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

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)

I bought this because it was on a flash deal and I’d seen a few commercials. At the sale price, it was worth a try, since I’ve finally come to accept that I need to think of my skin as mature, despite my best efforts to deny that I’m aging (I’m 53). I’d previously not even considered the brand because it was marketed for older consumers. I don’t think it needs to only be for older women, since I would have been happy with the product if I had found it 20 years ago. I also bought the Laura Geller brush to go with the foundation, which I’m glad I did, since it’s a great product.I absolutely love this foundation and will buy it again, though I’ll get a matte finish next time. I don’t generally prefer a dewy look, but I didn’t notice that was the finish when I bought it. There’s nothing wrong with it, but it’s not my preference. It hasn’t stopped me from using it though.I did my best to match the color based on what I could see on the Laura Geller site to the powder I had been using. While not an exact match, what I ordered turned out to be close enough. It gives a really natural look, with great coverage, and is so quick to apply (why I prefer powder to liquid foundation).

Golden medium is for a complexion that is more what is known as “olive” skin, if you’d like a sun-kissed dewy look. If you’re looking for a baked look, this color or powder formula is NOT for you. Because I need, want and like complete full coverage, I usually use a base foundation (either a bb cream or full coverage Phoera) it’s beautiful but it’s not too pigmented. Here’s a tip. If you’re over 40 and have creases under your eyes? Here’s an easy fix, place a tiny bit of Vaseline in your eye circles and that’s it! It won’t cake after that. Buy their brush! You’re going to need it! Trust me!

I think we can all agree that we’ve seen the ads for this. I often wonder sometimes if when I see ads like this is the product any good? Please read this review very carefully. I absolutely love this product - it 100% lives up to the hype. I have extremely fair skin and as I’ve aged, I’ve noticed it’s really kind of become uneven in places so I was looking for a product that didn’t feel like I was spackling my face every day I hate wearing face makeup. I never wore it when I was younger even in my 20s and 30s this product goes on so easy feels absolutely weightless and looks phenomenal. The first time you put in on you will notice a difference immediately you can layer it if you need to, but honestly one single coat covers most imperfections and it blends beautifully with your natural skin color. I have recommended this to my sister, my friends, and yes, even my mother if you were looking for a truly fabulous beauty product that will give you the coverage you need but still feels weightless. This is that product!
