I’m hard pressed to think of a makeup brand with the level of industry recognition, regular celebrity usage, and shopper fanbase of Westman Atelier. Its complexion products are especially popular among the famous—Martha Stewart, Jennifer Garner, and most recently, Nicole Kidman. The Babygirl actress’s 2025 Met Gala makeup included the Vital Skincare Complexion Drops that are a go-to for Jennifer Aniston—and myself, too.

This year’s Met Gala theme, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” is my favorite since 2018’s “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination.” Celebrities mostly followed the inspo, which meant stunning silhouettes, retro styles, and sculptural dresses. Kidman wore a timeless Balenciaga number with a two-tone mullet (gasp) and an enviably radiant complexion courtesy of those aforementioned complexion drops.

This skin tint comes in 20 shades and has buildable, very light to medium coverage. I’ve been a fan for years thanks to its dewy but not oily finish, your-skin-but-better coverage, and skin-improving ingredients (more on those later). The Vital Skincare Complexion Drops have a thin, almost watery consistency that magically adapts to all warm, cold, humid, or dry environments. Though it might seem like a small bottle for $68, it’s very pigmented, so a little goes a very long way—a single bottle lasts me over a year.
