I forgot to mention in the video, the Westman Atelier Powder is refillable. That will definitely help on cost , because it only has 5 grams, you'll run through it much faster than others on the market so I am happy it is refillable. 😁
Knowing that it’s refillable makes me rationalize buying it now 😂 I was/am so impressed with the WA cream blushes, and I’m on the hunt for a great talc-free powder that also has an elegant look to its packaging, so I believe this may be some holy grail material here!! Thanks so much for the review, and p.s., I am in love with your lipstick and gloss set 💄💋 now! You rock!!
oOH, I love Kosas,, and let me tell you girl,,, there is a dupe that is hard to find but some sellers still has it, IS THE SAME LIKE KOSAS!!!! I'm 45 and also Kosas and this is the only one that works like a dream to set my undereye area and is : The e.l.f. Cosmetics Beautifully Bare Sheer Tint Finishing Powder comes on pressed powder silver packaging,, YOU WILL NOTE IS THE SAME AS KOSAS!! xoxoxo you welcome ;)
Thanks for the review, Tara. I always appreciate how detailed you are. I do love the Kosas powder but I'm tempted by the pink shade for brightening under the eye...also THANK YOU for being honest about the Westman Atelier eye pods...everyone was reviewing them and saying how great they are. Bought them and they truly have no color! Natural and soft is one thing, no color is another.
Those eye pods are not worth it. I don't get the hype at all🤷♀️🤷♀️ I'm glad I'm not the only one, lol. Absolutely no pigment, and totally a waste of money🤪 I think the next sale, I'm going to get the pink powder. I'm so curious 😁 Thanks for watching😁❤️ Really appreciate it 😊
Thanks for your honest review Tara. It would be good to add that the WA powder has skincare actives; vitamin C, Probiotic and quinoa seed extracts. I just bought the powder in Crème and I LOVE IT. I have dry skin and I’m over 40 and it’s perfect.
As soon as you put the westman atelier powder on with the sponge I was like, wow, that actually looks better! But as an oily girl I need oil control, great review, thanks!
Thanks for your review Tara. I personally did not like CTilbury powder for my dry skin it was too drying on my skin. Only powder I use on my face is Hourglass ⌛️ & Huda Beauty powder is actually is okay on my skin too just can’t use too much. I am all for trying new powders that are dry skin friendly so I am def going to try the WA powder. Thanks 😊 for the review beautiful 🤩
I have bought it - not received it yet as it's coming from the US to the UK. For me, this is a great handbag powder. It's small and sturdy as well as being a beautiful powder. I'm hoping it's going to be an ideal touch up powder, especially during the summer months. It's ridiculous that it cost more than double than the Kosas and that there's significantly less product! But, I suppose that's the price we pay for luxury products. I hope y'all are having a wonderful time. You'll be a bronzed/golden goddess when you return 😉😍 Sending you lots and lots of love 💗💗⭐💗💗⭐💗💗
Thank you, Tara Lynn. I very much appreciate your honest and detailed review. I am going to try the Kosas powder. I purchased the WA powders, which I like, but I am wary of the line. It has been very hit or miss for me. I agree with you about the eyeshadows; they creased and dried out--and they were so expensive. Thank you again; I enjoy your channel.
Thanks for sharing you Sephora picks !! I hope you have a beautiful blessed vaca. I finally bought my air wrap looooovvveee it !! Also bought the saie foundation I love it but but let me say I have very dry skin still testing it out so far a love of mine. Have a blessed day 😊
I got the powder and feel it blurs without being drying and I, like you, didn’t care for the famous Chantecaille blur powder, for the same reasons. I also use so little powder that in spite of the high cost, this will take me a few years to go through, I’m quite sure.. I may try the Kosas at some point! ❤️ thanks Tara💙
Wow, this was SUCH a helpful video! You just saved me some $, and turned me on to a new powder. I was going to get the WA and maybe the Saie to try, but now I’m getting the Kosas only. Thanks!! 🥰
@Sandra I'm sorry to hear you haven't had any luck with it🥺 I was ticked the lid came off, but I love the powder. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I always appreciate all input, especially if it differs from mine😁❤️
I have been thinking of purchasing this powder. Looks lovely. I want it for the blurring. I have mature skin as well. This was a very helpful review TY
Tara it would be great if you could do a best powder for mature under eyes. I thought your most recommended is Charlotte but you mentioned the Kosas more in comparison
I have such a hard time finding good powders!! I don’t care about talc but almost everything dries me out and emphasizes wrinkles so i’m constantly looking to try something new. this was so helpful thank you so much!!
