We're moths to the proverbial flame of celebrity beauty recommendations, especially when not one but two famous names back a product. Such is the case with Westman Atelier's Vital Skin Foundation, which can be found in both Jessica Biel and Gwyneth Paltrow's makeup bags.

When it comes to the best foundations, we all have our preferred formulas. Fans of glowy makeup, for instance, might seek out lightweight tints, whereas those with oily or blemish-prone skin may gravitate towards matte and fuller coverage. If ease and a seamless finish are what you seek, though, a stick foundation and, in particular, Westman Atelier's Vital Skin, is worth consideration.
