[@SG-wq4rm]

Finally, someone's posting video without filters. Thank you for your honest video.

[@jlkitz1775]

As a WOC, I'd recommend Black girl Sunscreen, bc we struggle finding sunscreen that doesn't give US a white cast (hence the name)...thanks for great video doll 😍🥳

[@IvoryCherry]

Yes alot of ppl are recommending that one!

[@elissadona1]

Yes!! I was going to come on here and recommend that as well. It’s sold at target, and I LOVE it!

[@camillagainey]

Super Goop Is Also Amazing

[@ME-di7gb]

Laura Gellar is the OG creator of the baked powder. My mom and I have used her products for years. Laura Gellar also has some great deals on QVC, thats how we found out about her over 15 plus years ago. Im 32 now, I may have to try her B&B again, I remember really liking it. Her baked blushes are also amazing. So glad Lauras products are getting the spotlight it deserves! Thank you Ivory for doing a video on this!

[@CheshyreKitten]

I love her baked highlighter! Not the gelato swirl one, the french vanilla highlighter. It's so subtle and beautiful!

[@ME-di7gb]

@@CheshyreKitten her stuff is so pretty! I have used her highlights too!!! I don't know if they make the blush called pink grapefruit anymore but it was so good, I reccommed it!

[@IvoryCherry]

I have a baked Blush from Laura geller its awesome!

[@ME-di7gb]

@@IvoryCherry Hi Ivory! :) It totally is! The Milani are good dupes for it but nothing beats Laura Gellars!

[@theK0GEE]

I’m so glad this foundation is getting love! I’ve used this for years as a touch up/powder foundation! It’s definitely not full coverage but I’m okay with showing some acne too. I’m usually “light” in most foundation and even fair is a bit dark for me!

[@IvoryCherry]

yess I can totally see this being great as a touch up powder as well!! so good!

[@brodenmacarthur3955]

Yes I agree. I never order porcelain but thanks to your comment I changed it to porcelain. I think it looked to dark on her. Thank you!

[@rosesqu6012]

Please try the too faced born this way matte wear test!!!

[@KimberlyOnnen]

Have you tried the Laura Geller “Double Take” baked foundation? That has full coverage. You can apply it with the included sponge dry or wet, depending on the coverage you want. If I feel like I need more coverage in some areas, I’ll use some of the Double Take and then use the Balance & Brighten. The DT foundation doesn’t have the swirls of colors like the B&B.

[@l.g5776]

thank you, Im seeking matte full coverage powder. The BnB looks cool but it seems to be opposite of my want. Great share. Thanks again

[@KimberlyOnnen]

@@l.g5776 The Double Take baked foundation is matte. No sparkle of anything. 😉

Thanks for zooming in, to me that’s a must ‼️ Beautifull

[@natalieweizenegger4607]

Thank you for showing the puff application for a better coverage. I use the golden medium and I think it works on you too. I am older but still have acne oily complexion but I really like this foundation because I live in TX so it doesn’t slide off like a regular foundation in our heat.

[@l.g5776]

Is it glowy or matte to you? TIA

Thank for your review and not using a filter. I have my eye on this foundation. I might order it. You’re beautiful BTW!

you are so sweet thank you! andd yess I hope it works well for you!

[@toniboone9266]

This is my first time watching u and I love the way you're quick and to the point and don't beat around the bush. I've been wanting to try some of Laura Geller foundation, I'm really looking for something that is natural looking. I have normal skin and don't want to wear alot of makeup unless I go out somewhere. If I can get away with a little foundation and my permanent eyeliner I would be happy.

[@IvoryCherry]

thank you so much! my biggest pet peeve is when people take too long to get to the point so I try really hard not to do that! and even if i do I always include time stamps so people can skip that part :)

[@lissie1279]

My first time watching, loved it so much, thank you and subscribing now!

[@sarahmartin766]

I recently got this and am really surprised how good it looks. Definitely no worse than most liquids as far as settling into wrinkles/lines. Only thing I've noticed is the lightest color does have a little too much of a pink hue to it. I may get a different shade to mix and even that out.😊

[@IvoryCherry]

yea the shade I use in this video is a little too tan for me as well so i think the next time I repurchase I'll pick the next shade down!

[@michellecaudill7936]

I picked this up on a kit which came With first bloom eyeshadow quad, Fifty kisses liquid lip, and a Laura geller Retractable powder brush. I am some good brushes natural hair but I found this Laura Geller retractable powder brush actually applied at the best I am 62 with normal skin and I do take really good care of my skin and I use good moisturizers but this brush applied it well and I actually did not need concealer so I don’t know if this brush is meant to apply it and why I got a better job in the winter my skin does lean dryer but I found this to be very creamy non-trying and Ike got a definite medium coverage. For concealer I just would not push the brush out all the way so it was denser therefore I got more of a coverage but I actually got it to cover one of my dark spots it was by using a tapping motion. I am a big fan of this foundation and I’d don’t like powder foundations they tend to look dry on my skin so I was surprised I’m really curious to try the balance in Brighton but I’m glad I watched a review thank you oh I tried this with a bareMinerals kabuki brush and I still was able to get a medium to full coverage and I’m not a full coverage kind of gal and I tried it with a reference powder brush that I got exceptional buffing in first time it was amazing so I think with a fluffy powder brush this applies the best and buffing it really into the skin was how I was able to get the coverage if I needed more coverage like I said in a specific area using a denser brush with tapping motions I was able to achieve that. Try checking out your T.J max, marshals or Ross and you may be able to find a kit and give it a try.

