The Top 9 Westman Atelier Products You Need to Try Now

Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow, Anne Hathaway, and Reese Witherspoon share one commonality—celebrity makeup artist Gucci Westman. For years, she’s been the genius behind their flawless concealers, radiant cheeks, and effortless beauty. When Westman introduced her own brand, Westman Atelier, in 2018, these stars quickly became devoted fans.

Aniston is a devotee of the Vital Skincare Drops. Paltrow swears by the Baby Cheeks Blush in Petal. Hathaway is loyal to the Vital Skincare Brightening Concealer, while Witherspoon uses the Face Trace in Truffle daily. As an aficionado of all these remarkable talents (Friends! Goop! Devil Wears Prada! Legally Blonde!), I consider it serendipitous that Westman Atelier has also become one of my cherished beauty lines.

I was among the initial few to try the Skin Activator Serum (a lifesaver for my rosacea-prone skin), and I’ve been using the Lit Up Highlighter Stick daily since it debuted. With magnetic closures, velvety formulas, and coverage that’s subtle yet buildable, Westman Atelier infuses a touch of luxury into everyday routines.

As someone who delights in small extravagances (guilty as charged), I took it upon myself to test all 20 products from the brand. Below, discover my top nine Westman Atelier products that are truly worth every cent.

Westman Atelier Skin Activator Serum With Hyaluronic Acid + Niacinamide

I've battled rosacea for as long as I can recall. For those unfamiliar, this skin condition manifests as redness on the cheeks and nose (charming, right?) and can be aggravated by harsh ingredients. Gucci shares my plight—she too has rosacea—so I trust her implicitly when she claims this serum is a godsend for sensitive skin. After nearly a year of use, my redness has noticeably diminished, and flare-ups are far less frequent. Additionally, it has a slightly tacky texture that grips my foundation, eliminating the need for a primer.

Key Ingredients: Hyaluronic acid (hydration), niacinamide (evens tone), prickly pear extract (soothes)

Who It’s For: All skin types, including sensitive skin

What We Love: Pacifies rosacea; hydrating; lightweight texture; opulent bottle

What We Don’t: It’s on the pricier side

Westman Atelier Vital Skincare Complexion Drops Dewy Skin Tint

Is this the ultimate product for coverage? Definitely not. Calling it a skin tint might even be a stretch. It’s more akin to a face oil with a barely-there, dewy finish. But when I mix it with the Westman Atelier Vital Skincare Concealer, I achieve a bit more coverage while maintaining a luminous, reflective quality. The formula is packed with skin-loving ingredients: ginseng for firming, pomegranate extract for radiance, and Tsubaki oil for smoothing texture. With regular use, my skin looks improved both with and without makeup.

Shades: 20

Finish: Radiant

Texture: Liquid

Coverage: Light

What We Love: Imparts a gorgeous glow; easy to apply and blend; no brush needed; skincare-grade ingredients

What We Don’t: Can feel a bit wet on the skin—powder is essential; has a slightly odd scent

Westman Atelier Vital Skincare Brightening Concealer With Hyaluronic Acid

This newly launched concealer is the latest addition to the Westman Atelier lineup, and it’s already a standout. I have profound, almost frightening dark circles, and this is one of the few lightweight concealers capable of neutralizing the purple tones. I apply it as Gucci advised: “Dot the concealer at the very inner corners of the eyes to neutralize darkness and again at the outer corners for a subtle lift.” I also add a bit more on any blemishes, redness, or discoloration. It imparts a lovely glow and decent coverage. It does tend to separate a bit by the end of the day, but a quick touch-up solves that.

Shades: 16

Finish: Radiant

Texture: Liquid

Coverage: Medium

What We Love: Excellent coverage for dark circles; sets without the need for powder

What We Don’t: May start to separate toward the end of the day

Baby Cheeks Lip + Cheek Cream Blush Stick

The crown jewel of Westman Atelier, Baby Cheeks, is universally adored. The blush collection comprises nine shades, guaranteeing a match for every skin tone. My personal favorite is Petal, a dusty nude rose. Its ultra-creamy texture never disrupts my base and provides a natural flush—like I’ve just faced a brisk breeze or completed a jog. Despite its softness, the color is sufficiently pigmented to deliver good payoff in one swipe. Translation: one stick lasts a long time.

Shades: 9

Finish: Natural

Texture: Cream

What We Love: Effortlessly blends with fingers or a brush; comprehensive shade range for all skin tones; pigmented yet not overwhelming; versatile for lips, cheeks, and eyes

What We Don’t: The stick could be slimmer for travel convenience

Westman Atelier Lit Up Glow Highlighter Stick

My MVP and top choice from Westman Atelier is Lit Up. Initially, there was only a clear option (ideal for no-makeup days), but I fell in love with the highlighter when the shade Nectar was introduced. It’s the perfect peachy-pink shimmer and single-handedly achieves the glass skin look I thought was unattainable. I apply it generously, sometimes even adding a swipe to my eyelids or lips. Drag it along your cheekbones and blend with your fingertips.

Shades: 4

Finish: Glassy

Texture: Gel

What We Love: Beautiful glassy finish; tinted shades don’t overshadow blush color; versatile for lids and lips

What We Don’t: This high-shine finish isn’t for those seeking subtlety

Westman Atelier Face Trace Cream Contour Stick

As someone with a pale Fitzpatrick II skin type, I embrace bronzers enthusiastically, but finding a shade that tans rather than turns me orange has been a two-decade-long quest. Enter Biscuit, a cool beige coffee tone that warms my complexion and complements my pink undertones. I favor the underpainting technique, so I typically apply heavy strokes on my contours before layering foundation. It blends seamlessly with fingertips, avoiding harsh lines or clumping.

Shades: 3

Finish: Natural

Texture: Cream

What We Love: Highly blendable texture; Biscuit is perfect for fair, cool skin tones; compatible with both cream and powder textures

What We Don’t: More shade options for different undertones would be welcome
