Laura Geller Baked Foundation Review & Wear Test

[@LadyDoc]

I’ve used this for 20+ years and no matter what else I try, I always come back to this. Swirling it in looks the best.

[@donna2753]

This is the only foundation I have used for years and it is THE best! I always use a Primer. I use the Laura Gellar Spackle and feel it works the best. Also yes as others have mentioned, you need to buff not stamp.

[@janellrenee984]

Really?! Gosh. I hate mine. It's so patchy. Hmm don't know why

[@Inismoon]

​@@janellrenee984Many years ago felt the same way now it's my favorite! 🥰

[@MegJenkins421]

I’ve used this for years, definitely try buffing instead of stamping.

[@teresawilliams1201]

100% agree!

[@KimBluestein-ec9vv]

I agree also, this is my favorite!! Love it!! I’ve never heard anyone complain about this foundation.

[@Jrsun4ever]

Yes I’ve used it too. Should swipe for sure not stamp.

[@cheriyost2780]

Same here and I agree!

[@nancywillis2883]

Tried it, it didn’t work for me. It was too dry & did not look youthful at all. I was disappointed.

[@andresfamily3560]

I get a solid medium coverage out of this and it lasts ALL day. I swirl the brush into the powder then stamp it on and then buff in a circular motion. Blends into my skin beautifully. I also use her baked blush which is gorgeous and lasts all day too. I’m 53 with dry skin.

[@PolishedAfterSixtyYvette]

When I’ve watched Laura Geller apply this foundation, she buffs it into the skin. Thanks for sharing this foundation.😊🙏🏻

[@doesnotFempute]

i just watched a video where she says "you want to press, not swipe," so maybe we're having a mandela moment over here

[@dthomas3687]

Website directions say to use brush to press it into skin.

[@LisaG986]

My mum has worn and sworn by this for years. I believe you are meant to buff it into the skin like you do with Bare Minerals

[@delirium64]

Yeah, the review would be more effective if the product was used correctly.

[@mfox1999]

I use itn too, I reapply after 3 hours and it’s good

[@tburbank1]

I use it and love it!

[@rml1988]

I just watched a youtube video with Laura Geller applying it and she mentions to use it this same way for more coverage…

[@dthomas3687]

I see comments about how she should learn to apply it, yet on the site it's said you're to "press it in to your skin" with a brush.

[@jodisneyfan4758]

I use this foundation about 80% of time, rest of time is liquid. I agree with everyone else, you need to buff it on in circles (not stamp). I use a powder concealer as well. And I use her primer ‘spackle’ with it & it stays on great & long wearing for me, which I love 💕

[@halloweenbarbara]

I agree it looks a bit dark. Now that I’ve seen it on you I will for sure pick porcelain. Thanks for testing it!

[@jessg.829]

I use the porcelain and it's a perfect match for my fair skin!

[@mbigga01]

I am 56 with oily skin, and I love LG’s powder foundation!!

[@megg5774]

I love this foundation and find it super easy and quick to apply, at 48 I wasn’t sure if it would settle in lines but it doesn’t, even my 72 year old mom loves it

[@hollybrandt7382]

Thankyou

[@deniseo2268]

I started using her entire line in November, my makeup looks flawless and I’ve received many compliments!! Love love !

[@sarahgrey5953]

I’ve used Laura Gellar baked foundation for years and it’s lovely!!

[@faithbringshope]

2 b honest ur skin is absolutely beautiful without makeup. Even better. U have a natural youthful glow and the perfect amount of rosiness in ur cheeks. If oil is an issue I would just use some kind of blotting sheets throughout the day cuz ur natural skin is so much nicer.

[@louisedalling8664]

I found using a dry beauty blender to pat the foundation on works much better than a brush. The brush made it too sheer on my skin, although I do use a brush at the end to dust off any excess. I don’t know if this really does much but it feels like it does!

[@irishfrenchgirl1]

I’ve been using this for years and swear by it!

[@thisproagestyle]

Ive used this on and off for years. Always buffed it in.

[@theresashay2088]

Thank you so much for doing this video! I've been dying to see someone do a video on this beautiful foundation! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS STUFF! I was just curious to know what others thought about it!

[@JaxDianne]

Yeah this is what I use for no-time days so I don’t agree with it taking longer than liquids but I buff it on instead of stamping.

[@vtcs1963]

This is my favorite foundation and I have tried all the fancy ones. I buy them, hate them, give them to my sister, and go back to this one. I am 60 but I have very clear unlined skin.

[@elizabeth4053]

I’m yelling at the screen. Dude when you buffed it on your neck, how did you not notice how good it looked vs the stamp it on?

[@wendyswanson8435]

Used this for years , have different colours and finishes and love the blushes and highlighters too

[@crissy1914]

You look even more beautiful without any face makeup you even have natural blush. You’re skin is beautiful.

[@jenmayfield9474]

This is my daily go to....I use velour puff to apply, much better than a brush

[@chandrafoster8577]

I love your videos and have found them to be very beneficial. I have made many makeup purchases just because of them. With that being said I do miss your longer more in-depth videos. I know that there are some people who prefer shorter videos but I’m not one. I guess to each their own. Haha. Anyway please bring the longer videos back.

