Baked Balance-N-Glow Illuminating Foundation - Medium - Buildable Sheer to Light Coverage - Satin Finish

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)

I have ordered this makeup twice so far. Because the price was very cheap and it is a very good quality brand name. It goes on easy and looks flawless with excellent coverage. I use a liquid foundation and use a powder puff to apply it. It doesn't take much and it last all day. I wear it daily and it is easy to remove.

I recently purchased the Foundation Powder from Amazon, and I have to say, I’m extremely impressed with the quality and performance. As someone who has been using powder foundation for years, I’m always on the lookout for one that provides full coverage without looking cakey, and this product has checked all the boxes! Here’s my detailed review based on my experience: Packaging and Presentation The packaging is sleek, compact, and convenient. It arrived in a sturdy, travel-friendly case with a mirror inside, which makes it super easy to apply on the go. The powder itself is tightly secured in the container, and the lid closes securely to avoid spills. It’s a practical size that fits comfortably in my makeup bag or vanity drawer, and I love the built-in mirror for quick touch-ups throughout the day. Shade and Color Selection The foundation powder is available in a variety of shades to match different skin tones, and I found my perfect match fairly easily. I chose the shade [specify shade, e.g., Medium Beige], and it blends beautifully with my complexion, creating a natural, even-toned look. The color doesn’t appear too yellow or pink, which I’ve experienced with other brands, and it’s the right balance of warm and neutral undertones. I was able to find a shade that worked well without having to try multiple colors. Texture and Consistency The powder is finely milled, giving it a smooth, silky texture that applies evenly to the skin. It feels lightweight and airy, which I love because I don’t feel like I’m wearing a heavy layer of makeup. Despite being a powder, it provides a nice, soft finish that doesn’t feel dry or chalky. It also has a matte finish, which is perfect for my oily skin, and it doesn’t make my face look shiny by the end of the day. Coverage and Application I was blown away by the coverage! This foundation powder offers buildable coverage, which means I can apply a light layer for a more natural look or layer it for full coverage when I need it. The powder does an excellent job of evening out my complexion, covering blemishes, and hiding redness. It also provides a slight blurring effect, smoothing out imperfections and making my skin appear more flawless. I used a fluffy makeup brush to apply it, and the product distributed evenly, blending seamlessly into my skin without any streaks or patches. Longevity One of the things I love most about this foundation powder is how long it lasts. It stays put for hours without needing touch-ups, which is a big plus for me since I don’t like to reapply foundation throughout the day. Even after a full workday, my makeup still looks fresh, with no fading or uneven patches. It also keeps my face matte for an extended period, which is a game-changer for my oily T-zone. I don’t have to worry about my foundation slipping or melting away in hot weather, and it stays in place even during long hours. Skin Feel and Comfort Another huge plus is how comfortable this powder feels on the skin. It doesn’t irritate or dry out my face like some powders do. It’s breathable, lightweight

Very natural looking. Perfect match for my skin tone. I’m 44 so I do have sun spots like crazy and it covers them pretty well

Hands down excellent gentle powder foundation. Comfortable, wonderful finish and gentle way to hide imperfections and prepare your face for a bit of color. It lasts well and just makes skin look healthier with a quick application. Daily go-to for me.

