From supermoms juggling afterschool activities to business women hustling from meeting to meeting, stick foundations have quickly become a favorite of women on the go. Stick foundations can go from your makeup drawer to your gym bag or a briefcase without bulky brushes and the mess that almost always accompanies powders and liquids.

What You Need to Know about Stick Foundations

Precision Is Key
Although liquids and powders offer advantages, it is more difficult to get the right amount of coverage desired in the exact area needed. Stick foundations are much easier to apply to the bends and curves of your face. Vapour’s Atmosphere Luminous Foundation is a great example of a stick that offers amazing precision.

Your Hands Really ARE The Best Tools
Professional Make Up Artists will be the first to tell you that your own fingers are the perfect size and shape to blend your foundation into every area of your face and neck, leaving you with a seamless look rather than a mask.

Not All Stick Foundations are Created Equal
Most stick foundations are made using highly concentrated nano-particle pigments, tiny particles that may pose a health risk by crossing the blood-brain and/or placental barrier. (Find out more about good vs. bad ingredients here.) Also, using a densely-pigmented foundation may leave your face looking much like a canvas with too much paint.

Vapour’s Atmosphere Luminous Foundation is the exception. Our revolutionary foundation gives a luminous, glowing, natural finish and comes in a precision stick for maximum control. Atmosphere offers light-to-medium buildable coverage, so you never have to worry about looking over-done and best of all, you get all the performance of a professional luxury foundation with none of the chemicals!
