I've ordered a sample kit from Vapour to determine the color and their sales rep answered my email quite efficiently and helped me to pick up the right shade. When I first received this sample shade 110 which is the second lightest in a little jar I thought no this looks too dark and yellowish, but when I put it on my face, it just melted in and matched my skin perfectly. It feels smooth and very light but did offer quite good coverage considering that the product it's very liquidy. The smell is definitely a big plus, it's fruity and fresh unlike other organic foundations. As for staying power, its not super long lasting and did smear a little bit especially on the areas that I applied concealer, so I can't tell if is the concealer or the foundation itself that's been wore off. Compare to so many other natural foundation I have tried, this is so far the best and I'm soon going to order a full size one. Oh, the other downside maybe the price being a bit high $50 and the shipping cost to Australia is very expensive as well. Hope they can sort out a cheaper way to ship overseas in the future.

I have tried a ton of foundations looking for a holy grail product. I've tried just about every brand from the department stores, and had finally found one I love (Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua). However, I recently became interested in using a product that is more natural and organic for everyday wear. I used this foundation in both S100 and S110. They actually both seemed to work for me, which is odd. The S100 is lighter and pinker, while 110 is more yellow and slightly darker. I have tan freckles, but pale rosy skin, so I would say my complexion is pretty neutral. (In the Chanel foundation, I wear BR10, if that's helpful to you). My skin has rosy patches that need balancing out, and the Vapour works quite well for that.
The consistency is very hydrating when you put it on. Great for winter, though not greasy. I don't have any trouble spreading it to make it look even like I do with many others I've tried. It has light coverage, but I find it works surprisingly well to cover up my undereye circles. For a pimple though, it requires a little more concealer.
I like that the packaging has a pump for hygienic reasons, and it's also convenient that you can apply it with your fingers. It works really well overall.

When I start using this foundations, I tought it was great and finally found my organic foundation, as it has high coverage and didn't break me out. The smell of it is wonderful. Scents like oranges. But my skin is combination/oily and I like matte finish for my foundations and Vapour let a really shiny and oily finish. Yes, I know the foundation has tons of oils in its formulation, but I have a organic tinted mostuirizer with oils in its formula with matte finish. After applying powder to set the makeup, the shiny reduces a little, but come back in an hour...And this is not a really nice foundation if you're going to take night photos with flash: your face will look greasy and shiny at flash light.
I think it's best for people with really dry skin and who likes luminous finish, because for me, I don't think it's the best foundation, as I like matte finish.

I've been meaning to try organic foundations because I've had no luck in trying Mineral Makeup- they usually left parts of my face red and itchy (even the ones without bismuth). I've tried another liquid mineral foundation from Australia called Mirenesse- but the colour doesn't match.
I tried this mainly in winter/ spring and got the sample size in 125 - perfect match for my then medium to light tan, golden/ olive skin (NC30-35). It's got medium coverage, looks natural and healthy on instead of overly matte, shimmery or chalky. Doesn't make my face red, itchy or leaves me with more breakouts. Also smells sweet and fruit like.
I have combo- oily skin and this doesn't make my skin shiny in the colder months, even though I've packed on the moisturiser (make sure to wait a couple of mins for moisturiser to be absorbed first).
I don't really wear foundation in summer, but have used this several times on nights out & weekends (shade 135 &140). I found it best to prep your skin first with an non alcoholic organic toner and the tiniest amount of moisturiser- since this is already a bit moisturising. My face did get a little oily and I still have to blot every once in a while- but I have to do that even w/o makeup.
Ideally i have to get 2, or even 3 shades because i get a lot darker in summer. I've tried 140 but it's a too red, so if they come out with a 145 for golden/olive skin it would be great! Another thing is it's expensive if you need more than 1 shade with only 1 year shelf life. But it's got great clean ingredients and still is cheaper than most of the designer brands. continued >>

I was very disappointed in the product and had been very hopeful that i would like it due to it's non toxic ingredients. I ordered samples from the vapour website for $15. The texure was extremely oily and just laid on my skin - didn't blend and looked very bright, shiny and odd. I can't beleive this makeup would work on anyone and I made a profile on makeupalley to save others the waste of time and money to try this product. I'm very sad.

This is a lovely velvet-silky feel foundation that does deliver a 'soft focus' look. Unfortunatley the palest colour is actually not that light and is a full shade or more too dark for me.
I would consider buying again if they introduce a paler colour.

I really like this product. I have very sensitive skin, and this doesn't break me out. The color match is also fairly good. I have very fair skin, so I have the lightest shade. It is maybe slightly too dark, but not by much, maybe half a shade. I apply Jane Iredale finishing power over this, and it stays shine free for most of the day. I also use their cream blush, and their concealer.