UPDATE: I have used this for a week now and wanted to give an update to my review. I had mentioned the product made my face burn when I first used it, it's no longer doing that although my face is still red when I take it off . Second, I have found it doesn't go on uniform and leaves your face very splotchy, some areas very dark while others are lighter, This happens especially when you're trying to build it up, and if you have to rub your face for any reason, such as blowing your nose, it comes right off. You'll spend the rest of the day very splotchy; for this I dropped a star. It does provide the light to medium coverage that it says it does (don't expect full coverage). Also, I purchased the light (I normally wear a medium) and I feel it's still too dark for my skin tone. It says you can go up or down one shade either way but I'm not seeing that. I went down a shade from my normal foundation color and it's still too dark and looks like I've had my face in a tanning machine. I'm not planning to return because I do like using it very lightly over my foundation, I think it works very well for that purpose but as for foundation, I'll be sticking with my Estee Lauder! ORIGINAL I got this today and had to try it. I was very skeptical that it would give any coverage but I was very surprised. I would say it gives light to medium coverage but is definitely buildable It covers well, goes on very smooth and feels lightweight on your skin. The reason for only 4 stars is because I have controlled. I have only used Estee Lauder facial products for the last 15 years because they do not bother my rosacea at all. However, even though this product says it is good for people with rosacea, as soon as I put it on, my face started to burn so I washed it off. I didn't keep it on long enough to tell if it creased but I'm going to try it again tomorrow and I will update the review once I give it a second try.

Mature ladies! THIS WORKS! I know it flies in the face of reason using a powder as foundation, but this product is amazing! I've tried countless foundations (I'm not even kidding) and as a last resort, I decided to give this a try. Good bye to the to the frustration of purchasing makeup modeled by the youngsters that never worked. I'm very light skinned, so I went with "fair" which was too dark, (white neck) but the color and finish was glowy and gorgeous. So I ordered a "porcelains " shade, do one swipe with fair, one with porcelain, then apply. Perfect. This doesn't catch too much in fine lines and wrinkles, just a bit. Not a problem considering the terrible pore enhancing, show EVERY FLAW foundations I've tried Liquid foundations that claimed the opposite. I just go over the wisdom lines (♥️) with a qtip after powder has set a few minutes. Also crazy considering I'm applying powder foundation, I used a primer product called blur by Milani because it was recommended by a mature woman in a make up tutorial. I cannot believe it, but it works, but never worked with liquids! I just ordered Laura Geller primer and received it yesterday, I can't wait to try! I'll do an update. The little extra challenge is ...layering. Another crazy making challenge . Too much and everything piles and is terrible. But yep, that works too! Hoping this helps my mature sisters so I'm giving you the keys. 1. Wash face 2. Vitamin C drops by The Ordinary 3. Apply moisturizer (this is the tricky part because as with foundation, I've been through countless products. I use Eucerin cream!! 4. Apply La roche sunscreen I let this set for at least 20 minutes while I'm having coffee. 5. Apply primer, wait 2 minutes (use a flat brush if you have one) 6. Get busy with my baked powder. Sooooo, wonderful!! The eyeshadows are just as gorgeous, only slightly catches in wisdom lines (dab with qtip). Blush and contour heavily pigmented (last forever) so application brush shape and blender buffs very important. If you can spring for the fancy brushes, great. If not, Elf brushes are dirt cheap and do pretty good, just apply lightly because you can add more, not really take off. This stuff stays put! I hope this helps! I'm 61, glowing with smooth makeup and thrilled!

I like the product and have been using it for over a year now. Nice coverage and feels good on my skin. Does not cause me to break out. This last purchase of the same product, same color came, and it is way too dark for me. Completely different shade! I didn’t open it until I needed it, and now it is past the return time. Now I am worried about buying another.

I wear a very light foundation then put the Laura Gellar Balance n Glow Illuminating foundation over the top to give a beautiful light from within. It is very a suttle glow , which looks beautiful. Doesn't settle into fine lines and wrinkles and is buildable. I get a deeper shade to put all over my large forhead.

Very good

Buen producto, es polvo, buena fijación como base de maquillaje en polvo

It goes on patchy, and not light more orange in colour

I was very sceptical about claims for mature skin. I am converted! At 72 yrs old,this is gives a lovely finish. The balance and brighten- shade fair-is ok - but the Balance and Glow shade fair is better. Lovely pearly finish. Thought it was a bit shiny at first but once you get used to it is grand. Covers all your blemishes. It gives a natural colour too. Recommend. Buy it.
