LAURA GELLER Baked Balance-n-Brighten Colour Correcting Powder Foundation (Deep) Buildable Light to Medium Coverage Baked Foundation, Demi-Matte Finish

Love it, Love it. Love itI 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.

Why did you choose this product over others?:Colour was disappointing. Product goes on thick with sponge applicator very chalky and did not look natural . The compact with brush is better.

Really pleased with this brush on foundation & ease of use for mature skin. It gives a natural look which you layer to your choice. I wear primer underneath and it lasts all day without sliding off of & marking clothes etcI did drop on bathroom laminate floor and a fair amount cracked off and had to be binned, as very messy & a waste of expensive product, but my fault. Now more careful!

Why did you choose this product over others?:Saw the advert and thought I would try it. Have to say, best results. Good coverage and doesnt look like I am even wearing anything.

I like the product but the casing is cheap and substandard for the price. The foundation lid broke and fell off after two weeks of use and the highlighter did the same after four weeks. In both cases the writing on the lid faded after a few weeks. The brush is also in a cheap plastic twist up. I have 2 twist up brushes that were vey cheap. I’ve had the years and they are much superior to the Laura Geller one. I think when they are charging these prices they need a complete overhaul of their supplier for cases and brushes.

Brilliant for older skin, does not sit in wrinkles or accentuate them. Recommend using the Laura Gella brush with this. You can have as much or little coverage as you want.

OK ??could of gone with a darker shade

Why did you choose this product over others?:I am really like, but I need more coverage
