![]() Coconut oil rates a 4 on the comedogenic scale, which means that MOST people will break out using this oil unless they have a good tolerance to it. You can check out more info here.) Just this past year, I’ve dealt with new and frustrating breakouts and through trial and error, realized it was from using foundations with coconut oil. (Comedogenic means the ability to clog pores, and the scale goes from 0/no clogging to 5/majorly clogging. It’s great for everyday wear, plus it is so quick to apply being that it’s a stick formulation…just a couple of swipes around the center of my face and then I blend outwards with my fingers.Īnother thing I love about the Luminous Stick Foundation? Its main ingredient is Camellia oil, which ranks a 0 on the comedogenic scale. (Which is a rarity, frankly.) I love that it covers the redness around my nose and mouth, but you can still see my freckles and such. I wear the shade 115 and it’s a perfect match unless it’s the middle of the summer and I’m tan. The Luminous Stick Foundation is what I would call light-to-medium coverage. ![]() Anyway, small point, but I enjoy knowing that my foundation is most likely protecting my face on those days I forget to apply sunscreen. NOW, I have to preface that statement with the fact that Vapour doesn’t make that claim because the products aren’t FDA-tested when it comes to sun protection, but using my own noggin, I know that minerals create a shield from the sun. I need all the help I can get, people.) And as far as minerals go, their foundations contain about 30% minerals, and that amount of mineral in a product usually gives a sun-protective effect similar to an SPF 15. The concentrated and moisturizing bases hold fine particles of reflective minerals which give me this “lit from within’ glow without settling into my fine lines or pores. The foundations and multi-stick blushes glide on effortlessly and blend seamlessly into the skin. Well, I can’t say enough about this brand when it comes to performance. Wearing luminous foundation 115, bronzing stick, aura multi-use stick in scandal and siren lipstick in au pair Do they look good on the face? Do they perform? Is the color range robust yet unique?

In fact, when considering all the cosmetics brands in the green beauty realm that I adore, it wasn’t super easy to pick. Vapour Beauty is the first cosmetics brand I’ve featured in my Best of Best series, and that designation does not come lightly. However, these brands are always in my rotation and are worthy of my highest recommendation. Being a beauty blogger, I’m in a constant state of flux with skincare and cosmetics, as I’m always trying new products. Best of the Best is a series showcasing my favorite, tried-and-true, go-back-again-and-again green beauty brands.
