Vapour Organic Beauty Atmosphere Soft Focus Foundation

Vapour has a liquid foundation, the Atmosphere Soft Focus, and a stick foundation, the Atmosphere Luminous. You can read my review of the Atmosphere Luminous here.

The Atmosphere Soft Focus Foundation is a moisture-rich formula that’s great for dry, normal and combination skin. Vapour has created a foundation that doubles as skin food, with a wealth of organic ingredients that nourish your skin while evening out your complexion.  Organic camellia and sunflower seed oils hydrate the skin, tomato fruit extract and vitamin E deliver a dose of antioxidants, and mineral pigments brighten skin tone. Vapour has also developed a proprietary “Herbal Enlightenment Complex”: an infusion of Frankincense, Tulsi and Lotus to help soothe, calm and protect. Which is great if you have sensitive skin or skin that likes to give you red patches for no reason (that would be me).

So every time I use it, I feel good that not only am I covering up imperfections but making my skin look better too.

The coverage is light-to-medium, which is perfect if you like your foundation to even out your skin and cover imperfections but still look like you’re not wearing any. It creates a satiny finish that's true to its name: your skin looks like it's bathed in a soft focus light, an effect Vapour describes as a “Lit from Within Glow”. 

Bonus perk: As with virtually all non-toxic cosmetics, Vapour products are sold in select boutiques and not widely available. So the easiest way to purchase is online, either through Vapour’s website or from online natural beauty retailers. And Vapour understands how daunting it is to choose makeup shades without the benefit of testing them in person, so they provide an excellent sample program. For $15, you can order up to 5 samples of Vapour products. Online retailers carrying Vapour products also offer a sample program, although the cost varies. There is also an extensive shade guide on the Vapour website (under the “Samples” heading) to help you decide which colors are right for you. I really appreciate that the folks at Vapour don’t want you to invest in a full-size product that turns out to be the wrong shade for your skin. Because, when you’re a busy mama/working woman, who has time to return product?

My shade is s115.
