That power shade is stunning! Ive kind of felt with some Westman Atelier products the shades seems to favor fair skin/cool tones better than my medium skin :( which is so sad because i love their aesthetic
Thank you! You have a point with their tones. They do not have neutral tones in their foundation so I blend two shades to get close to a match or just wear a bit of mismatch depending on the season and how much I can get away with it. haaaa
Hi Michi! Thank you for doing these comparisons. I purchased a few of Merit and WA matte lipsticks when they first launched. My favorite shade is Lacker - because light shades suit me best. In terms of comfort and wear time, both brands’ mattes are fairly equivalent. I do find that both the Merit and WA shades darken (oxidize?) within a few minutes after application. The main appeal for me is the “safe to ingest” list of ingredients - so I am a fan of both brands. Thanks again!
Hi Jocelyn! So nice to hear from you. ❤️ I am wearing Lacker today mixed with Merit’s Millennial. 😄 I love the shade both as is and toned down. I have no complaints in terms of comfort and quality. I think it comes down to shade preference and I feel better when a brand cares to go the extra mile for ingredients as well. I haven’t noticed them oxidize much in the first few hours but I also have dark lip pigment so I think it can appear deeper on me anyway. So happy to hear you like them.
I can't believe I've run aground on trying to find what the LFG acronym stands for - the only option I can think of is "Let's F*cking Go" but I really can't imagine Gucci Westman saying that out loud
Haha I looked and looked again when writing this video’s description and didn’t find it. Let’s go with your guess! She may have obscured with an abbreviation for the same reason you states. 😝
Michi, I love you dearly, and I am thrilled for a great video, but I am not happy with Merit. They do not have a stockist in Australia, they do not ship to Australia and I really do not want to go via an international store to purchase. Especially with current postage costs. So, I am on Merit video strikes. Merit, if you are reading - please have availability for us in the forgotten markets. I have been asking for two years. I am your MARKET.
Power is so good on you and striking! I love the merit lipsticks and I have three. 😬
Am so surprised by power! Which shades do you have? 😍

They all look amazing in you! and yep, that’s what LFG means - used in sports a lot as as an acronym or the words.
I guess it's that kind of shade! ;) Power has my heart even tough I don't rock reds often. It's so pretty! Miss you Christina.

Kate, I absolutely agree with you. We talked about this before. They have some eager fans across oceans! ❤️
Same thing here. They don't ship to Europe either. I don't get it!
