on days when I am feeling low energy, i can't watch high energy videos EVEN from my FAVOURITE content creators. i just save them for "watch later". Denise is so right about authenticity!

Simple, natural, elegant and BEAUTIFUL. Putting makeup on always lifts my spirits…Hopefully this pretty look lifted yours a bit. Hang in there. 😘💕❤️

Thank you! 😊 Good morning!

Oh how gorgeous this makeup Kiki! It all seems so effortless; yet each attention to detail yields an overall serene beauty. I truly know so little about makeup and as noted before, I share your same age, Sun protection is my undeniable ally and yet I find myself daydreaming and looking at your videos so pleasurable and informative. Perhaps just a few ideas will hold in my lupus foggy-brain and that is a forever-treasure. Thank you too for sharing your most vulnerable moments which I know most if not all and many will traverse in moments and longer stretches of our blessed lives. ❤

Please know…although most of us will probably never meet…we’re still a loving community that supports you. You have friends in KZread land. We’re with you.

Beautiful! Love this inspiring look! Thanks for filming even though it’s a chore during this time. My thoughts are so with you, be good to yourself, you are such a wonderful fur Mama! Lucy was so blessed to have you in her life!

You're beautiful Kiki with and without makeup! Your grieving is very understandable and don't hesitate to express how you feel. You're beautiful and beautiful is powerful! Sending you love! 💖

Westman atelier product reviews are always my favourite, they really bring out your natural beauty Kiki.

Dear Kiki. You are gorgeous and inspirational. I’ve been sending you healing thoughts. No need to apologize for anything. Westman Atelier is one of my favorite brands also! Please rest and take care of yourself.

Getting up and doing something does help but grieving a loss is very personal and we all grieve differently. Just keep being you.

Please feel better. You are beautiful. Like your reviews.

Gorgeous 🥰 Hard to loose your best friend 💔 We are glad to be your focus & appreciate you 🥰

I have never not appreciated one of your videos! They are always packed with helpful product information as well as your experience which I consider valuable. I haven’t commented on your loss of Lucy. I have watched and read the comments of others. My reluctance involves having known a similar loss. Without details may I offer what finally gave me relief? When I was done with all of the guilt and nightmares, I began to ask myself what my little love (in your case Lucy) would want me for me now???……Eventually I was able turn the page because without a doubt what she would have wanted for me was for me to NEVER hurt or suffer just as I never would have wanted that for her. She was pure love. I’m sure that Lucy has some wisdom for you as well. Listen for that! I wish you peace as you come to terms with great loss.

A day at a time, I went through the same thing. It’s going to be 4 years for me on September 6 and still I cry sometimes when I have a dream with my sweet boy 🐩❤️

I think about you often and sending positive thoughts your way. Navigating grief is not linear. I love this look. WA has become one of my favorite brands. When I first got their products, I wasn't as adventurous as I am now. I've come to love the versatility and ease of these products. I wear the products in different ways, and yes, you cannot over do it with this brand. Love!

Very fresh and pretty 🤩

Oh Kiki I can see how much you are hurting and my heart goes out to you. Just take each day as it comes and whatever you need to feel then just let it be. Seeing your darling Lucy at the end of the video was very heartwarming, but so sad at the same time. Your make up looked so fresh and pretty, and natural too. I am so impressed with it. Thinking of you. God bless. Fiona. X

💜 We're with you Kiki. The blushes and highlighters look so pretty.

Beautiful as always. Hope tomorrow is a brighter day.💓

I am so in love with this brand. I can't get over how good it is on over 50 skin. Luv it. Great demo. Great look 👍🏻

Good morning. For sure WA means healthy skin! Yours looks beautiful. Sending you a big hug 🤗. Stay safe. Ida

I loved seeing Lucy at the end of your video🐾 sending you hugs 🌾

Sending warm hugs and love your way. ❤️

Always lovely to see you and love this make up so fresh and pretty 😍 it's very understandable to feel so sad and look forward seeing you soon take care 😊

How gorgeous you look-your face is a poem to Spring. Well done!

Thank you for the video. I have acquired several of the WA products. I have yet to try the foundation. I might. I wish you peace as you power through this difficult time.

