Award-Winning Baked Balance-n-Brighten Color Correcting Powder Foundation – Handmade in Italy – Buildable Coverage, Matte Finish – For Mature & Sensitive Skin – 02 Fair

I genuinely love this product! Some background: I have combination skin and often have difficulties finding a good color match due to time faded freckles all over my face. I am in my early thirties and I feel like my skin is in that weird in between phase where I am starting to get a few fine lines and my skin is starting to lose a little bit of its glow. I want to make sure I’m using products that are going to be gentle as my skin ages but also help me get some serious natural looking glow back. So I’ll list the reasons this product is now my everyday go to! 1. The coverage is buildable and isn’t heavy. I also have the kabuki brush and I like that I can have variations of coverage in different areas and it will all still blend together seamlessly. 2. I use a liquid concealer for my eyes. This powder blends over it well and doesn’t cause the concealer to cake up underneath like some other products I’ve tried. 3. The blurring and brightening effect is just beautiful! It has given me my natural glow back. 4. I use shade medium and I find it works very well with my freckles and complexion. It doesn’t mismatch my neck or look too light/dark. ANDDDD it doesn’t show up orange! Big win! 5. I don’t really need to use liquid foundation anymore because I get such good variation in whatever coverage I want. 6. Touch ups are very easy. I can go from less coverage during the day to simply adding more coverage at night before I go to dinner or anything like that. 7. Easy to travel with. I have started keeping it in my bag every day. 8. It doesn’t irritate my skin. 9. For a powder, it holds well throughout the day without clogging your pores. I don’t need a setting spray. 10. Because of the formula’s versatility, I feel that this is a great powder for ALL age types. My mom (age 65) now uses it and so does my younger coworker (age 26). Overall, great quality, versatility, broad coverage range, brightening, shade matching, and skin gentleness. Pricing is very reasonable as well. I’m truly grateful I found this as my new everyday foundation!

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!

At my age, this is the perfect makeup. It does exactly what it says without feeling heavy or cakey. It blends to your skin color and skin type and it lasts all day long. It does not even feel like I have anything on my face and nothing is melting off. I do not break out with this stuff. A little goes a long way and it lasts me at least 4 months. The only makeup I will wear in my mid 40's and beyond. Thank you Laura!!

Beautiful compact, I ordered light and it has light beautiful, build able coverage. If it came with a round application sponge, I would of given it a 5! The sponge would give better and smoother coverage. Now I have to go buy a round makeup sponge. Something this manufacturer should include.

The reviews are true! My "mature skin" looks great when I wear makeup now. I need to figure out how all the others make it last all day but I'm pretty sure that I can do it. This is very easy to apply. It looks and feels great!

I’m loving this baked powder foundation. I’ve never tried a powder foundation because I assumed there was no way it would work as well as liquid. Boy was I wrong. I put it on at 10am this morning. It’s now after 11pm and my makeup still looks fresh and as if I just put it on. It hasn’t worn off at all! Further, I have very oily skin and often apply powder several times a day. But I haven’t needed to apply powder even once today. Even my nose has remained oil free. I put it on dry at first, then put the other half on wet - but I didn’t really notice a difference either way, so I’ll probably apply it dry from now on. The coverage is great and gives an even, matte finish on my skin while lightly covering some sun spots I have on my face. And the color is a perfect match to my light, but slightly tanned skin. Today is the first time I’ve used it, but so far I am blown away and wish I’d tried it years ago. The price is a tad high if you’re on a budget, but it’s well worth it now that I’ve used it. I’ll be curious to see how long it lasts though. Regardless, I highly recommend and am super happy with this purchase.

This is good quality foundation but does not offer full coverage (dark spots, redness)

Just received other day after getting on sale half price. I was impressed with the finish compared to most powders, there does seem to be shimmer, so good to keep in mind if you aren't looking for any shine. I agree with other reviews that it does have a little more orange/bronzing effect than I would expect for regular foundation shade and after using this is now my perfect go to for pairing with green color corrected balm since it perfectly balances out the green notes in red reduction color corrector giving you a natural balance. I would classify this as more of a color corrector balancing product than a straight foundation, if applied lightly it gives you a nice balanced effect evening out skin tone and could be great for adding a little more contour to face on light makeup days or with an otherwise very flat toned foundation/powder. If you do go heavy with this, you will get more of bronzed orange pigment notes than expected since those pigments come out stronger in mix. I'm glad I got this though because it fills gap of other products allowing me to just use the green balm I like for color correcting and then a quick powder of this over that looks beautiful.

My wife bought this and she loves it. she has fair skin and the color is perfect and covers what she wants covered. she says it can feel a bit dry when first applied but lasts all day without setteling in to fine lines

Ich mache mir selten die Mühe eine Rezension zu schreiben, dieses Puder hat es allerdings verdient! Als Kosmetikerin kenne ich allerhand Bräunungspuder, dieses ist unschlagbar! Ich bin ein eher blasser Herbsttyp und habe mich trotzdem an das dunkle Toffee gewagt und siehe da es wirft ein wunderschönes Braun in mein blasses Gesicht 👌 Mit dem richtigen Pinsel ein Highlight zu setzen, schafft jeder! Ich werde es immer wieder kaufen 🤗

Excellent make up for mature skin have been using it for years now.

Deshidrata la piel como cualquier polvo. No creo que sea cómodo para pieles maduras.

Its lovely to apply, can do just a dusting for every day and heavier for a 'made up' look. Love it.
