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

It’s ALL in review! Id give 10 stars if pos! look @pic of me @wrk(in a hot factory)@break.
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)

Great Product, But Too Light for My Skin
I really like the LAURA GELLER Baked Balance-N-Glow Illuminating Foundation in Light—it’s buildable, gives a beautiful sheer finish, and adds a nice glow to my complexion. However, the Light shade turned out to be a bit too light for me, even with my fair skin tone. I think I need just a shade darker to get the perfect match. Overall, the formula is great, and I plan to purchase the next shade up for my next order. Definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a lightweight, glowing foundation!

Well!?!?!?!
Feels great on the skin for about 30 minutes then my skin starts looking and feeling a little dry. I normally use a porcelain color as I am pretty pale, so ordered that shade which made my skin look shiny white. So I ordered the fair which was actually the perfect color. Now….why would I wear a foundation that made my skin look dry? Well if I had no makeup on and had to run to the store or had a surprise visitor walking up my driveway I might swirl this powder foundation on real quick. It does make your skin look flawless for a few minutes and gives you a little color and is light weight with a healthy looking shimmer. I’ll keep it because I have had those scenarios happen. To be fair I need to say I have 65+ skin, but am told constantly how beautiful my skin is. And also told I don’t need a primer so……if I were 25 or so I just might have used this foundation routinely.

Very good product does a wonderful job

Light as a feather !

It was a little darker than I thought but it went on really smoothly with good coverage.
