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

Amazing foundation for women +40. Doesn’t settle in your fine lines, and has buildable coverage without looking cakey. The shades might be a tad darker than it shows in the ads, so you might want to go with a shade lighter than you would normally wear…. As I said, it’s easy to build up the coverage, so with more layers, it gets a little darker, which is why I would recommend going with a shade lighter than you would normally get. I’m a medium, and the medium gets too dark for me after two or three applications…. With a lighter tone, it’s easier to blend into a darker shade, if you need to. But if it’s too dark to begin with, it might be harder to tone it down…. Overall, I love this company. I’m not a heavy makeup user, and usually apply it once or twice a week , if I’m going out. So this is perfect for me, bc I prefer the natural look as opposed to the glamour makeup look that seems to be so popular now…. I don’t have the time or patience for contouring and highlighting, or baking and airbrushing… this stuff simply covers up redness and slight blemishes with one sweep of the brush, and gives a fuller coverage with each layer, without giving that cakey look that liquid foundations are so famous for. (And the reason I’m TERRIFIED of wearing makeup in general…. 😫Base lines😫) As I said, I only wear makeup 2-3 times a week, and I bought this compact 3 months ago. Regardless of how often you use it, I can guarantee it will still last longer than most powder foundations you’ve used in the past. And it feels lightweight and breathable…. Try it and you won’t be disappointed!!

I was skeptical purchasing this type of foundation. I find many foundations are either too heavy, don’t cover as I wanted, or the color is off.I bought the Laura Gellar baked foundation with high hopes. I wasn’t disappointed. Not only was the shade I chose, perfect, it went on flawlessly. Buildable coverage if needed. Goes on very well with a kabuki brush, which I already had. It feels almost like I’m wearing nothing in my face, yet I see the remarkable results. I used this over the spackle cream, which also was lightweight, barely felt as if I was wearing it. Between both of these products, I got the result I wanted. Sheer coverage, lightweight, and excellent light coverage, with no signs of it settling into creases. As a more mature lady, I would definitely recommend.

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 really love this foundation! I am 45 years old and i was looking for something a little easier and quicker to put on than liquid foundation and gentler for my easily irritated rosacea skin. I use a kabuki brush that i already had. This applies and stays really well over just a moisturizer. It melts into my skin unlike any other powder foundation that I have tried and it really does color correct some dark spots and scars I have from acne and age. It also does not emphasize my peach fuzz which is an issue for most powder products that I use and it wears really well throughout the day. I actually like it even better as my oils come through later in the day. I do have hotflashes and it survives sweating fairly well, better than other powder products and better than a lot of my liquid foundations.My only complaint is the shade range. I have very fair olive skin. My best liquid foundation matches are Revlon colorstay in Buff and About-face the Performer in F2Olive. I first got the porcelain because I would prefer a foundation to be lighter rather than too dark and orange. The porcelain was a bit too light and too pink but I wanted to make it work, so I ended up buying fair in addition to porcelain and I mix them which is a perfect match! I got them at 51% off so I'm not too upset about it especially since the formula is so amazing! I hope this is helpful!
