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

Both my mum and I ordered the foundation & kabuki brush when it was being sold with other pieces at a discount. I started small with the addition of the lipstick while she bought the whole palette. I’m jealous! The brush, when used right, delivers the perfect amount of powder to cover a large scar in my forehead, but it is still able to give light, even, matte coverage all over. There’s no scent and it doesn’t bother my sensitive skin at all. I wish I’d bought the whole kit & caboodle while it was at a lower price. Hint: definitely buy the brush as well. It delivers perfect coverage plus retracts to fit in the smallest makeup bag. I also loved the lipstick BTW. It’s odd looking with the marbling but goes on light and even and the colour lasts. My lips always feel hydrated, the colour is gorgeous, and it’s so light when applied it doesn’t feel like I’m wearing anything on my lips.

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!

First pic is all naturalSecond pic is the FAIR on top of primer.I made several passes with my kabuki brush b/c it said it was buildable. I also used a denser brush to cover better.I have been wanting to try her brand for a while. I see the ads everywhere and I was curious. The only reason I finally got it is b/c it was on sale and had a coupon. I got it for about $20. I think that's a fair price.Overall- I liked it b/c it did not settle into my eye or lip lines. This has been a major issue for me lately (I'm pushing 60). This is supposed to be geared more for mature skin. I agree that it did better than my liquid for making my lines & wrinkles worse.I know it's not a full coverage, but honestly, I though it would cover my freckles & age spots a little better, especially after using primer. I used it 1st w/o primer and it just looked like pressed powder, there was NO coverage.I am glad I tried it, it is enough coverage for everyday as I am not a big makeup person. This would NOT be my go-to foundation for a special event though. I like more coverage for those events. But it is enough to go to the grocery store & run errands.I also feel like it is kinda messy. I had to put a towel on my black granite countertop b/c the powder does go everywhere, especially using a kabuki brush.Overall- it did not look as great on my as it does in all the ads & videos I see out there. I did not get the "magic feeling" I though I would get, but it is good enough for very basic coverage.

I have been searching for the perfect foundation and I can’t believe I found it in a powder form! This powder is amazing! I am 56 and it’s hard to find coverage that doesn’t settle in the fine lines and make them pronounced or make my pores look like an orange peel. I can not believe how beautiful my skin looks! I look like a professional did my make up! I love it, it feels like I’m not wearing any makeup, the color is perfect and it was easy to apply and build up in some areas, it also covered up my under eye darkness which is something hard to do! Love it really try this powder it’s is perfect for mature skin!
