- The GG’s Final Thoughts: One of my FAVE Concealer‘s is also from Vapour, so of course I was totally intrigued to try their other products. Initially, I was really on the fence about this foundation… not because it didn’t have amazing coverage (which is usually the case with truly natural foundations), but that fact that I needed to learn to embrace glow-y looking skin. I know that sounds weird, but I’ve always been more of a matte person when it comes to everything but my eye shadow and lipstick. At first I was afraid it was a little greasy and heavy since it has an odd texture for a foundation… sort of like a serum. It was just something different to get used to though, and once I gave it a chance- I realized the my new love affair! This foundation makes my skin look amazing… even with occasional breakouts! I can’t believe how many compliments I’ve gotten on the health of my complexion… nobody believes that I’m even wearing any makeup! It blends really easily leaving your skin feeling soft and incredibly silky once it sets… (the key is to let it set for a minute) almost like it’s melting into your skin. It keeps my skin hydrated (which is unusual for most natural brands), wears well, evens out my skin tone, and feels like I’m not wearing anything at all. I really wish Vapour made a pressed powder foundation to set it though. Are you listening Vapour??? Since they don’t… I use this one. I’m also a firm believer in switching shades of foundation with the seasons… I don’t wear the same shade all year around. I use one for summer and one for winter- buying a lighter or darker shade, depending on season… and mixing the two during spring and fall (*please note that I only mix different shades of the same brand as not to create a chemical cocktail). I’ve been alternating between the s120 and s125 and honestly feel that a mix between the two is probably my true match. If I had to choose one that it would be closer to… it would be the s120. Thanks for making such a flawless foundation Vapour! I would definitely purchase this again! xo:)

August 30, 2011 at 3:27 amOh, you said everything I was thinking about this base. After a lot of research, I saw great reviews at Make Up Alley (and your recommendation to try Vapour Liquid Base, I bought mine at Spirit Beauty Lounge. Same shade of yours, S120. As you, I was scared about the glowing effect, as all my previous foundations have matte finish. Everytime I use this foundation, I ask someone if my face looks greasy, and sometimes I have the wonderful reply “Are you wearing makeup?” It’s wonderful when people even can notice you’re wearing makeup, because it’s so natural! And it doesn’t breakout my oily skin. When I remove the foundation, my skin is soft and without any zits or allergies, what my previous foundations used to do with me. I’m in LOVE with this foundation!

August 30, 2011 at 3:40 amI was wondering on your preference between this foundation and the Gabriel Moisturizing Liquid Foundation.

August 30, 2011 at 4:42 amI tried the stick foundation when it first came out, but I got a color that was too dark for me. The color choices were more limited back then. I ended up giving it to my Mom. I need to re-visit this brand, thanks for such a thorough review!

August 30, 2011 at 8:52 amWhat a strange coincidence, I actually came on your blog yesterday to find a review for this foundation because I’ve been interested in trying it. I ended up buying it anyway, and after reading your review I’m glad I did :)

I LOVE both! Gabriel is a little more matte. Both have good coverage, but this one’s ingredients are a little cleaner. :)

September 12, 2011 at 2:10 amI tried a sample of Vapour’s liquid foundation and every time I used it it made my skin itch and burn. Maybe I’m allergic to one of the ingredients…
It did look nice for the 20 minutes I was able to stand the itching before I washed it off.

September 12, 2011 at 8:15 pmHey Kimi,
I’m so sorry to hear that… I would contact Vapour and let them know what happened. It does sound like an allergic reaction to something though. :( Sorry lady!

October 6, 2011 at 1:55 amWhat do you think of their stratus luminous instant skin perfector? Have you tried it? Do you think it’s safe? I just received samples I ordered today to only find that I ordered the wrong type of foundation. Bummer. That’s what you get with 2 under 2 & limited time on the computer! Lol!

October 26, 2011 at 10:27 pmGG – what moisturizer do you use under this? I just got a vapour sample kit & this foundation seems promising, but not working too good w/ the argan oil I started using as my daily moisturizer. I think we have similar skin types (combination, early 30s, yes?) so any advice is greatly appreciated!
