LAURA GELLER NEW YORK Baked Balance-N-Glow Illuminating Foundation – Light – Buildable Sheer to Light Coverage – Satin Finish

It’s ALL in review! Id give 10 stars if pos! look @pic of me @wrk(in a hot factory)@break.
Ever since I got this in my ipsy bag about 6mos ago I’ve been in love!! I threw out all my liquid foundation, my pressed powder etc…this powder foundation is amazing! It literally is just like brushing on a 2nd layer of skin. It’s not cakey like foundation n it’s not powdery looking like powder, it’s the perfect balance of buildable coverage, if u have certain things u want covered then trust me this will do it but if u just want a natural “better” version of ur own skin then this is THAT! I can’t even explain how it does it but it goes on so easy with a makeup brush n is matte enough to look like actual skin but also has this kind of highlight in it to where it looks like real skin as well. Everybody knows that nobody has skin that is 100% matte naturally cuz we have pores n we naturally will glow in certain areas etc..AND everybody knows that nobody has naturally super luminous skin where your just shiny everywhere all the time so if u dnt have time for instance one morning, to do ur highlight…ur all good w this compact alone! U will still look NATURALLY glowing! Me, myself love a strong highlight so I always do a bit of contour n then a snatched highlight above my cheekbones, my cupids bow above my lip, n down the center line of my nose n then use left over on brush to swipe along my temples, arch of eyebrows n top of forehead but I have woken up late 4 wrk sum mornings n took my 2mins to brush on a light layer of this n been extremely happy walking out the door cuz I looked like I just woke up n left but BETTER! nobody could tell I had ANY makeup on, just super healthy, good, skin that had a natural glow. Or 4 the days u dnt want 2b “done up” n dnt feel like doing a full makeup face…just using this compact, shaping ur brows, a lil mascara n sum tinted lip balm n u will look amazing. I swear I will praise n preach about this product FOREVER n TO whoever will listen bcuz its THAT damn good! Just pick the shade that’s as close to ur skin color as possible n ur good to go! Btw, that’s another thing about it…it magically finds a way to match ur real skin color even if u dnt get the exact color u needed! Of course if ur like a fair/light and u buy a deep tan u already no thats NOT going to happen on any level(or any planet lol) but if ur just a shade or 2 off it will work itself out. It never looks fake, it’s so natural that’s y I love it as well cuz I tan alot n there’s been times I stop tanning for a month or so n I was able to still use the same compact after I had faded ALOT n it never looked bad, it somehow blended itself n I used a big fluffy brush to brush some down my neck a bit(which I do everyday anyway) n it never looked like I had a dark face n light skin at all! It looked like at most, I had a lil bronzer on or had a tad bit of sun on my face but blended seamlessly in with the rest of my body. So anyways yeah!! This product is life!! I also use other laura Gellar products now like her lip scrub lipstick which is all natural n wrks beautifully in getting old dead skin cells n anything else off ur lips b4 u apply ur lip product of choice n ur lips look 100 times better! But yea Laura Gellar baked balance powder foundation ALL THE WAY! I promise u will get rid of all other face products u thought u needed b4!! (Aside from ur blush/bronzer and highlighter if u use those things)

Definitely buy one shade down to avoid the fake tan look
I like the way it evens out my skin tone. Feels a little heavier than powder, but not terrible. Adds a little glow. I am 68 years old with light complexion and ruddy (red) undertones. Glad I went with the porcelain – it is NOT “pure white like china doll” which was my concern. It is sort of a pinky beige, which matched my skin tone without looking like a fake tan – I did not want the Fake tan look. This has a little bit more of a creamy look than loose powder I was using. I still like my loose powder. I will probably use both at different times.

Well!?!?!?!
Feels great on the skin for about 30 minutes then my skin starts looking and feeling a little dry. I normally use a porcelain color as I am pretty pale, so ordered that shade which made my skin look shiny white. So I ordered the fair which was actually the perfect color. Now….why would I wear a foundation that made my skin look dry? Well if I had no makeup on and had to run to the store or had a surprise visitor walking up my driveway I might swirl this powder foundation on real quick. It does make your skin look flawless for a few minutes and gives you a little color and is light weight with a healthy looking shimmer. I’ll keep it because I have had those scenarios happen. To be fair I need to say I have 65+ skin, but am told constantly how beautiful my skin is. And also told I don’t need a primer so……if I were 25 or so I just might have used this foundation routinely.

Love the Light coverage. It’s all I need
Some context. I hate make up. Terrible at applying it. Never wear liquid foundation. Nearly 50 yo. I just need a product that’s quick and easy to use. This powder foundation ticks all the boxes for me! I use my fav moisturizer then buff on LG, a tiny bit of blush and I’m on my way. The level of coverage is perfect for me. Doesn’t sit in my cute little wrinkles. And lasts all day. Very happy with the results.

Light as a feather !

This foundation is amazing! It’s by far the best one I have ever used.

This foundation is worth the money. It goes on easily with a brush and covers blemishes and dark spots easily and gives you a nice illuminating glow.
