Today Westman Atelier turns SIX and Gucci's initial dream of creating a seamless, edited beauty wardrobe is only getting started. In the past few years we've launched in world-renowned retailers including Sephora, had our own pop-up store in L.A., and introduced award-winning makeup bag essentials including our first-ever true skincare product. With all this excitement (plus more to come), Gucci's inspired to share additional founder-favorite stories. Here are six things you may not have known about our brand!

From the Cutting Room Floor

"Our best-selling peachy polish almost didn't make the cut! Peau de Pêche was a shade that I initially rejected but something drew me in to try it one more time. Now I can't live without this beautiful Super Loaded! It's my ultimate multitasker for adding warmth, definition, and radiance all-in-one."  

Back by Popular Demand

"After we launched Baby Cheeks in Mimi as a limited-edition blush for a holiday set, everyone kept asking if it could come back! I'm glad it's here to stay—thanks to the love from this community—and I want to know what else you'd love to see."

My Skin-First Aesthetic

"As a makeup artist for over 25 years, I became known for my 'second-skin' approach to makeup on clients like Jennifer Aniston, Anne Hathaway, and Nicole Kidman. Everything really starts with the quality of the skin and that philosophy's my catalyst for including skincare ingredients (at efficacy levels!) in all our formulations."

The Stick That Checks All The Boxes

"After being diagnosed with rosacea, I dreamt of a high-performance product that could cover, correct, and calm redness while looking like real skin once applied. It took many many trials but we finally nailed our Vital Skin Foundation Stick and it was the first product in our Westman Atelier lineup."

Inspiration, Everywhere

"Our Lou Lou lipstick was inspired by the color of the car my dad picked me up in to take me to the church for my wedding in France. I keep this photo on my mood board for whenever I want to reference my ideal bordeaux shade!"

Westman By The Numbers

"Our makeup wardrobe started with a clean lineup of 5, but we've since expanded to offering 18 perfect beauty essentials that are now available in 27 countries and growing. Our commitment to creating innovative products that do more than just enhance will never change."
