This week's beauty query is all about our Westman Atelier highlighter wardrobe, and the difference between our trio of glow-boosting formulas. "It's not that one highlighter is right for you over another," explains Gucci. "It's about having options!”
In today's 'Ask Gucci," she explains how, where, and when she uses each distinctly unique formula—from a sculpting blush-highlight hybrid to a glassy, on-the-go stick that grabs the light.
If you love a pop of luminous sculpting color….
Reach for the creamy Super Loaded Tinted Highlight, which Gucci calls 'the closer' to any great makeup look.
"This gives color, warmth, definition, and luminosity all-in-one," Gucci explains, swirling her Blender Brush into her Peau de Pêche compact (below) to finish the look with a radiant tawny peach veil. Packed with a higher pigment load than the other highlighters in the Westman Atelier collection, the cream-to-powder formula delivers extra color payoff to bring features into focus. Wear it as a sculpting highlighter-blush hybrid for a polished pop on cheeks and lids.
Available in five luminous colorways, from cool iridescent pink (Peau de Peony) to warm beachy golden (Peau de Soleil). Shop the Super Loaded Tinted Highlight shade collection here.
If you love a glassy, ‘just-had-a-facial’ gleam…
Try Lit Up! The translucent multi-tasking gel stick is the easiest way to achieve that straight-from-the-facialist skin look. Wear it on targeted points at the tops of the cheekbones or tapped into the cupid's bow for dewy instant dimension. Gucci also uses Lit Up under concealer as a pro hack to mask fatigue, and keeps one handy as an ultra-hydrating lip balm. The glassy ‘anytime, anywhere’ formula is the perfect pick-me-up to refresh makeup on the go.
Available in five glassy translucent shades, from original Lit (glassy iridescent clear) to Brûlée (glassy bronze gold) and NEW Petal (glassy nude rose). Shop the Lit Up Highlight shade collection here.
If you love a liquid ‘ethereal skin’ look……
Go for Liquid Super Loaded! "This isn't quite like anything you've tried before," says Gucci of our four-shade liquid highlighter lineup. The formula‘s sheer base is infused with delicate micropearls to “catch the light just the way you want for an ultra-refined skin look.” Think soft-lit but never shiny—with a hint of tint. Depending on the shade, Liquid Super Loaded can be worn all over, used as a targeted highlight, or layered on as the perfect blush topper.
When it comes to choosing her Liquid Super Loaded shade, Gucci thinks about her skin’s needs that day: Peau de Rosé (a cool oyster pink) is her secret brightening and lifting tool, while Peau de Pêche (a warm nudey peach) is her trick to smooth and even tone. Peau de Soleil (a golden hour bronze) and Peau de Petal (a dusty nude rose) are shades with a bit more pigment load and payoff: she loves Soleil for sun-kissed warmth on the cheeks, forehead, and bridge of nose, while rosy Petal goes on over blush for a flushy enhancement.
