Gucci Westman’s Daily Beauty Regimen, Skincare Secrets And Makeup Hacks

It’s the one change, along with exercise, that’s made a real difference to my routine. I do transcendental meditation every morning – it gives me a little time to gather myself – and then usually in the afternoon I’ll do it again, as it helps to center me.

It affects how your makeup looks and how long it lasts. I’ve been using my Westman Atelier Skin Activator for a while now, and it’s completely changed my skin. For the first time in 15 years, I’ve been able to go without foundation – even after taking antibiotics for two months, when I still had breakouts from my rosacea. I used to use a thick moisturizer, thinking it would really hydrate me, but it was more of a superficial hydration. We worked with a scientist in Korea whose patented system allowed us to use more active ingredients – we have 15 actives in this serum – and now I only use this, my new Supreme C serum made from 100% pure THD Ascorbate, a potent yet gentle vitamin C derivative, and a super-gentle cleanser, Gentle Elements Cleansing Foam from Superegg, and my skin feels supple and juicy. My pores are smaller, my pigmentation is lighter, and I haven’t had Botox in months – but then I might need a little…

He says that “the process is the reward”. It really helps when you’re feeling frustrated and stuck, whether in business, life, or a relationship, as it’s good to think that these difficulties are just part of the process that ultimately brings the rewards.

Most people want to look like an improved version of themselves, as opposed to a transformation of themselves, and my makeup has always been about looking authentic. That healthy, dewy-skin look is about layering. I’ll use my Westman Atelier Lit Up Highlight under foundation, as it makes skin look fresh and really radiant, like you’ve had a facial rather than are using a highlighter. Depending on your skin tone, the Lit Up Highlight Stick in Lit gives a lovely, cool blueish-pink undertone; Brulée is more bronze; and Nectar is more of a golden peach. If using a bronzer, I like to blend it over my eyelids, forehead and cheeks, taking it up under the eyes, but not on the lower face. You don’t apply bronzer like you do blush, as it’s about pushing the skin to a deeper tone – and don’t do that 3-shape over the face. To finish, if you’re naturally oily, I use pressed powder around the nose and T-zone, then use my Westman Atelier Foundation Stick as a concealer, applying it with The Spot Check Brush to target where it’s needed so it’s much more believable.

We have a horse, ponies, a donkey and a miniature horse. Exercising also helps; I love personal trainer Monique Eastwood and do her Eastwood Fit classes on Zoom. She’s 55 and her body looks incredible; my body has never looked like that, not even when I was a teenager! After working out, I always have a hot shower and exfoliate – I also have a cold shower every morning – then I moisturize my body using my favorite Grown Alchemist cream.

…a hot bath does the trick. I often take The Nue Co. Sleep Drops, which really help with jet lag, and a cup of chamomile tea. As a last resort, I pop a magnesium supplement, which helps to calm me down.