I also really appreciate the comparison to Pat McGrath and Charlotte Tilbury because those are my other two go to’s. They work out all right but aren’t perfect I’m definitely going to look into the Kosas next!!
Tara, dear, thank you for your review, sorry I dint always comment! I love WA as a brand and her minimalistic approach, I love the luxurious feel of packaging , etc, I do. So I’m in love with these new powders, I love how undetectable they are on my skin, but yet the effect is amazing. So i am very happy with them and with the fact that these are refillable. Thank you again, and enjoy your tome off!
I was actually very interested in this powder but now that I see the size I’m like 🫣 only item I own from the brand is the contour stick. I want to dip my toes into the brand more but damn those price tags 😆 thank you for the lovely review
I know what you mean. 5 grams YIKES 😳 I agree, they have a few great products, but I'm still not convinced they are fully worth the high price point🤷♀️ Thanks for watching and commenting, hope you have a WONDERFUL week ❤️😁
I recently look at this powder. I have dry/ mature skin. Looking at a video from someone I can trust will help me decide. Tara is always honest. I am going to try Kosas first. I’m so picky about powders.
Thanks Tara! I really appreciate the honesty, as always. I bought this powder in translucent and pink bubble, and I actually prefer the Pat McGrath. Although the PM is more powdery, it seems to last longer and I find it easier to apply. I feel as though I have to work harder to get the WA powder onto my brush. And I don’t like the packaging- it’s really hard to open and very heavy. So my feelings are mixed - I agree that it’s not really worth the money 💗
Hi Tara. I don’t have the WA and don’t think I will pick it up for now. Maybe on sale I want to try the pink one. I have a sample of the Kosas powder from Sephora but the color is the wrong one. I can still make it work and you are correct on how good it is. It sits beautifully on my skin. It beats Charlotte Tilbury by a mile and, I did a side by side, and the Kosas even looks better than my former holy grail Hourglass. I haven’t done a side by side with Pat Mcgrath yet which is my current favorite. That’s next!
Thank you so much for sharing all this info, always so helpful hearing from everyone in the comment section 👏💕 I'm with you, I'm going to grab the pink shade on a sale 😁❤️ I've heard amazing things about that shade😁 Thanks for watching, hope you have a WONDERFUL week 💋
I’m so picky too but the CT is too drying under my eyes. I do not want to spend that on a powder but I may have to 😬 only one I have found so far that doesn’t look dry is the nars light reflecting but it doesn’t brighten. Painted by Spencer was saying to put a small layer of Huda or something similar over the nars for brightening … sounds scary lol… also have u compared the sephora microsmooth powder to the kosas ? Iv heard they are dupes
I love pretty compacts and luxury makeup..I knew I wanted this from day 1 when I saw it..small enough to carry around and a real eye catcher when using out for touchups..south Florida summers are brutal so theres a lot of touching up day and night..I’m going to purchase it from Sephora in case the shade isn’t right..I think it releases on the 7th or 9th
It's definitely pretty too look at😁 I am so tempted to buy the Pink shade for under eye🤷♀️ I don't need it, but I really really really really want it. Haha
I am SO curious to hear your thoughts. I had an interesting experience wirh this powder. I did a wear test and had some sort of an irritating reaction and bc I am so fair the pink shade didn't show up as brightening on me. I'm going to keep testing it out though as I really wanted to love this product 🥰
I am so happy it worked well for you! I think my current fav is still the Danessa Myricks Balm Powder for my 30+ oily dehydrated acne prone skin. That shit is the bomb and gets better throughout the day although I am tempted to buy the Kosas Powder now but it's sold out. I also prefer a damp sponge. I wish there was a way to prevent that film it gets, other than using tape after. Would be a great invention like a spray or something eh? I have Nikkua Joy's Powder on my list to try too. Beautiful as always Tara!
