Experiencing Kjaer Weis with Kirsten
About the Brand

Kjaer Weis Experience
Early this month I stopped by the Kjaer Wei counter at Fashion Island, Newport beach inside of Neiman Marcus out of sheer curiosity for the brand. I met Meghan there, and unlike every other brand rep inside the department store, she was so warm and friendly (and not to mention natural-looking!), not trying to push me to buy anything. She introduced me to the brand and invited me to test out the products. I loved how buildable and skin-like all of the products looked on my skin, so she invited me for a one-on-one with Kristen (the founder) herself! You better believe I said yes and set up an appointment.
Friday I was running errands when it turns out that I had placed the Kjaer Weis appointment on Google Calendar accidentally on Saturday instead of Friday. Turns out that they had extra spots for me, so I was able to still make it to meet Kirsten in person. Still in my T shirt in shorts, in a hot mess, I scrambled to Fashion Island and was so glad I did. Kirsten was so cool and casual I didn’t feel intimidated as expected. All her products are natural, skin-like, sustainably packaged and so luxurious. Here are the products she used on me:
Foundation: Shade: Illusion
Blush: Cream Blush in Desired Glow
Lips: Lip gloss in Tenderness and Treasure
Eyes: Cream Eyeshadow in Alluring
Powder eyeshadow in Magnetic & Grace
Face: KJ powder
I loved the finish of the makeup, and I really felt like Kristen made me feeling so glam but at the same time so natural! I’m so surprised that such an emollient and natural-looking foundation could give so much coverage for my acne scars, no concealer needed! The only negative thing I have to say was that the eyeshadow creased right away since there was no primer (and I have very oily eyelids), and the cream shadow was placed on top of powder. Before base makeup, I also declined the face oil since it didn’t work out for me last time since everything placed on top slipped around and I just felt oily for the rest of the day. Using oil as a primer is a no-go for me, but regular moisturizer will do just fine to create a hydrated base!
You can tell from the performance and packaging of the product that Kirsten has put a lot of thought into every little detail, from start to finish and I love that. I’m so grateful I got to meet her in person and get my makeup done by her.
