I’m in my 50s with naturally oily skin, and I’ve been really impressed with how beautifully the Laura Geller makeup lays on my skin. It gives such a smooth, natural finish without settling into fine lines, and it feels lightweight all day. I love the coverage and the way it enhances my complexion—it truly gives a radiant, polished look.
My only wish is that it helped a bit more with controlling oil throughout the day. Other than that, it’s nearly perfect!
Overall: A fantastic product for mature skin, especially if you’re looking for something that blends effortlessly and feels luxurious.

A Total Game-Changer for a Natural Glow! If you’re tired of heavy, cakey liquid foundations that settle into fine lines by lunchtime, you need to try the LAURA GELLER Baked Balance-n-Brighten Color Correcting Powder Foundation.
Effortless Color Correction: Unlike flat, one-dimensional powders, the swirls of different pigments (baked on terracotta tiles in Italy!) do all the work for you.
It instantly neutralizes redness and brightens up sallow skin without needing a separate primer or corrector.
This is one of the few powder foundations that doesn’t emphasize texture or wrinkles. Because it starts as a cream and is baked into a powder, it retains a hydrating quality that keeps the skin looking luminous rather than dusty.

Ich habe die Laura Geller Baked Balance-n-Brighten Color Correcting Foundation in der Nuance Medium ausprobiert und bin begeistert von den Ergebnissen! Die Textur ist wunderbar leicht und lässt sich mühelos auftragen. Dank des gebackenen Formats sorgt die Foundation für ein gleichmäßiges und natürliches Finish, das den ganzen Tag hält.
Besonders gut gefällt mir die Farbkorrektur, die Unregelmäßigkeiten im Hautton ausgleicht. Rötungen werden gemildert, und meine Haut sieht frisch und strahlend aus. Die Deckkraft ist individuell anpassbar – ich kann eine leichte Schicht für einen natürlichen Look oder mehrere Schichten für mehr Deckkraft auftragen, ohne dass es cakey wirkt.
Die Verpackung ist zudem praktisch und handlich, perfekt für unterwegs. Ich schätze auch, dass die Foundation für verschiedene Hauttypen geeignet ist und nicht austrocknet, was sie ideal für meine Mischhaut macht.
Insgesamt eine hervorragende Foundation, die ich nur wärmstens empfehlen kann! Sie ist definitiv ihr Geld wert und hat sich zu einem unverzichtbaren Teil meiner Make-up-Routine entwickelt.

Glides on smoothly with a light, silky feel to it. It didn’t seem to have any scent to it either. Love the way the colors are swirled together to make it a good match for your skin tone. I got a shade lighter because some reviews say it runs a bit darker and I wanted a good match (which I got). Nice compact but I wish the mirror was full sized and not just half of that, as it would be easier to see yourself and apply powder. All in all, it’s very nice and does seem to glide over my wrinkles (I’m 65). Bought it on an amazing Amazon sale too! I think I’m going to try the highlighter next, to brighten up my complexion even more!

As a woman who just turned 40 I was looking for a makeup that was not a liquid but gave great coverage. This makeup hits all the boxes! It has many colors in it and blends to fit your skin tone. It is so easy to apply, you just brush it on and blend it. The quality is great and even on my sensitive skin it does not clog my pores. It adds a natural glow to your skin and for the price you can’t miss out. Everyone over the age of 35 should try this makeup!

Confezione perfetta. Arrivata veloce. Colore bello, medio. Coprenza cosi cosi, metterò un po di coprimacchie prima. Ma il fatto che sia una polvere lo rende molto pratico anche da portare in palestra.

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!

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 💜

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

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 tried to give it 5 stars! This is a great light to medium coverage powder coverage. It really does work great pink mature skin with fine lines and slight to moderate wrinkles. Very soft, even coverage. Accurate color. If you’re very fair, go with the porcelain color. I’m saving the fair colour for summer when I have a slight tan. I’m trying all of her makeup now!

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 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.

Feels nice on the skin and it’s like nothing is on the face! Good coverage when you are in a hurry and on the go. I didn’t use any moisturizer or primer and it looked great! I do have combination skin and I can’t imagine what it will look like with moisturizer and primer!!
Ityrat –
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.
Amazon Customer –
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 70+, so I was absolutely leery about using a powder foundation, but the commercial convinced me to look at reviews. And I read a lot in hopes it would help me with color choice. I read in one that light was a summer tone. I was looking for something to bring some light but not overwhelming color. I found a deal to purchase both the Double Take and the Balance and Brighten in Light. I am very pleased with both. I have a kabuki brush which made it easy to apply a light foundation and build on. It gave a such a nice, silky, coverage that evened out my skin tone and perfect for a more natural daytime look. The Baked Balanced and and Brighten which is matte gave more coverage for nighttime. I love both. I like that you can build the color to your liking. It stays on well and did not settle into any areas on my face. I think the kabuki brush truly helps attain that finish.

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.

All women at least over 50 should try this amazing powder. We already have a beautiful face & this powder enhances our natural beauty. I do not use any other powder now that I tried this. I am 60 & I am told that I look like I am in my late 40s. The product goes on nicely with the brush & it does feel nor appear that I have to much makeup, you look bright and you have a nice finished look. It stays fresh all day long, as well as adventurous times at night. It does not come off on pillows during hose times when you cannot remove before bed. You still look fresh! No skin irritation, texture great & it does not look too thick on your face, it blends in with all of your earned wrinkles & facial scars, the product does not highlight those features you might want to hide. I love the product, I wish I had used it years before.