This foundation is pretty special.
Usability: The packaging is very nice, using a sanitary pump that doesn't dispense too much product. The product itself is a little thick, but blends easily into the skin. The color selection is wonderful offering warm and cool colors. I use the S115 for my fair, warm skin in the winter and I'll probably try the S120 for summer.
Coverage: I would say about medium; sometimes I use a little RMS uncover-up to cover any major flaws that are still peaking through.
Price: Expensive, but a little goes a long way. I usually need one small pump to cover my face.
Wear/Appearance: This product is beautiful-it blends nicely into the skin, and handles flakes pretty well. Sometimes when my skin is extremely dry, you can see some flakes, but that is easily remedied with some moisturizer. It should be noted that I live in an extremely dry and cold climate, so dry skin is a constant battle. However when I was in wet Seattle, I had no problems with breaking out.
Overall, a very successful organic beauty product, I highly recommend it!

After nearly 3 months of use, my skin has never looked better both with and without this foundation. I have oily, light/med. tan skin with olive undertones and use S125.
+
very blendable, creamy texture with medium coverage
effect is just as stated: soft-focus, radiant
has a lovely, faint scent of apples and flowers (no synthetic fragrances are added to this product)
all-natural ingredients are 70% certified organic and very nourishing - feels like a luxurious treatment instead of makeup!
-
have to follow up light scarring and the occasional blemish with concealer (I use RMS un-cover up sparingly on top)
expensive, but keep in mind the $48 1 oz. container lasts 3-4 months with daily use

Just FYI: I've found that my skin is in its best shape with a dairy-free diet high in vegetables and low in wheat and sugar, along with a daily multi and cod liver oil supplement.

I have finally found the perfect foundation! I am a fair olive and the s120 shade is perfect on me. the 115 shade works very well too, but makes me a tiny bit more pale than the 120. The minerals blend and melt into the skin and almost match my skin so that no one can tell I am wearing any makeup when I wear either the 115 or 120. I love the way this product leaves the skin looking radiant and somehow controls shine all day, yet isn't drying at all. I have FINALLY found the foundation that I have been waiting for! LOVE LOVE this product and look forward to trying more from this line. If you call Vapour they can send samples...they don't advertise this, but I called and they sent me samples and charged $10 for shipping.

This is a very nice foundation. I was intrigued by vapour organic beauty and tried a few of their stick products and was sadly disapointed. When I saw they have 2 new liquid products, the soft focus foundation and the soft focus instant skin perfector, of course I had to buy them both :o)

The packaging is quite nice. It has a soft, slightly iridescent plastic packaging, its not completely clear but not completely opaque. It has pump system, which is very nice for sanitary reasons and helps with preservation.

The consistency is quite thick for a liquid foundation, probably one of the thickest foundations I've ever used. Most likely due to the fact the foundation is oil-based. Although its thick, it still spreads nicely over the skin. I use laura mercier's foundation sponge, but their directions say to use your fingers. Vapour says this is medium to full coverage, and although this foundation is pretty thick, I wouldn't say its full coverage. I'd say about medium. The smell reminds me of other vapour products, I'm not sure how to describe it, but its a nice soft smell.

The initial look of the foundation is pretty dewy, but it quickly dries to a soft matte finish. I have combo skin, dry on the cheeks and oily on the forehead/nose and I was pleasantly surprised this did not make my cheeks look extra dry and did not make my forehead look oily by the end of the day. If I have some flakies on my cheeks (especially right now with winter), this doesn't cover them up, but it also doesn't really accentuate them. It really does work for my combo skin quite nicely. MUCH better then the stick formula.

Now here's the downside....the price!! It's a whopping $48. Thankfully, unlike their stick formulas, the size of the liquid container is comparable to other foundations, but its also twice the price. I bought it during their black friday sale but when I run out, its going to be painful to buy it again if I have to pay full price. Another downside is there's no sunscreen. Even though I use sunscreen in the morning, it would be nice if there was some sunscreen in this too.

As an FYI for colors, I am around a NC15 and the 110 is a perfect match. Most natural foundations are way too yellow (Korres and Tarte - I'm talking to you!) or way too pink (Gabriel and Zuzu, you know your formula is way too pink), but I'm amazed at how neutral vapour's colors are. The 110 is a great one for fair skin that is neutral-toned.

Ingredients are listed below. I was a bit worried about being oil-based with my acne-prone skin but I have been using it for about a week and no breakouts yet! *fingers crossed* I also have pretty sensitive skin and none of the extracts added have irritated my skin. Overall, this makes my skin more even-toned and very soft, its a winner!
Update: After continuing to use this, it broke out my skin :o( Also, with my skin getting colder because of winter, the consistency is not working with my skin. Perhaps in the summer it would be better, but not if its going to break out my skin! I kept the lippies because the color is so nice.
