Back in Beauty School, nearly 15 years ago, Makeup was always my favorite lab. I would study the flawless faces in Vogue magazine and meticulously try to recreate them on my lab partners and myself. One of my greatest inspirations was the work of the late and now legendary, Kevyn Aucoin. I don’t mean to use Aucoin’s name to endorse a product that didn’t exist in his time, but when I found out that Aucoin’s right-hand-man for a over a decade of his career, Eric Sakas, was behind a new organic makeup line, I knew this would be a must-try. What I didn’t know was that I was about to discover some of the most beautiful cosmetics I’d ever used, organic or conventional.

All Vapour Organic Beauty products are mineral pigments suspended in a base of skin hydrating and antioxidant certified organic botanicals. Each product except their lip gloss, comes in stick form which I’ve always loved – there’s  no fumbling with sponges and brushes, especially helpful in a rush! The product from this line that I think stands out the most; the product that I urge everyone to try, is the Atmosphere Luminous Foundation. I realize a lot of women don’t even wear foundation these days but this isn’t like any other foundation. What I like to call this product is “skin on skin.” It’s your skin, perfected. I know part of the reason we don’t wear foundation is because we don’t like to look inappropriately “made up” or like we’re wearing a mask of makeup, we don’t like the way it feels, and we don’t like having to put it on. What we would like, is to have perfectly toned, smooth skin, without discoloration or fine lines and this is the product that instantly gives you that. Not too powdery, not too greasy, the finish it is an exact replica of that of perfectly hydrated skin and the pigment is always a perfect mineral blend of multi-faceted color, never leaving you looking masked. The coverage can be built – I can glide on just enough to even out my tone or enough to completely hide my freckles. In the pictures above, I used nothing but Vapour products with a little Nvey Eco Mascara.  The best part is, each look took about 5-10 minutes to complete!  Wouldn’t it be nice to look like you have perfect skin in just 5 minutes? I sure think so!