Being of a particular age, I have to be sure my powder doesn’t make me look like the crypt keeper lol! I appreciate this review and I’m going to try the Kosas powder first. I have Hourglass and Charlotte Tilbury and I need something new! Thanks Tara!💗🦋
I absolutely love my Hourglass Translucent Setting Powder 😁 I love it for multiple reasons, the packaging is genius, I NEVER waste the product , it doesn't fly out all over my counter and make a mess lol. But, the actual Powder itself is lightweight, yet effective. It's my ride or die 😁❤️
Thanks for your honest and detailed review of this Westman Atelier (WA) powder,Tara 😊👍🏻 !Yes the WA packaging is lovely !I like that the compacts are weighty but they are so hard to open😩 !So far I ❤️❤️❤️all the WA products that I have tried (foundation,blush ,contour and highlight sticks ,lip gloss ,peau de peche ,peau de soleil,peau de rose and especially ❤️❤️❤️peau de sante )but I have not tried the eye pods yet !I did buy the single eye pod in Tabac but I haven’t tried it yet !I will make it a point to try it and see if it is worth the $$$! I like my compacts to look pretty but I am more interested if the actual powder or product delivers !I am interested in this powder(bubble pink one )for the skincare benefits and the blurring effect !So you have me thinking 💭 if I should get the Kosas which also has skin care benefits instead of this WA powder ?I do find that WA and Chantecaille are super overpriced compared to Chanel ,Guerlain ,YSL and Dior !!!!!!Everyone rants and raves about the Chantecaille blurring powder (from Hummingbird collection)but I find it goes on too dark and it blurs and matifies the skin somewhat 😞!!!!I was quite disappointed ☹️with it !!!!! I rarely reach for it instead I usually choose from the following powders to get a blurred effect or to set my makeup ; the Dior Backstage powder no powder or. Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish or Guerlain pressed powder or the Guerlain Pearls #2 or the Gucci beauty powder!All equally beautiful and get the job done !I ❤️that you are completely honest when you review any of the luxury brands ,there is no bias in your reviews for any one of the luxury brands !!!I also ❤️that you mention what is great about them and what is not and you compare them to other reasonably priced quality brands !What is great about your reviews is the fact that you show if this luxury brand product is worth spending the heavy price tag for it !💰Thanks again and have a relaxing and restful 😎vacation !PS If it would be possible to do more reviews of Guerlain ,Chantecaille skincare and makeup products!Thanks 😘
Kosas sounds really nice, but I need a powder compact with a mirror for my purse, especially during our hot, humid summers in South Fla. I have the CT, now, but when I run out, I’m buying the Westman powder, as I have really dry skin.
Oh I don’t know if I’m anymore informed on this powder. I absolutely LOVE the Pat McGrath and have purchased it multiple times (blurring but not oil controlling). The Chanticaille and the Kosas both have the same exact effect on my skin, I hate them. They do nothing for my oily t-zone. No blurring and no oil control. But on the other hand, I LOVE the Charlotte Tilbury, it blurs beautifully and refined my texture. So I don’t know where that would leave me with the Westman powder. 🤷🏻♀️😣
I have the same experience with Kosas, it looks terrible on my skin. And I also love the Charlotte Tilbury for the gorgeous blurry effects. It doesn’t really control the oils super well, but I can deal with that. I have to try the Pat one and I will go in store for the this one to touch the textures before I spend so much on a powder 😅
This is why i love your channel so much dear Tara, you're looking so beautiful🤩🤩🤩🤩, but you are beautiful double when speaking always so honest about products, and so detailed, i love it!!! I'm 51, almost 52 and no way i put the Chantecaille or the CT under my eyes. I love the Chantecaille one, but only T-zone area. The CT can be dry on my face, depends on the season, since i use so much Chantecaille skincare stuff my face and neck are a really bit better, less dry. The Kosas powder i CAN use under the eyes as well as the PMG one. Not that i tried them all, i grow under them than. The Gucci, i like, only as last step for the face, never first step because of the fragrance, but that is with so much brands from our Europe here, Tara, i don't like Chanel and all the others NOT for continue putting that stupid fragrance in their stuff. I don't always press, i like more the lightest way with, as you demonstrated a very soft squirrel brush, and than i also love my Hourglass loose translucent setting powder so much as well as all Koh Gen Do powders, also under the eyes, but i put very much work in my concealer. Use a very little bit, or first the corrector, washing my hands with Cliniqe Rinse Off Foaming Cleanser every time, and when nescessary a very thin layer, doing the same, i hate tons of concealer and corrector no matter how tired i look, when my technique with using a very little bit Chanel or CT corrector and/or a very thin concealer combined with washing hands very well in between, than less concealer, i don't want to look 10 years older because i am a cake than, Tara. After i do this very carefully i mostly use a soft squirrel brush, the one you showed, or the wooden one from the Wayne Goss set, to only lightly touch with an (under eye) powder, and i only trust PMG, Hourglass, Kosas and Koh Gen Do with that. But love to learn, i learned so much here the lasts years!!! I would love to hear, i do a guess, but would love to see you powder top 5!!! Sending you lots of love, have a wonderful day dear Tara!!!!!😘😘😘😘
This is a better angle, and lighting of you. Westman Atelier refill is MIA. Thank you for mentioning that MOST powders cake on you as it was happening to me and I was feeling weird about it. I'm getting Kosas now.... Right on the Eye Pods! Useless. Not much color. And I don't think it stays long either.