[@IvoryCherry]

yes powder foundations make me look dry too and I'm so glad you had a good experience with this foundation! thank you for the tip!!

[@kristinastoico7422]

GIRL - your skin is looking amazing! What are you doing?!

[@IvoryCherry]

omg thank you for noticing!! I recently switched to a new acne med from my dermatologist along with tretoin cream and it's been super helpful!!

[@okashi10]

I saw that people were talking about this foundation again and the first thing I thought was "I wonder if Ivory has reviewed this?" And lo and behold!! Thank you!! The reviews by you and Saaamage are the only foundation reviews I trust since you actually show your skin, have yellow-toned Asian skin, and do long wear tests.

[@patpatmoomoo5524]

Thanks for this review. I will definitely get the medium golden.

[@cteacher4080]

Great review! I love that you shared the results with the different application methods. I used this foundation years ago and just repurchased today to try it out again. Thank you 😊

you are so welcome!! so glad I helped you rediscover this one it's so good!

[@nekolaleonguerrero5807]

I like the non primer side. I've seen this foundation for over a decade but never got it because of my acne... My face is easy better now but I still have some issues sometimes.... Thanks for the review!!!!! Hope your skin clears up 🌹

[@MzToniGenea7]

I thought I was the only one who wasn't pleased with the application of this foundation with a brush. I broke one of mines and I store it in a crystal container and use the Laura Mercier puff. Great review.

[@IvoryCherry]

yea using a brush gives me such little coverage, and I would have to dig SO hard into the pan. the puff is deff the way to go!

[@angelaconte5683]

Glad it worked out for you! We’ll see how it is with my dry skin but thought it looked really nice on you and glad to hear it can be light-ish coverage too!

Fingers crossed it works on you too!

[@beacarr9652]

Super review!!! What shade worked best for your skintone? Thx!

[@IvoryCherry]

I would say the shade below this one would probably be better! this one is just a little too dark for me

[@munmunwinchester]

Love tis smokey eyes!! Your reviews is always enjoyable to watched as usual. Xoxo

[@IvoryCherry]

Thanks love! ❤️💖

[@Nick-uk3wg]

This looked so good on you for a light-med coverage. It didn’t look very makeup-y which seems awesome! Color wise it seemed like a great color match (maybe because of the SPF whitening)?

[@IvoryCherry]

I think it's the heavy eye look it makes it look not as off but if I do no eye makeup it does look just SLIGHTLY too dark. But I agree the match is still pretty dang good!

Ive used LG foundation for over 10 yrs...its my favorite. I apply with their kabuki brush first in circular motion then pat it on with the brush. Its pricey...but lasts a lot. QVC sells the large pans..and they last forever.

[@IvoryCherry]

Yess the price it steep but definitely worth it!

So do you still use the LG and if so do you use under your eyes? I’m looking for a one and done. Do I need a primer ?

@@pnevlud yes..I use her spackle primer as well..I use the lighter swirlfromthe compact for under eye..or just as usual for entire face. She does have an eye spackle with some tint to it...not sure if its been discontinued.

@@LunaMama13 I ordered the fair for my light skin because I don’t have warm undertones. I didn’t get the spackle tho. I have several primers I can try. I have the new elf putty liquid one maybe that will work. I’m definitely going to try it under my eyes as a one and done. I don’t really need them to be brighter at my age just one even page 😂. Do you use a smaller brush when you grab the lighter shade for your eyes?

[@LunaMama13]

@@pnevlud i use one medium face brush for whole face. If you want to single out the lighter shade a smaller brush would work. Im sure any primer would work too. Hope it works for you as it has for me.

So excited for this! I love laura geller! But I can never find it in any stores. Where did you purchase it from? Is this a new release?

Going to need to purchase this now!

[@veronicatheedoll66]

Yes it is Matt and it blends very well

[@missjoasia123]

@@IvoryCherry they have two versions of bronzer , the sparkle and the matte

[@missjoasia123]

I feel like the colors with this one it’s safe to go one shade lighter cuz these colors like pigments adjust to your skin tone. It’s interesting. My mom uses fair and based on the models I wanted to order light or medium for me but I used my moms makeup in fair that’s how I came to actually want to buy this for myself and I can pull of fair even tho I look more like the light or medium model in the pictures. The shades adjust. The foundation is lighter on my mom and darker on me even tho I’m like more tan than my mom. I ordered light and fair for myself assuming I can use the light when I am even more tan in the summer or mix the two of I need to. I think the color looks very good on you btw. I just bring it all the way down my neck and it looks perfect every time. This foundation for me look just like skin. Thank you for your thorough review especially about the tools to use because I didn’t realize that a puff would get more coverage! Great tips!

I really like this foundation on you! I love the lighter coverage on your skin, allowing your imperfections to come through, I think it looks really pretty 💕 I wonder if you might eke more coverage out of it if you used a slightly damp brush? It's a trick I know works with loose powder foundations, but I don't remember if I tried it with this one when I had it. Thanks, now you got me interested in getting this again :P if you do end up loving it you can get packs of two from QVC for $44 😁 still not cheap, but helps to lessen the price a bit!

[@IvoryCherry]

When I got it in the Laura geller site it was 40% off so they definitely have some good sales every so often!
