Les Duos Powder - Duo de poudres

I ordered 4 so you don't have to

Ordered 4 of the 6 Powder Duos so you don't have to! Petal & Biscuit: If you can only buy 1, choose this one. These are the OG colors for a reason and are the most universally flattering on anyone. I would categorize this as more for cool or neutral skin tones. Tulle & Truffle: I thought this was going to end up being too dark on me but I loved the pink/purple blush so I had to try it. I'm was surprised to find out it was not. The darker contrast really worked with my medium skin tone. Will look great in summer when I'm tan. Suede & Sable: This looks very, very similar to Petal & Biscuit but for warm skin tones. If you're warm, get this one. Coquette & Mimi: Similar sentiment. More suited for warm skin tone IMO. The peach shade was really pretty but pretty light. I had to use a heavy hand for it to appear and then it didn't look that different from some of the others. Also, too warm for my skin tone. Ultimately I ended up keeping Petal & Biscuit and Tulle & Truffle.

Strong chemical smell and burnt my skin!

I was very hopeful for this product, especially in this price range. Unfortunately it was a big dissapointment. Surprisingly it has a very strong chemical smell, and when I used the bronzer as a shadow on my eyelids it burn my skin badly. I've never had an allergic reaction to any makeup product before, so this being a "clean" beauty product has me asking what is in it??

Adorable packaging

I received this product in exchange for my honest review. I received the colors petal and biscuit, which I found pair well with minimal/ no make-up looks. The blush has a nice velvety texture and blends out easily.

Buildable pigmentation

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Powder Blush Duo offers a luxurious experience with its finely milled, talc-free powder that blends seamlessly into the skin. The duo features two complementary shades: a deeper hue for sculpting and a lighter tone for a natural flush.

Strong chemical smell

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Good color payoff and great packaging! Feels pretty heavy on skin and has a fairly strong chemical smell. A decent product but not one I’ll reach for often.

Absolutely adore these shades together. This product blends well and immediately warms up my complexion. Powder is extremely compact and very little to no fallout. Great pigment with a natural look. Packahing feels expensice.

So pretty and not intensely pigmented just the right amount, easy to build up. Lovely

For Those Looking to Achieve a Natural Look

I kindly received the Baby Cheeks Powder Blush Duo in the shade Petal & Biscut in exchange for my honest review. To start, I think the packaging is gorgeous. It is a slim, pink, metal component that feels high quality. There are two shades inside: a blush and a contour shade. The shade Petal & Biscut has a light, rosy-peach/pink shade of blush. It also has a contour shade that appears to be medium intensity and a cool-ish, almost pink in my opinion, undertone. I believe the undertone of the contour shade is meant to complement the pink tone of the blush, which I do appreciate. Just looking at the shades, I thought the blush looked just right in intensity for my light-medium neutral toned skin and the contour a little off toned and darker than what I usually go for. However, due to the sheer pigment of the formula, both the blush and contour shades appear much lighter in intensity than in the pan. I find that I have to build up a few layers to obtain my desired result. This is not necessarily a bad thing; I enjoy how easily it blends and how it doesn’t appear patchy or dirty on the face. For my personally preference, I don’t believe this product in this shade adds enough definition to my face/enough impact for me to wear alone. I enjoy this product a lot more when paired with cream products underneath. Otherwise, it is just a little too natural for me. Especially the blush shade, which is a little too light for me. I end up using the blush more as a highlighting blush - one that I put more towards the center of my face since it is so light in color and pigment. Then I go in with a slightly deeper blush with more pigment on my cheekbones. But I don’t always have the time or patience to be putting on multiple blushes and I assume many others do not have the luxury of time either. At this price point, it should be a one-and-done product. I’m tempted to try another shade to see if that alleviates my gripes; howev

Blush Perfection: Elegant, Soft & Buildable.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I recently tried the Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Powder Blush Duo in the shade combination “Mimi” and “Coquette”, and I’m absolutely in love! The formula is super soft and creamy—it glides on effortlessly and feels luxurious on the skin. On my MAC NC25 complexion, the shades are beautifully subtle yet buildable, giving me the perfect natural flush without looking overdone. “Mimi” adds a lovely depth and warmth, while “Coquette” brings the softest pop of color that brightens my face in the most flattering way. I especially love how the two shades can be worn alone or layered together to create dimension. Plus, the finish is soft matte and looks so natural—no talc, no chalkiness, just smooth, seamless color. Packaging is everything you’d expect form Westman Atelier. It’s heavy and luxurious! The only thing that made me not to rate it 5 stars, is that I think that being so subtle on my skin, I’d have to reapply it to refresh it for night time. This blush duo has quickly become a staple in my everyday routine. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something elegant, clean, and effortlessly flattering.

disappointing

As a long time WA fan, I was excited for this launch. Unfortunately, this was a big disappointment. Using a quality brush, I found the formula to be very cakey and unflattering on my normal to dry mature skin. I would suggest it might work better on oily skin, but the pigment was muddy and unflattering as well. I enjoy using WA Baby Cheeks cream blush sticks and contour sticks and was hoping this would be just as good, but it’s a hard pass for me.

Such a bummer that this brand has been increasingly using bismuth oxychloride. It’s very irritating for a lot of people and most clean beauty brands no longer use it. It’s a mineral whose molecules have sharp jagged edges that get into skin and hurt. It’s the reason why a lot of people became allergic to the bare minerals powder foundation in the 90s. I can’t believe this brand has started putting it into their powdered products because usually their ingredients and quality are impeccable and perform well with zero irritation. Bad business move to include this ingredient because a lot of people avoid it like the plague. It makes my face itchy and painful.

Stunning in every way

I couldn’t wait to get this, and I am so excited to finally have it. I got the petal and biscuit palette and am waiting for the tulle and truffle to be shipped to me. From the luxe packaging to the seamless application and beautifully natural finish, this does not disappoint. It’s expensive but worth every penny in my opinion.