That's very true. I am SO HAPPY it's refillable and actually forgot to mention that in the video. 🤪 Thanks for the reminder. I'm going to Pin a comment. 😁❤️ And thanks for your input, it really is a nice Powder👏👏
😁❤️ I can't stop reaching for it as Blush. I've been wearing it as Blush since it launched, and it is so fun. My hair doesn't stick to my face, and it lasts all day. It's my new favorite cream Blush🤣🤣❤️❤️ Thanks for watching Lisa💋💋 Hope you have a great week💕💕
Thanks for making this video, Tara. Wonderful comparisons & demonstrations! I succumbed to buying this WA powder in “Pink Bubble” & really like it so far. Xoxo♥️🫶
have you ever tried the dior backstage pressed powder on the under eye if not I recommend using the beauty blender pocket puff and the dior pressed powder and it makes my t zone and under eye look amazing and I'm 35
Hey Tara… thanku for ur honest nd detailed review 👌👌I bought CT nd hourglass cos u recommend them nd now will buy this kosas powder for sure😘lots of love..❤️
I love this brand and I really like everything I have tried from them. i think I will have to pick this powder up once I am done with the others I am using I have so many open the Pat Mcgrath, Kosas, Dior, Gucci... I think I cannot justify this one right now
sorry Tara, your question also was, will i buy this? I think not. I don't loose my mind for gorgeous packaging. When the product is so great, maybe i will add this to my makeup collection, but i don't have Westman Atelier products for packaging, i like nice packaging but that is it. And not a blush hero here (reddish undertones) but yes i like the same things that you like the most from the brand.
Great review Tara!! You look beautiful!!! LOVE your New Christian Audette Lip collection! I scooped it up the moment it launched!! Not only did it come SUPER fast … You created 🍑Peachy Perfection 🍑 SO PRETTY!! You are my skin tone twin & it just looks gorgeous on you! I may end up getting it 😜Love&light from California 💗💗P.S. before I write this .. disclaimer: only reason why I’m sharing this is because I really wanted to wear your beautiful lip colors to my daughters graduation. However I ended up with cellulitis in my entire face for the last 12 days and have not been able to touch my face and my lips were massive. I’m on the mend and can’t wait to show the world your beautiful creation! Love and light from California💗💗🦋🍑🦋
Tara, I am 51 and i have found the perfect powder for controlling oil and making wrinkles disappear basically! Order Nikkia Joy Cosmetics powder! She sells online, I like it Better than Charlotte Tilbury powder fpr sure
Agree this is a beautiful powder. However, I got crazy oily after a couple of hours. Does the Kosas do the same thing? Looking for a good talc free powder.
Yes, the Kosas does that on me as well. Within a few hours, my oils pop through. I've been in Florida for the past week and my skin gets extra shiny here. I've been applying Powder before Foundation and after and it works great and holds up longer than applying Powder after Foundation. It's definitely a nice trick😁💕
@Kathy Butcher P.S. I just bought the new Milk Makeup Mattifying Primer to see if that helps my oils throughout the day here in the humidity, I'll definitely keep you posted. My order just arrived today and I haven't used it yet. But, i will be doing a GRWM video here at our beach condo, I thought it would be fun to film a video here while on vacation 😁 So I'll definitely be using that and a few new products I've picked up since I arrived😉
For all those who want a powder foundation why not give the ELF Powder foundation a try? Best bluring powder in my opinion is the EGLIPS Blur Bowder Pact (the black one). Each costs about $ 11. by the way: tried the Charlotte Tilbury one which I absolutely found horrible!
Her under eye got more coverage where we have that darkened dip that is our difficult spot to cover, while also looking smoother in my opinion with the Kosas powder. Under eyes has been the most challenging thing to find the right products for as I’ve moved into my 40’s so this was so very helpful. I do believe there are drugstore powders that are almost as good but she probably has tried them all already and settled on the Kosas for very good reason, so I’m picking that one up too.
