! I’ve been loving the WA products and have been on the fence about the brushes since they are expensive.. but definitely will be getting some (when i can afford it!)

[@alisonmcl_]

Hi Michelle, I really want to get the WA blender brush, do you think it is worth the money, do you reach for the brush often?? thank you so much!

[@ezeldatenpow7905]

Use lever soap, it’s the only thing that works with stubborn foundations.

[@vel4334]

Out of all the westman atelier products, what are the standouts that you think are most worth picking up?? I’m from canada, but i finally have a friend in the US that i can order to hehe (:

[@GirlRoundTheWorld]

Hey Michele, which would be your pick for combo/dry skin - TF Traceless Stick or Vital Skin Foundation one?

[@TheMicheleWang]

I would say either. The TF is a little more emollient to me but since you have combo I really think either would work well!

[@aliciadicaro9171]

Thank you for your informative tutorials!💐

[@monaelkateb2652]

First time to hear about this brand, thanks for the review.

[@angelaparis4007]

Another great video Michele! I recently purchased the line and I'm playing with it now. I too like to have the names of my brushes to stay put and I'm such a sucker for brushes in general! I admit I have a problem!! :) I saw another influencer using a highend clear nail polish and she covered the names of her brushes and I've found it works great! I was paranoid at first, but it's not noticeable and didn't harm the finish! ~Angie~

[@alisastanfield6362]

I love this brand...I only have the foundation and loaded highlight, but want to get the blush next. BTW, the line is also sold at Violet Grey. Thanks for another great video!

[@TheMicheleWang]

Oh great!! I didn’t realize Violet Grey carried them too!

[@WindyCityGatorGirl]

I bought this line, all except 1 blush, when it came out in Barney’s last year-Tried it again after watching your video...using Lit under the foundation (I use 2 and 4) big difference!!! Thank you!

[@charismill]

Hi Michele:)) do you think this Westman Atelier foundation stick is a better fit for oily skin comparing with the Tom Ford one?? Thank you!

[@TheMicheleWang]

I think it could be. The TF seems a little more emollient.

[@charismill]

Michele Wang thank you for your reply Michele :)))
