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

I recently tried the Laura Geller New York Mineral Baked Facial Powder, and I’m really impressed by its overall performance. The powder has a silky, lightweight texture that blends effortlessly into the skin, leaving a natural and radiant finish. I especially appreciate that it doesn’t feel heavy or cakey, even after a full day of wear. One of the standout features is its baked formula, which gives the powder a smooth consistency and a subtle luminosity. It works beautifully for setting makeup or as a finishing touch to even out the complexion. I found that it reduces shine without making my skin look flat, which is perfect for creating a soft, airbrushed effect. The color payoff is buildable, allowing for both a light dusting or a more polished look, and it seems to work well across different skin types. Plus, it stayed in place for hours without oxidizing or emphasizing dry patches. Overall, I would highly recommend the Laura Geller Mineral Baked Facial Powder for anyone looking for a dependable, natural-looking finishing powder that enhances the skin’s glow without feeling heavy. It’s a great addition to a daily makeup routine and definitely worth trying.

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!

I really like this powder foundation overall. It goes on very nicely and smoothly, and it blends easily into the skin. It gives great coverage without feeling heavy, and it leaves a natural, even finish that looks polished but not cakey. The only downside for me is the scent. I can definitely smell it while I’m wearing it, which isn’t my favorite thing. It’s not overpowering, but it’s noticeable enough that I wish it were fragrance-free. Other than that, it’s a great powder foundation and one I’ll continue to use.

Anyone over 50 needs to invest in this makeup! Great color and coverage Evens out skin Stays on all day Excellent product

I love this stuff. I have been using it on and off for years. Now that I am in my late 30's this works better for my skin. I have large pores and oily skin, when I wear foundation it tends to cake up (even my favorite foundation) now that I am older. Using this powder does not dry my skin out, my skin does get oily throughout the day but I use blotting paper for that. This powder does not settle in my pores and does not make me break out. It's not 100% coverage but it makes your skin tone blend. I also have milia under my eyes and this helps decrease the prominence of them.

I have been using this product for over a year now.. I’ll admit that despite my lower rating and the issues I’ll explain, I’ll probably continue using the product until i can find a better option. To explain further.. My biggest issue is that the consistency of this product is VERY unpredictable.. I provided a picture of an example.. the two products in the picture are the exact same product.. baked & brighten foundation in color: fair.. the product on the right is the what i was replacing and the product on the left is what i was sent. Again this is the EXACT SAME PRODUCT. You can easily see how much lighter the newer product is on the left. The blend is so different and is mainly the lighter shade in the blend. I purchased these products only a month apart. This inconsistency has happens very often.. ..The blend is always inconsistent. This newer shade is too light for me so, this means i had to order ANOTHER in a shade darker to mix the two products to match my skin. That’s expensive, unfair and annoying. I should not have to worry about getting a consistent color. Matching this to your skin is definitely not as easy as they depict. I found matching my skin tone to be really difficult initially and with the inconsistent blend, I continue to have this issue. In addition, this absolutely DOES settle in deeper wrinkles and lines.. it even settles in fine lines. This is better than some other foundations meant for aging skin but, this hardly helps the issue with lines and wrinkles.. especially if you sweat! I am almost 42 yrs old so my lines are faint. This settles in the one wrinkle i have near my nose/lip area. I constantly have to reblend this area. This also easily runs and smudges with even mild perspiration. But, it does give a soft appearance. It helps but does not fully cover redness. It’s easy to apply although it can cake up. It will even out skin tone. It feels fine on although multiple touch ups are required throughout the day. Overall, i only buy this product when it’s on sale or i have a discount. I have a hard time with paying full price since there are so many issues with it (about $37 full price). I feel like there are many better products but, it’s very expensive to keep trying to find the perfect foundation for me. I hope to find a better product but will use this until. I guess i recommend it but, if you suspect there is a better option, maybe try that first.. Thank you for reading my review 💜

I have purchased this product off and on for years but I am here to stay. This product can provide light but make no mistake you can get full coverage easy. I use a triangle velvet type powder puff which has proven better for me than any brush. On areas I need extra coverage I pat the product on that area and then lightly buff. This really is a powder to cream type finish. I don't look matte but I don't look donut glaze shiny or sparkly either. Mature skin simply doesn't work with shiny faces. This provides great coverage but a really natural look when you zoom in on a magnified mirror. The coverage also allows me to not need concealers or color correctors either. It covers that well. I can't wear multiple layers of makeup and this does it all. Simply pat an extra layer of product if you need more coverage. After a few minutes, you skin warms the product and you only need light buffing for any areas needing it.

I really like this product it goes on very easy, is buildable, and really looks great on my skin. I have fair skin, so I got the porcelain shade. I wore it for the first time today to give it a try, and I'm very impressed. It didn't irritate my skin or my eyes (like around my eye area I mean), and lasted all day and still looked great here at 10pm before I washed it off my face for the night. Today I used my regular primer underneath the laura geller foundation, but tomorrow I am going to try my regular tinted lightweight moisturizer underneath to see which I like better. Needless to say, I think I'll be buying more of this product as soon as I run out. Thank you!