Thanks for a great review. It doesn’t impress me by your thoughts and opinions, therefore I will pass. I have the kosas, CT, and the Chantecaille all which I love. 😊❤
I love everything about Westman Atelier! Not only a good products but also excellent quality and absolutely amazing packaging! I love being spoiled 🤍 PS I knew it you not gonna recommend it😂😉🤍
I forgot to mention in the video, the Westman Atelier Powder is refillable. That will definitely help on cost , because it only has 5 grams, you'll run through it much faster than others on the market so I am happy it is refillable. 😁
Amazing review as always Tara 💕 I want to try the Kosas very impressive 💕the WA looks amazing as well
Knowing that it’s refillable makes me rationalize buying it now 😂 I was/am so impressed with the WA cream blushes, and I’m on the hunt for a great talc-free powder that also has an elegant look to its packaging, so I believe this may be some holy grail material here!! Thanks so much for the review, and p.s., I am in love with your lipstick and gloss set 💄💋 now! You rock!!
oOH, I love Kosas,, and let me tell you girl,,, there is a dupe that is hard to find but some sellers still has it, IS THE SAME LIKE KOSAS!!!! I'm 45 and also Kosas and this is the only one that works like a dream to set my undereye area and is : The e.l.f.

Michele Wang compared the colors, and the translucent brightened more than the pink, but that was on her skin tone. I’m curious as well.
Thanks for your honest review Tara. It would be good to add that the WA powder has skincare actives; vitamin C, Probiotic and quinoa seed extracts. I just bought the powder in Crème and I LOVE IT. I have dry skin and I’m over 40 and it’s perfect.
What skin tone do you have? Would it work for light one?
As soon as you put the westman atelier powder on with the sponge I was like, wow, that actually looks better! But as an oily girl I need oil control, great review, thanks!
Thanks for your review Tara. I personally did not like CTilbury powder for my dry skin it was too drying on my skin.

I also use so little powder that in spite of the high cost, this will take me a few years to go through, I’m quite sure.. I may try the Kosas at some point! ❤️ thanks Tara💙
The CT powder is sooo thick on me. Accentuated every line under the eye, and holy pores. I may try this one. Looks like a winner for my dry skin.
I have both in my opinion kosas powder is a bit radiant for my textured skin. Wesman Artelier is beautiful powder to minimize your pores
Tara, I love your introduction video of the products. It’s different than other channels.
Wow, this was SUCH a helpful video! You just saved me some $, and turned me on to a new powder. I was going to get the WA and maybe the Saie to try, but now I’m getting the Kosas only. Thanks!! 🥰
The Kosas is a fantastic Powder. It really works well and you can reapply throughout the day without it building up and looking cakey😁❤️
I don't understand the hype around the Kosas powder 🤷🏻♀️ It does nothing for me 🤔
@Sandra I'm sorry to hear you haven't had any luck with it🥺 I was ticked the lid came off, but I love the powder. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I always appreciate all input, especially if it differs from mine😁❤️
@@TaraLynnbeauty Thank you Tara for always being such an amazing content creator! You are truly my favorite person here on TH-cam! ❤️❤️❤️
@Sandra ahhh. Thank you so much Sandra❤️❤️ I appreciate you, that made my entire day. Heck, my week😁💕 THAN YOU❤️
I returned the Tatcha powder and got the Kosas powder and absolutely loooooove it!!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰
I have been thinking of purchasing this powder. Looks lovely. I want it for the blurring. I have mature skin as well. This was a very helpful review TY
Tara it would be great if you could do a best powder for mature under eyes. I thought your most recommended is Charlotte but you mentioned the Kosas more in comparison
Great review! Thank you! Btw what’s the tiny sponge you’re using when you’re dipping it into the kosas?
I purchased it and I don't have a shine issue, so it works perfectly for my needs
I have such a hard time finding good powders!! I don’t care about talc but almost everything dries me out and emphasizes wrinkles so i’m constantly looking to try something new. this was so helpful thank you so much!!
I also really appreciate the comparison to Pat McGrath and Charlotte Tilbury because those are my other two go to’s. They work out all right but aren’t perfect I’m definitely going to look into the Kosas next!!

So I’m in love with these new powders, I love how undetectable they are on my skin, but yet the effect is amazing. So i am very happy with them and with the fact that these are refillable. Thank you again, and enjoy your tome off!
