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

Shocked at how good this is! Fantastic coverage and blending, lightweight and easy apply. I put this on while my face was red from having a cold—bad nose area, dry skin, under-eye bags—and it's covered almost everything. Will buy this again and again. Will also very likely switch permanently from my liquid foundation.

After using the same foundation for the past 10 years, it was time for a change. The foundation I used in my 40’s no longer looked good in my 50’s and sat in my fine lines or made my skin look caked & dry. I’d done lots of research into different brands and it was a choice between Jones Road or Laura Geller. After watching a lot of videos, reviews & tutorials decided to give LG a go as it was less expensive. I’ve always brought make up in store but was reassured by their free returns/exchange policy incase the shade wasn’t right. I also liked the fact that they were Cruelty Free - something that was important to me but not immediately obvious on their website, I had to do some research to find this out (Laura Geller you’re missing a trick here!) I was pleased with the packaging and how the product looked but was really impressed with how the actual product worked for me. I’ve found dabbing a little on at a time with a big brush helps build the coverage to your liking. It definitely doesn’t sit in my fine lines and doesn’t look cakey. You can achieve a natural look easily and it’s long lasting. It definitely covers the redness on my nose & cheeks. I’ve been so impressed with this I ordered the next shade down too as my skin colour changes in winter in the UK when I lose my tan. I also ordered the Baked Starter Kit direct from LG in the USA as the discount was better. I’ve been beyond impressed with this. As a blonde with pinky tones, the colour choices are perfect and the products stay put. I’ve never been able to blend eyeshadow effectively but this colour combo and product makes me look like a pro!! So, a big YES for Laura Geller from the UK for me, great value for money and great products which are easy to use and compliment mature skin beautifully!

I was dragged into the hype of this and couldn't resit. Ordered last night and it arrived this morning. What a surprise to find it is actually really good :) the box was undamaged as was the powders inside ( a few reviews with badly damaged products ) there are guides on how to use the product which is helpful for me as I tend not to wear a lot of make up and haven't a clue on what goes where with all the products on the market. Currently I only ever wear a good moisturiser, mascara and eye liner with a nice lip balm. This set ( I bought the starter set as well ) is going to encourage me to wear a little make up now as is so easy to use and doesn't look caked on. Really light to wear. A little on the expensive side but I guess you get what you pay for. Glad I bought it. Really happy with my new powder and the starter set. Only a four star as it is a little pricey for what it is, but I guess you get what you pay for.

Love it, Love it. Love it I tried all three of the baked foundations and for me this is my favourite and perfect for a daytime look. It is super quick and easy to apply (so long as you have the right tools - ie the retractable beauty brush) and mess free!. It's just the right finish fot me and has a nice luminosity which is enough to give a nice dewey look without being too shiny. I am very fair skinned so could have probably got away with either the fair or porcelain shade but went with porcelain (the lightest shade) for it's pink tones as my skin can tend to look a bit sallow sometimes. It has a real brightening effect which brings the skin to life, it doesn't look or feel heavy or like you are wearing heavy make up or look 'mask like' or cakey as some liquid foundation can. It's a lovely natural finish which is just enough to even skin tone and bring your face to life. Some reviewers have commented they found it a bit pricey but one thing to remember is that one of these will easily last for months of end and you would probably have had to buy at least 4 bottles of liquid foundation before this needed replacing. Others have said they feel this doesn't give enough coverage. Although this is buildable it is designed to give a natural light to medium coverage. If you want a fuller coverage I would recommend using the double take foundation with either this or balance and glow on top. When I apply this (or any of the baked foundations) I always put a little face oil first ( due to my skin being probt yo dryness) and let it sir a few minutes before applying the foundation. I feel like the oil helps it adhere my skin. I also find a make up fixing mist helps set it in place. Before this I tried the balance and glow but found it too shiny to use on its own, although it does work extremely well on top of the double take full coverage foundation when I want more of a full make up look - such as on a night out.

I've been seeing this brand on FB and thought it looked quite nice, people seem to rave about it being a non heavy powder type cover for those of us not liking heavy makeup. I went on the website and checked which shade I should probably go for and it suggested light so I went with that. At this point I should probably say I only really went for it as it was 30% ish off and with prime delivery, it made it more affordable to try but still at over £20 for a shot in the dark I was keeping my fingers crossed it would be worth it. I should probably also say that I rarely wear makeup, don't have great skin, a return to blemishes in my fifties ...yaaay menopause! and very visible pores. Anyway... it arrived and my first thought was "Is this it? I thought it would be bigger" I've no idea why other than it just looks bigger when those ladies are "swooshing " their kabuki brushes over it . I'm opening the small box to find an, obviously, even smaller case with a domed top and quite thick plastic so it getting more diminutive with each layer removed. At this point I'm kind of unimpressed but carry on. On opening the compact case, there is a small mirror on the lid, like a half circle, this has fingerprints on it so I've either got a returned one (which I wouldn't think would be allowable with a personal product for hygiene reasons) or they were put on there at manufacture which, again ... ??. SO I think ....Welllll it doesn't look as though it's been used ....maybe just try it a little? Oh dear! Hmmm , well (shrugs) started off like I couldn't see a difference where I'd applied it so added a bit more, all of a sudden I'm pale with huge cavernous pores, EEK! I think "maybe I've done something wrong, try a bit more and it's supposed to "fill" the pores. Step back and my face seems to be turning orange.... and crinkly (I have frown lines - elevens I think people call them? and quite deep lines from my nose to corners of my mouth (serious menopause RBF) but not wrinkles or lines other than that sort of thing. Now I look like the love child of the head oompa loompa and Miss Havisham! Horrified , I grabbed a damp flannel and basically sort of pressed it to my face to blot the worst of it off. Significantly improved! Dampened and less powdery, I see more of a glowy type thing going on but chances are I've now turned powder to paste a la polyfilla and blocked every pore in the vicinity So as a non makeup user, I likely did something wrong even though you supposedly just "swoosh and dust" type of thing. To any experienced user of such frippery (oh gawd I really sound like the old battleaxe now!) who may have made it this far into my ramblings, you're probably rolling your eyes and tutting at my ineptitude and know EXACTLY where I/it went so wrong. Unfortunately you're not able to tell me as comments are no longer a thing on here but hey ho. I can confirm it is multi coloured pressed powder, it does seem to change colour but not exactly to match my skin tone ....other than that I reckon it's a bit lacking in quantity for the price. Make of that what you will and hope you have better luck with it than I did if you decide to go ahead and buy it

Lovely finish makes the skin glow x great coverage last all day great quality good size good value for money x

Baked foundation is brilliant. I was a little bit sceptic whether is that different from cheaper make up, but it is very smooth and stays on the whole day. No need for liquid foundation. Highly recommended.

Received this item today. Expected it to be much bigger. The weight is only 1.5g...it's tiny. Did a bit of research as to why it was so small. It's a travel size! There is a bigger size so be careful that you order correctly. Disappointed that the travel size is around the same cost as it's bigger sibling. From what I can see, there's no actual weight of the product given in the description. Be sure to double check you buy the size you want. I will give this a try but not sure how long I'll get from it. Bigger size will be better for swirling a kabuki brush in. Because of smaller size, it will take longer to apply which is something I wished to avoid. Feels good though and light. Goes on quite smoothly on my combo skin. But a little dry under my eyes.
