Westman Atelier Vital Skincare Complexion Drops & Baby Cheeks Blush Stick Review

New Westman Atelier foundation product—Vital Skincare Complexion Drops—just came out recently. I was super excited to try it out. Here is my review with the pros and cons and wear test pictures.

I also got to try the Baby Cheeks Blush Stick in Petal, included my thoughts and a quick swatch in this blog post too. Read on for more info:

My Notes 

A friend recommended Westman Atelier’s previous foundation product—the Vital Foundation Stick to me a while ago. So I’ve been really curious as how this serum-strength foundation tint will work out. Here are my thoughts:

– Light to medium coverage skin tint 
– Finish is skin-like and gives a beautiful glow 
– It’s very dewy
– Balances out redness and takes out small blemishes  
– Has skincare baked in with the strength of a serum. But I didn’t use it long enough to attest to that.

On Combination/Oily Skins

I personally like dewy finishes a lot—I love kbeauty!—but even for me this felt like it almost borderlines on being a bit too dewy that it could cross over into a potentially oily-looking category—I do have normal-combination skin! But the glow is absolutely stunning.

I think someone with combo-oily skin can still wear this, but perhaps with a dash of mattifying primer or hint of powder to finish off just to keep it under control a little.

In the before and after, I’m not wearing any other product, you can see the patchy areas around my nose and under the mouth have been evened out really naturally. And the glow on my cheeks, just *chef’s kiss*.

Skincare in Makeup

In theory I love the idea of makeup that has skincare—and it would work for a great number of the population—however, in reality, the people who really care about their skincare already have routines imo. So adding more skincare to makeup only increases the chance of alienating an audience who may be allergic or sensitive to additional ingredients (like me!).

Still, I understand I’m in the minority. But I do secretly wish one day that brands would separate all the niacinamide/fermented/gums/germ extracts into its own versions of existing products. It’s never going to happen but a girl can dream. Don’t get me wrong, I do think this benefits the majority of the population, just not for edge cases like me, haha.

Baby Cheeks Blush Stick

My Thoughts

– Very spreadable, easy to apply and buildable. 

– Super easy to achieve a barely-there natural application. If you’re afraid of overdoing your blushes, this is a great one to work with.

– It moved a little too easily for me over the skin tint. It might stay better on a less dewy base. 

– Got this in the shade Petal, it’s a gorgeous dusty peach pink. Perfect for everyday natural looks!

Westman Atelier Foundation and Blush Conclusion

In line with all Westman Atelier’s releases so far, the Vital Skincare Complexion Drops and Baby Cheeks Blush Stick are both very lovely high quality, everyday natural-look products.

Westman Atelier’s packaging, is as usual, just absolutely gorgeous too. They do such a good job of making their products into objects of beauty to behold and I can never get enough of that.