The Kosas powder has been my God send powder. I love it so much!❤❤
Better than Laura Mercier setting powder for oily skin?
I was actually very interested in this powder but now that I see the size I’m like 🫣 only item I own from the brand is the contour stick. I want to dip my toes into the brand more but damn those price tags 😆 thank you for the lovely review

Tell me why CT is still your fav over the Kosas? Can you briefly compare those 2? Thank you, Tara! Great review!
I was very disappointed in Kosas and i was hyped.. glad i did not get two shades. It is quite dry and not as blurring and soft as CT to me
$75 for 5 grams?! No thank you. Even though I won't be buying this I still appreciate and watch the video, thanks Tara!
Hi Tara. I don’t have the WA and don’t think I will pick it up for now. Maybe on sale I want to try the pink one. I have a sample of the Kosas powder from Sephora but the color is the wrong one.

You're Doing Amazing Job Tara Lynn And Good Luck
I love pretty compacts and luxury makeup..I knew I wanted this from day 1 when I saw it..small enough to carry around and a real eye catcher when using out for touchups..south Florida summers are brutal so theres a lot of touching up day and night..I’m going to purchase it from Sephora in case the shade isn’t right..I think it releases on the 7th or 9th
It's definitely pretty too look at😁 I am so tempted to buy the Pink shade for under eye🤷♀️ I don't need it, but I really really really really want it. Haha
Great news…I’ll be creeping around on the Sephora site until I get it!!

I feel ya on the crypt-keeper comment! 😂😂💀
Definitely want to try this powder!
Hi Tara Lynn! Thanks for another great product review 👍 What is your favorite loose powder?
I absolutely love my Hourglass Translucent Setting Powder 😁 I love it for multiple reasons, the packaging is genius, I NEVER waste the product , it doesn't fly out all over my counter and make a mess lol. But, the actual Powder itself is lightweight, yet effective. It's my ride or die 😁❤️
Thanks for your honest and detailed review of this Westman Atelier (WA) powder,Tara 😊👍🏻 !Yes the WA packaging is lovely !I like that the compacts are weighty but they are so hard to open😩 !So far I ❤️❤️❤️all the WA products that I have tried (foundation,blush ,contour and highlight sticks ,lip gloss ,peau de peche ,peau de soleil,peau de rose and especially ❤️❤️❤️peau de sante )but I have not tried the eye pods yet !I did buy the single eye pod in Tabac but I haven’t tried it yet !I will make it a point to try it and see if it is worth the $$$! I like my compacts to look pretty but I am more interested if the actual powder or product delivers !I am interested in this powder(bubble pink one )for the skincare benefits and the blurring effect !So you have me thinking 💭 if I should get the Kosas which also has skin care benefits instead of this WA powder ?I do find that WA and Chantecaille are super overpriced compared to Chanel ,Guerlain ,YSL and Dior !!!!!!Everyone rants and raves about the Chantecaille blurring powder (from Hummingbird collection)but I find it goes on too dark and it blurs and matifies the skin somewhat 😞!!!!I was quite disappointed ☹️with it !!!!! I rarely reach for it instead I usually choose from the following powders to get a blurred effect or to set my makeup ; the Dior Backstage powder no powder or. Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish or Guerlain pressed powder or the Guerlain Pearls #2 or the Gucci beauty powder!All equally beautiful and get the job done !I ❤️that you are completely honest when you review any of the luxury brands ,there is no bias in your reviews for any one of the luxury brands !!!I also ❤️that you mention what is great about them and what is not and you compare them to other reasonably priced quality brands !What is great about your reviews is the fact that you show if this luxury brand product is worth spending the heavy price tag for it !💰Thanks again and have a relaxing and restful 😎vacation !PS If it would be possible to do more reviews of Guerlain ,Chantecaille skincare and makeup products!Thanks 😘
Have a great procedure/vacation!
Love your honest reviews ❤️
Kosas sounds really nice, but I need a powder compact with a mirror for my purse, especially during our hot, humid summers in South Fla. I have the CT, now, but when I run out, I’m buying the Westman powder, as I have really dry skin.
New subbie …This was such a great and informative video! Thanks 🙏 ❤️
Thank you so much for subscribing and supporting my channel. ❤️❤️ I appreciate it so so so much💋🙏
Oh I don’t know if I’m anymore informed on this powder. I absolutely LOVE the Pat McGrath and have purchased it multiple times (blurring but not oil controlling). The Chanticaille and the Kosas both have the same exact effect on my skin, I hate them. They do nothing for my oily t-zone. No blurring and no oil control.
