Our Beauty Team Swear By This Palette For A Spring-Ready Flush

She's the make-up artist behind Jennifer Aniston’s signature fresh-faced glow, so you'd best believe beauty editors pay attention when Gucci Westman launches a new product. Case in point, her latest release - enter six new beautifully curated bronze and blush palettes available in two formats: the Baby Cheeks Blush Powder Duo and the Baby Cheeks + Face Trace Sculpting Powder Duo. Each rosy pink compact contains its own power couple - two luxurious, high-performance shades of powder designed to dose skin up with a healthy 'you look well' level of blush.

'This formula is so light, so silky, it’s like a whisper on the skin, yet it’s so pigmented,' says Westman, 'two shades are always better than one for giving authentic dimension to the cheeks.'

Those familiar with Westman's work will know that mixing blushed and bronzed tones like this is her secret to 'skin that looks like skin'. As part of the The Sculpting Duos there's Petal and Biscuit, Tulle and Truffle and Poppet and Ganache, all of which are inspired by Westman Atelier's best-selling blush and contour shades. Then there's the The Blush Duos, ideal for those who love a striking flush of colour. Look to the deliciously named Suede and Sable, Fizz and Jam, and Coquette and Mimi for shades that can be swirled together or applied on their own.

Ever eager to harness our own naturally radiant healthy looking complexion, The Grazia beauty team couldn't wait to try them out. Scroll on for our full review.

'As a cream bronzer and blusher devotee it takes something pretty special to catch my eye - especially where powder formulations are concerned. This one, though, has earned its place in my beauty bag. Tulle and Truffle are my shades of choice - a sweet, sugary pink and a warm brown. Using a fluffy brush I blended it across my face from one cheek, up and over the bridge of my nose to my other cheek in a 'W' shape. The pigment is subtle, leaving behind the kind of sheer, sun-kissed flush that delivers the sort of blush I like to think I'd have after a country walk on a summer's day. A girl can dream.'

'At this point my make-up bag is full of Westman Atelier. And I make no apologies - her products are good. Really good. And this newest blush duo is no exception. I've been using the Baby Cheeks Powder Blush Duo in the shades Suede and Sable, a rose-meets-tawny combination that lifts and illuminates my skin tone beautifully. And it's a total delight to apply. One swirl across the apples of my cheeks feels silky and soft, thanks to the light and easily buildable pigment. The colour is beautiful, sitting somewhere between a blush and a bronze, perfect for adding a touch of luminosity and brightness to my otherwise dull complexion. I have oily skin and find this wears beautifully as the day goes on - apparently that's down to an infusion of volcanic rock, which works to absorb excess oils. While the finish errs on the side of matte, it's not flat. There's no sparkle or shimmer, but the finely milled pigment and plant-derived squalane ensures radiance - and lots of it. Consider me sold.'

'It’s been a while since I’ve seen a duo product like this, especially one with a mirror! Brands often overlook the convenience of such a compact, so I consider this one a refreshing find. Poppet and Ganache had me at hello - think a Barbie-pink paired with a mid-tone brown. Ganache leans towards my natural skin tone rather than a true contour, which I don't mind for times I want to add subtle definition over a full on sculpt. While there’s a slight shimmer in the pan, it doesn’t translate on the skin allowing for a beautiful soft, matte finish. Pigment-wise, I expected a bit more impact. It took a few swipes for the colour to really show. But it’s definitely buildable, which is a plus. I also love how you can mix both for a softer pink. Overall, it’s a great travel-friendly option, housed in a cute pink compact with a satisfying magnetic close.'
