Nicole Kidman hit the 2025 Golden Globes red carpet looking peaches-and-cream radiant—think soft pink sheen, a juicy lip, and that now-iconic bouffant pony. The glam credit goes to makeup artist Gucci Westman, who tapped a trio of Westman Atelier staples (all under $50) in her signature Petal family. Below, the exact three, why they worked, and where to snag them—plus receipts from brand notes and red-carpet reports so you can copy the look for your next big night.
Context & sources: Westman’s team detailed Kidman’s rose-toned glow straight from the brand blog (product-by-product), while hair pro Adir Abergel walked through that bombshell bouffant in multiple outlets (Westman Atelier blog; InStyle; Virtue Labs; recap: Vogue Scandinavia; photo proof: Getty.)
Shop Nicole’s Peachy-Petal Trio
1) Westman Atelier Lit Up Highlight Stick in “Petal” — $48
A cool-gloss, gel-balm highlighter that gives glass-skin sheen with a pinky-rose whisper—Westman used it on Kidman’s high points for that dewy halo (cheekbones, brow bone, bridge of nose, Cupid’s bow). The gel-oil base melts in (no chunky sparkle), which is why it photographs so well under flash. Brand notes confirm the exact shade used on the night. Product page • Behind the look: Westman blog.
2) Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Blush Stick in “Minette” — $48
For Kidman’s peachy flush, Westman layered Minette (a luminous coral-peach with a hint of pearl) and touches of Petal for dimension—tying cheeks to lips/eyes so everything reads cohesive (and expensive). The cream texture blends with fingers and doesn’t fight fine lines. Shade details (see the brand’s undertone guide) and a regional page that spells out the color family a bit more here.
3) Westman Atelier Squeaky Clean Liquid Lip Balm in “Petal” — $38
The finishing touch: a cushy, non-sticky gel-oil “balm-gloss” that leaves lips pillowy with a just-bitten wash. Reviewers consistently call out the comfortable feel and soft shine (it’s the rare red-carpet lip that survives candid smiles). Product page; ingredient snapshot via clean-beauty retailers Credo.
How to Recreate the Look (Fast)
- Base: Keep skin prep light so the highlight can breathe. Westman often pairs a sheer skin tint with pinpoint concealing (she shared a few base steps on her IG the night of). If you’re oily, set only the T-zone. MUA post.
- Cheeks: Tap Minette high on the apples, blend up toward temples; add a dab of Petal to the center of the cheek for depth. (Finger heat = seamless.)
- Glow: Glide Lit Up Petal on cheekbones, brow bones, bridge of nose, and Cupid’s bow. Press, don’t rub, so you don’t disturb blush.
- Lips: Swipe Squeaky Clean Petal and blur the edges with a fingertip for that “I woke up like this” line-softening effect.
Bonus: Hair Notes (because that pony did the most)
Hairstylist Adir Abergel created a retro, bouncy bouffant power pony (inspo references included Sienna Miller and Carolyn Murphy) with hidden clip-ins for fullness—perfect with a one-shoulder gown and a glossy pink face.

Shade Matching & Wear Tips (from a nitpicky editor…me)
- If you’re fair-light neutral: Petal reads softly rosy; Minette adds warmth without turning orange. Layer sparingly.
- Medium/olive: Keep Minette as the primary cheek and use Petal as a topper; it keeps things bright (not muddy).
- Deep skin: Petal is a sheen, not a strong pigment; anchor lips with a deeper pencil if you want more contrast, or consider Squeaky Clean in a richer shade and spot Petal at the center for dimension.
- Longevity: The gel highlighter is a glow finish, not a grip primer—set only where you crease. Re-glaze lips post-dinner. Honestlyy, that’s part of the vibe.