But on the other hand, I LOVE the Charlotte Tilbury, it blurs beautifully and refined my texture. So I don’t know where that would leave me with the Westman powder. 🤷🏻♀️😣
I have the same experience with Kosas, it looks terrible on my skin. And I also love the Charlotte Tilbury for the gorgeous blurry effects. It doesn’t really control the oils super well, but I can deal with that. I have to try the Pat one and I will go in store for the this one to touch the textures before I spend so much on a powder 😅
🥰I will get the Kosas, and spend more on other fun makeup. Thank You for your thoughts and hope you will enjoy your trip. Love from Sweden/Maria
What it for skin care benefits, and hoping to use only by it self, So was the sponge wet?
This is why i love your channel so much dear Tara, you're looking so beautiful🤩🤩🤩🤩, but you are beautiful double when speaking always so honest about products, and so detailed, i love it!!! I'm 51, almost 52 and no way i put the Chantecaille or the CT under my eyes. I love the Chantecaille one, but only T-zone area. The CT can be dry on my face, depends on the season, since i use so much Chantecaille skincare stuff my face and neck are a really bit better, less dry. The Kosas powder i CAN use under the eyes as well as the PMG one. Not that i tried them all, i grow under them than. The Gucci, i like, only as last step for the face, never first step because of the fragrance, but that is with so much brands from our Europe here, Tara, i don't like Chanel and all the others NOT for continue putting that stupid fragrance in their stuff. I don't always press, i like more the lightest way with, as you demonstrated a very soft squirrel brush, and than i also love my Hourglass loose translucent setting powder so much as well as all Koh Gen Do powders, also under the eyes, but i put very much work in my concealer. Use a very little bit, or first the corrector, washing my hands with Cliniqe Rinse Off Foaming Cleanser every time, and when nescessary a very thin layer, doing the same, i hate tons of concealer and corrector no matter how tired i look, when my technique with using a very little bit Chanel or CT corrector and/or a very thin concealer combined with washing hands very well in between, than less concealer, i don't want to look 10 years older because i am a cake than, Tara. After i do this very carefully i mostly use a soft squirrel brush, the one you showed, or the wooden one from the Wayne Goss set, to only lightly touch with an (under eye) powder, and i only trust PMG, Hourglass, Kosas and Koh Gen Do with that. But love to learn, i learned so much here the lasts years!!! I would love to hear, i do a guess, but would love to see you powder top 5!!! Sending you lots of love, have a wonderful day dear Tara!!!!!😘😘😘😘
This is a better angle, and lighting of you.
Westman Atelier refill is MIA.
Thank you for mentioning that MOST powders cake on you as it was happening to me and I was feeling weird about it. I'm getting Kosas now....
Right on the Eye Pods! Useless. Not much color. And I don't think it stays long either.
I literally said “ ooh “ the same time you said it. Hahah. When you applied the WA powder.
Then when you tried the kosas... WOW
I love this powder..especially since I can reapply without looking like cake batter. It’s very expensive but at least it’s refillable. 🤷🏽♀️
That's very true. I am SO HAPPY it's refillable and actually forgot to mention that in the video. 🤪 Thanks for the reminder. I'm going to Pin a comment. 😁❤️ And thanks for your input, it really is a nice Powder👏👏
Uhm… the blush…. GORGROUS!
I’m not a lipstick girl, but now I can support your lipstick, cause I am a blush girl!❤️😘
😁❤️ I can't stop reaching for it as Blush. I've been wearing it as Blush since it launched, and it is so fun. My hair doesn't stick to my face, and it lasts all day. It's my new favorite cream Blush🤣🤣❤️❤️ Thanks for watching Lisa💋💋 Hope you have a great week💕💕
Thanks for making this video, Tara. Wonderful comparisons & demonstrations! I succumbed to buying this WA powder in “Pink Bubble” & really like it so far. Xoxo♥️🫶
have you ever tried the dior backstage pressed powder on the under eye if not I recommend using the beauty blender pocket puff and the dior pressed powder and it makes my t zone and under eye look amazing and I'm 35
Hello Tara, I hope all is well and have a great day.
