As a beauty editor who critically analyses the best beauty products, one makeup brand that always seems to come up in conversation with other beauty journalists is Westman Atelier. Founded by legendary makeup artist Gucci Westman (who has painted the faces of the most notable celebrities, including Jennifer Aniston and Gwyneth Paltrow and has worked for every major magazine and designer backstage at Fashion Week), her line, which launched in 2018, has fast become one of the most sought-after luxury makeup brands among beauty lovers and editors alike.

And I'm not surprised. From the effortlessly chic packaging to the elegant, easy-to-use formulas, there is a lot to love about Westman Atelier. Since first being introduced to the brand, many of the products have become everyday staples in my makeup bag. And with the sheer amount of makeup that I test every month, it takes a lot for a beauty product to take up permanent residence in my makeup bag—it's a tight edit, and many products don't make the cut. However, Westman Atelier has joined the ranks, alongside my trusty Hourglass and Victoria Beckham Beauty favourites.

Aside from the luxe packaging (think weighty compacts, gilded accents and magnetic lids that snap closed with a satisfying click), the main appeal for me is that the formulas themselves are so easy to use. Take the Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Blush—one of the brand's best-sellers and the best cream blusher I’ve ever tried—for example. It is a buttery blush stick that bestows the prettiest flush to cheeks and melts into the skin with your fingers or a brush. Many of Westman Atelier's products come in travel-friendly twist-up sticks with creamy, melting formulas, so you feel confident swiping these on even without a mirror.

The same goes for the rest of the line: Everything is fool-proof. You don't need to be great at makeup, because Westman has imparted her years of expertise into these products so that they can do all the heavy lifting for you. If you want to look naturally fresh-faced yet impeccably polished with a second-skin finish, Westman Atelier is the brand to try. Expensive? Absolutely. Worth the investment? You bet.

I've long been a fan of many of Westman Atelier's products (not a day passes where I don't use at least one), but over the past month I've been putting the whole makeup line to the test so you can find the best Westman Atelier products for your makeup bag. Although, I will say it now, it's exceptionally hard to pick favourites when it comes to this luxe brand. Scroll ahead for my review of every product.
