LAURA GELLER NEW YORK Award-Winning Baked Balance-n-Brighten Color Correcting Powder Foundation - Light - Buildable Light to Medium Coverage - Demi-Matte Natural Finish

I tried to give it 5 stars! This is a great light to medium coverage powder coverage. It really does work great pink mature skin with fine lines and slight to moderate wrinkles. Very soft, even coverage. Accurate color. If you're very fair, go with the porcelain color. I'm saving the fair colour for summer when I have a slight tan. I'm trying all of her makeup now!

A Total Game-Changer for a Natural Glow! If you’re tired of heavy, cakey liquid foundations that settle into fine lines by lunchtime, you need to try the LAURA GELLER Baked Balance-n-Brighten Color Correcting Powder Foundation. Effortless Color Correction: Unlike flat, one-dimensional powders, the swirls of different pigments (baked on terracotta tiles in Italy!) do all the work for you. It instantly neutralizes redness and brightens up sallow skin without needing a separate primer or corrector. This is one of the few powder foundations that doesn’t emphasize texture or wrinkles. Because it starts as a cream and is baked into a powder, it retains a hydrating quality that keeps the skin looking luminous rather than dusty.

I’m in my 50s with naturally oily skin, and I’ve been really impressed with how beautifully the Laura Geller makeup lays on my skin. It gives such a smooth, natural finish without settling into fine lines, and it feels lightweight all day. I love the coverage and the way it enhances my complexion—it truly gives a radiant, polished look. My only wish is that it helped a bit more with controlling oil throughout the day. Other than that, it’s nearly perfect! Overall: A fantastic product for mature skin, especially if you’re looking for something that blends effortlessly and feels luxurious.

I'm almost 60/F, some wrinkles and a fair amount of discoloration, red spots, and sun damage, esp. on cheeks. This foundation (baked balance and brighten, color FAIR) is really easy to use. Feels like nothing, even when building. I used only basic, soft, fluffy brushes I had on hand; they worked well for light coverage, but I do think a denser brush option - like a retracting kabuki, as recommended - might work better for building. Very good coverage on bare skin (moisturizar only), pracrically perfect over an inexpensive primer. Almost all my flaws disappeared, even without concealer. Did not settle in wrinkles, either. I FEEL PRET-TY, OH-SO PRET-TY!...or, at least, "not bad for an old broad, not at all!". I do find that using primer is better over large pores and significant discoloration, such as have I. I used a budget brand with spf 30 and the foundation went on perfectly. It's FAST, too. The longest part if the process is waiting for the primer to dry, maybe 1-3 minutes. Found it difficult to shade match - but to be fair: When is it *not* difficult? Would be a very nice thing if Laura Geller Beauty offered an inexpensive "sampler" (say, $5.00 for just enough product for 1/2 face in two adjacent shades) to help in this process. I tried "PORCELAIN" first, but it was just a tad too light. The model wearing "FAIR" looks like an olive tone to me, whereas (I think?) I'm more peachy, like the "LIGHT" model - but I'm super pale...but ... but.. hem ..haw.. Seems really wasteful to open, use once and return a full product to try a color that isn't quite right, as I have. "Samplers" would really help reduce the volume of product returns, not to mention reduce waste and carbon footprints - just sayin'. Step up,😀Laura Geller. Make the planet as beautiful as you have me!

Glides on smoothly with a light, silky feel to it. It didn't seem to have any scent to it either. Love the way the colors are swirled together to make it a good match for your skin tone. I got a shade lighter because some reviews say it runs a bit darker and I wanted a good match (which I got). Nice compact but I wish the mirror was full sized and not just half of that, as it would be easier to see yourself and apply powder. All in all, it's very nice and does seem to glide over my wrinkles (I'm 65). Bought it on an amazing Amazon sale too! I think I'm going to try the highlighter next, to brighten up my complexion even more!

I have been using this product for over a year now.. I’ll admit that despite my lower rating and the issues I’ll explain, I’ll probably continue using the product until i can find a better option. To explain further.. My biggest issue is that the consistency of this product is VERY unpredictable.. I provided a picture of an example.. the two products in the picture are the exact same product.. baked & brighten foundation in color: fair.. the product on the right is the what i was replacing and the product on the left is what i was sent. Again this is the EXACT SAME PRODUCT. You can easily see how much lighter the newer product is on the left. The blend is so different and is mainly the lighter shade in the blend. I purchased these products only a month apart. This inconsistency has happens very often.. ..The blend is always inconsistent. This newer shade is too light for me so, this means i had to order ANOTHER in a shade darker to mix the two products to match my skin. That’s expensive, unfair and annoying. I should not have to worry about getting a consistent color. Matching this to your skin is definitely not as easy as they depict. I found matching my skin tone to be really difficult initially and with the inconsistent blend, I continue to have this issue. In addition, this absolutely DOES settle in deeper wrinkles and lines.. it even settles in fine lines. This is better than some other foundations meant for aging skin but, this hardly helps the issue with lines and wrinkles.. especially if you sweat! I am almost 42 yrs old so my lines are faint. This settles in the one wrinkle i have near my nose/lip area. I constantly have to reblend this area. This also easily runs and smudges with even mild perspiration. But, it does give a soft appearance. It helps but does not fully cover redness. It’s easy to apply although it can cake up. It will even out skin tone. It feels fine on although multiple touch ups are required throughout the day. Overall, i only buy this product when it’s on sale or i have a discount. I have a hard time with paying full price since there are so many issues with it (about $37 full price). I feel like there are many better products but, it’s very expensive to keep trying to find the perfect foundation for me. I hope to find a better product but will use this until. I guess i recommend it but, if you suspect there is a better option, maybe try that first.. Thank you for reading my review 💜

I love this stuff. I have been using it on and off for years. Now that I am in my late 30's this works better for my skin. I have large pores and oily skin, when I wear foundation it tends to cake up (even my favorite foundation) now that I am older. Using this powder does not dry my skin out, my skin does get oily throughout the day but I use blotting paper for that. This powder does not settle in my pores and does not make me break out. It's not 100% coverage but it makes your skin tone blend. I also have milia under my eyes and this helps decrease the prominence of them.

I love that it feels like I'm not wearing makeup when I use the Laura Geller powder foundation. It builds fairly well for medium coverage, but I wouldn't say it gets to full coverage. I still use concealer with it. The only real issue I have with it is the color. I bought the lightest shade, and it's still a bit too dark. My finishing powder helps to lighten it a little bit, though. I wish there were more color options. On the positive side, it gives a nice glowy look without being glittery or accentuating imperfections like large pores. I've been using it for my daily foundation, but choose a full coverage foundation for occasions. In summary, good product - needs more color choices.