Hey Tara… thanku for ur honest nd detailed review 👌👌I bought CT nd hourglass cos u recommend them nd now will buy this kosas powder for sure😘lots of love..❤️
I love this brand and I really like everything I have tried from them. i think I will have to pick this powder up once I am done with the others I am using I have so many open the Pat Mcgrath, Kosas, Dior, Gucci... I think I cannot justify this one right now
I have the Kosas powder and I love it.
It's a great Powder👏👏👏
sorry Tara, your question also was, will i buy this? I think not. I don't loose my mind for gorgeous packaging. When the product is so great, maybe i will add this to my makeup collection, but i don't have Westman Atelier products for packaging, i like nice packaging but that is it. And not a blush hero here (reddish undertones) but yes i like the same things that you like the most from the brand.
Great review Tara!! You look beautiful!!! LOVE your New Christian Audette Lip collection! I scooped it up the moment it launched!! Not only did it come SUPER fast … You created 🍑Peachy Perfection 🍑 SO PRETTY!! You are my skin tone twin & it just looks gorgeous on you! I may end up getting it 😜Love&light from California 💗💗P.S. before I write this .. disclaimer: only reason why I’m sharing this is because I really wanted to wear your beautiful lip colors to my daughters graduation. However I ended up with cellulitis in my entire face for the last 12 days and have not been able to touch my face and my lips were massive. I’m on the mend and can’t wait to show the world your beautiful creation! Love and light from California💗💗🦋🍑🦋
Tara, I am 51 and i have found the perfect powder for controlling oil and making wrinkles disappear basically! Order Nikkia Joy Cosmetics powder! She sells online, I like it Better than Charlotte Tilbury powder fpr sure
You will change after u try it!
YAY🎉🎉 Thank you so much for the suggestion. I need to order it asap😁❤️
I struggle to mind a shade match with Kosas . I have very pink undertones medium skin
Hi! Have you tried Jane iredales pure pressed based powder?
Agree this is a beautiful powder. However, I got crazy oily after a couple of hours. Does the Kosas do the same thing? Looking for a good talc free powder.
Yes, the Kosas does that on me as well. Within a few hours, my oils pop through. I've been in Florida for the past week and my skin gets extra shiny here. I've been applying Powder before Foundation and after and it works great and holds up longer than applying Powder after Foundation. It's definitely a nice trick😁💕
Great tip! I will try applying powder before and after! Thanks, Tara❤️
@Kathy Butcher P.S. I just bought the new Milk Makeup Mattifying Primer to see if that helps my oils throughout the day here in the humidity, I'll definitely keep you posted. My order just arrived today and I haven't used it yet. But, i will be doing a GRWM video here at our beach condo, I thought it would be fun to film a video here while on vacation 😁 So I'll definitely be using that and a few new products I've picked up since I arrived😉
For all those who want a powder foundation why not give the ELF Powder foundation a try? Best bluring powder in my opinion is the EGLIPS Blur Bowder Pact (the black one). Each costs about $ 11.
by the way: tried the Charlotte Tilbury one which I absolutely found horrible!
Great review
would you say it compares to CT pressed powder
What shade are you in Kosis powder?? Thankyou
I wear shade Comfy 😁❤️
Her under eye got more coverage where we have that darkened dip that is our difficult spot to cover, while also looking smoother in my opinion with the Kosas powder. Under eyes has been the most challenging thing to find the right products for as I’ve moved into my 40’s so this was so very helpful. I do believe there are drugstore powders that are almost as good but she probably has tried them all already and settled on the Kosas for very good reason, so I’m picking that one up too.
Happy Monday Everyone
Happy Monday Nelson 👏👏❤️
You Too @@TaraLynnbeauty
What shade do you have in the Kosas Tara?
I wear shade Comfy😁❤️
@@TaraLynnbeauty thank you love I’m gonna go buy it now 🥰😘🖤
Thanks for a great review. It doesn’t impress me by your thoughts and opinions, therefore I will pass. I have the kosas, CT, and the Chantecaille all which I love. 😊❤
I found the kosas to be drying. The charlotte tilbury is the only one I can get away with!
Oh Good First Comments
👍
👍👍❣️❣️
This price tag is stout, even for a luxury product.
I love everything about Westman Atelier! Not only a good products but also excellent quality and absolutely amazing packaging! I love being spoiled 🤍
PS I knew it you not gonna recommend it😂😉🤍
It's a great powder 😁 I recommend the powder if you can get past the price 🤑 Thank you so much for watching😁❤️