I feel the same as you regarding Gucci Westman’s aethestic - emphasizing more natural looking skin with fewer chemical ingredients in the makeup. I highly recommend her brushes too. You may want to try the foundation matching service she offers with one of her team (at no charge). I haven’t done it, as I am satisfied with the colors I picked. You look beautiful today! Great choices. I would also add that I like her new powder. I have Crème and Pink Bubble. My biggest gripe: wish she made an under eye coverage cream. Not crazy about the mascara. It clumps on my lashes. Thanks! Hope you are feeling less sad tomorrow. But sometimes we just have to let ourselves feel sad without struggling. Love your content - so relevant every day.

Such a pretty look! Now I want to purchase more Westman Atelier! Take good care of yourself.

I love your look here. Your skin looks so fantastic. This is the kind of look I aim for. You look youthful and dewy. I am looking into this brand and like to use a face serum before applying makeup as I have dry skin. Some influencers said this foundation doesn’t play well will oils underneath. That had me worried. Again, you look great! Ty

Thank you for doing this video. It's understandable that you're feeling low, you're still in mourning. I'm going to be incredibly selfish and say I find your energy calm and soothing after a long stressful weekend at work. I've resisted trying this brand because it's a bit out of my price range and I'm afraid I'll fall in love with it! It looks beautiful on you. ❤

I completely agree about westman atelier. I’ve even said the exact same thing - it’s impossible to overdo!

Thank you so much for this, I loved the end result and enjoyed your review. I have nothing from this line….Yet! It is very easy to become overwhelmed with feelings these days, in fact, if you aren’t then something might be wrong, so thank you for emoting truth. Its nice we can enjoy the beauty of make up no matter what.

Let it happen. Is normal. Love the WA products. Natural yet classic look.

I like using my fingers to apply creme products as well. Brushes and beauty blenders just suck up the product. Love their contour, blush and highlight!

I loved this, the video slowed me down to really learn some techniques I don’t know. My lips today were like the Jokers, and now I know a way to outline . I’ve not been wearing mascara lately and I like that fresh look . The blending of muted colors is really relaxing to me, it makes me look at application more of an art form instead of always “ covering my flaws”.. perhaps enhancing my features might be an alternative… face washing has gone by the wayside for me temporarily, and this too shall pass. Priorities are so important now for me, and letting yourself just be, is what we all need. Thank You for this much needed respite…💐

I'm so glad I could provide a respite for you

For starters, I appreciate the effort you put into making these videos. It’s not an easy time for many. Both Reagan Hart, and Hannah Louise Poston, have brought this up as well. Secondly, it’s always interesting to see how a product can vary so much, from person to person, in how it performs. We aren’t that far apart in age, but have very different experiences when it comes to cosmetics. Due to the packaging & price, I’ve only tried the foundation, which I bought using a sale/discount, because it’s the only way I could justify purchasing it. And I’m even firmer now in my stance that until products are made refillable, I won’t consider trying others. In a nutshell, I don’t like this foundation. First of all, no undertones work for me, and I’m grateful you pointed this out. I grabbed .5 to experiment with, and it is a peachy gold undertone, not neutral *at all* like the description says. At the price one pays for this, there better be a varied selection. The mismatched undertone enhances my pores terribly, and the formula feels slick, but applies uneven and streaky. For comparison, Merit feels dryer, but applies more smoothly on my uber-dry skin. Also, WA doesn’t look fresh or glowing at all on my uber-dry skin, regardless of how I prep my skin. I’m rehoming it. Pammy Cosmetix pointed out that the foundation has polyethylene listed as an ingredient. I’m really curious as to why. Thanks for the reviews.

Great look! I don’t own any Westman Atelier. If I were to buy one item what would you recommend as a first product. I’m so sorry you’re suffering. I hope you can hang on to the wonderful memories. She was adorable. Sending you hugs from New Orleans.

Beautiful 😊

You're a beautiful lady and WA brings your natural and elegant beauty, no doubt. A question on foundation, do you prefer the vital stick or the complexion drops on your skin? Interested to hear your input on this as debating which one to buy for my dry skin. Thanks for your video, hope it helped a little bit during such sad times. ❤

Depends on the coverage you want. Both are great for dry skin. I do have "stuff to cover" and the stick does offer better coverage.

You seem a little down,which is so appropriate in this sad.Thanks for acknowledging that.

Hi, I love this line and have many of her products. My problem is it doesn't seem to last long on me. I had an event to go to last week and I used her foundation stick, blush, etc. and when I saw photos of me I was washed out. What would. you recommend to make the makeup last longer.

No, I'm not doing it anymore. I did it for about a year and half, though. Hard to say if it helps with collagen production unless you have access to a Dr office that can perform before and after photothermal images (or something like that). I may do it again - but not in the next six months or so.
