The Good

• Lip products got love. “I really like the lip products. Nude 2 is my favorite.” (7 upvotes) “I bought refills and put them into old Westman Atelier compacts. It fits well enough.” (7 upvotes)
• Cream textures won fans. “It is actually so nice—silky and smoothing and blurring without being dry and powdery.” (3 upvotes) “I love the balm, so good. I usually shy away from highlighters because I have oily combo skin but I love a good cream highlighter.” (3 upvotes)
• The packaging caught eyes. “I love the blue compact, so pretty… this is like the upgraded version of WA with an easier latch to open.” (3 upvotes) “They just look expensive for no reason.” (14 upvotes)

The Not So Good

• Sticker shock was real. “The compact’s packaging looks kinda cheap. Also the pricing is horrendous. $88 for a lip balm in a compact? No, thank you.” (13 upvotes) “$88 for a lipstick in a compact? I think my neighbors heard me laughing.” (11 upvotes)

How It Compares

Westman Atelier: A popular point of comparison, especially for the packaging and cream formulas. Some users even reuse WA compacts for Fara Homidi refills.

NYX & Makeup by Mario have comparable lip liners. One user felt the lip liner quality was more in line with drugstore picks.

💸 Worth the Price?

• Some users liked the refillable model and luxury look: “The compacts are refillable and the refill is considerably less ($48).” (8 upvotes)
• Others questioned whether the products justify the high-end pricing: “It looks like she’s targeting a higher end base… the price point falls in line with a luxury customer.” (8 upvotes)

Tips from those who own

• Reuse your compacts. “I put the refills into my old Westman Atelier cases.” (7 upvotes)
• Apply with the right brush. “You should definitely have a fluffy powder brush for best application.” (3 upvotes)
• Shade match carefully. One user noted being personally shade-matched by Fara through Instagram and said the online shades run darker than expected.

TL;DR

Fara Homidi products are polarizing. Some love the refined packaging, refillable model, and creamy textures. Others think it’s overpriced and underwhelming—more about the image than the impact