[@PJ-wu8wq]

I would love to see you do an update with this Balance and Brighten using the brush in a brushing motion instead of stippling it on. I think you'll get better coverage without having to keep trying to add more. Check out how Laura Geller says to apply it. Just a thought from one of your loooong time suscribers! =)

[@JanisLady3006]

I think if you try to apply It with circular movement It will work better on the skin... I do that and it's perfect

[@BarbItalia]

LOVE her Baked Blushes and especially the Baked Bronzer!

[@dianeclerico1624]

Your suppose to buff it in and she has a cute stanted brush that works great.

[@LaceyNatasha41]

Yeah buffing it instead of stamping it probably will work out better, bc the way you applied it was as if you were using a liquid or a mouse foundation. I'm going to give it a go bc it looks beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

[@melynnjones6286]

I agree that the fair shade looks orange. I wish they would fix that. I usually just get the porcelain shade and warm it up with bronzer. Love this foundation though, I get so many compliments and is my everyday foundation

[@djm02191]

Great tip to match up using bronzer, could use a very light bronzer on top/all over to have clean even canvas 😮❤

[@djm02191]

Or buy two porcelain and a darker shade when on sale in shop app for $12 each ❤❤❤ that’s why I came here to read comments! I just bough pressed Laura Mercier tho lol I’m not due yet bc I still have 25 barely touched powders powder foundations amongst liquad and creme lol ridiculous but I e always wanted to try this for my all over the place skin tone but usually works well with products essy great results with good product just 40 now skin changing I can’t keep up lol

[@newchannelcalledtrimmyframe]

I love Laura Geller. I've worn for years! I ended up having to mix two colors together to try to match my olive skin tone with gray and green undertones. All of the colors oxidize and turn a yellow or orange on my skin. Unfortunately, because it's my favorite! I've been in touch with the company several times to let them know they need a color that's for all of skin tones and does not oxidize. They have been responsive. Just hoping they come through! You look beautiful. Have a great day!

[@paularockwell429]

While I like the balancing Laura Geller, I prefer the standard one that is more matte. It doesn’t oxidize like the baked does, and with primer and setting spray it sits really well and wears all day. I also use a fluffier brush to be a lighter even coverage rather than patting in.

[@helenalovelock1030]

What is this one called ? Is it a powder one ? They are all baked the powder ones ?

[@doloreslivoti3436]

Hi there, I loved your video and I just wanted to share some tips. I wear this foundation and I love it … as others mentioned, it’s best if you buff it into your skin and then you can press or stipple it on the areas you need more coverage, also finishing with a setting spray really locks it in. Another tip… if you have the LG retractable brush, you can load some foundation on it, put the cover on it and you have the perfect travel touch up with you Incase you need it! But honestly I think using a primer and the setting spray will do the trick. Hope these tips help! Have a Great Day!🌻😎 💕Dee

[@melindaleimone7772]

What a great tip

[@sherinash4892]

GREAT idea!

[@LaceyNatasha41]

I think it's looks really nice and I've been wanting to give this a try now I think I will!! Thanks for the review!!

[@melindaleimone7772]

Baked balance and glow is my go to. Favorite out of the formulas

[@LilMissBusy5211]

I’m glad I found this video! I just received my order and when I put it on, I didn’t see any difference on my skin. I will try your techniques and see if I can get some results

[@jasminacevedo5254]

It looks really nice on you. I like her products a lot

[@janiceg7661]

The problem i had was the colors, fair v light, when i wear i get asked if i got some sun. Very annoying the oxidation.

[@lisagreenway8410]

I used to follow you years ago and loved your videos so I am chuffed I’ve found you again :)

[@KimberlyOnnen]

I like to use a little of the LG Double Take powder foundation on my red areas of my face and hen go over that and everywhere else with the Balance and Brighten. I typically don’t use a primer. I feel like I can do a full face of makeup in about 10 minutes.

[@alilahowens9674]

I think you should have gone with a lighter color. I have similar coloring to you and got the porcelain shade. I really like this

[@shaleiigavesti4601]

I've been using this for a few years now. Very happy with it and I do use a primer. It all works ❤ luv her marble lipstick too!

[@karenhalladay6809]

I live in the UK and I love Laura galler make I get mine from qvc Laura galler spackle primer is good you need to buffer it in xx

[@kimjones1409]

I think it is buildable to medium coverage. It gives more coverage when applied with a beauty blender. However it does need a one time touch up in the day and it works better with a primer. I love it’s skin like natural finish. I don’t think it is good for special occasions but it’s great for everyday wear.

[@sandeepettit696]

I love this Foundation also. I'm 68 years old, and it gives me a good coverage. I use Bare Minerals also use the it CC cream, and I'm loving the th Purbel cream.

[@robyn874]

It’s a brilliant product, stamp then buff. Laura G has a tinted primers that are very hydrating; you can touch up during the day. There’s also a glowing baked powder, her blushes are also great. Can you tell I’m a fan?

[@anitaknight3915]

I just purchased her tinted moisturizers and loving them!then!! Very hydrating. I purchased balance brighten top but I like the tinted moisturizers instead of foundation now.

[@Michimarie16]

I absolutely this product. It's so quick and easy for everyday. Now I've found that tapping it I first then buffing to finish is what works. I wish there was a color that was more neutral in between the porcelain and light. I tap on the light and buff over with porcelain. Now the this foundation is very finicky with skincare and even finishing powders. The LG spackle primer is fantastic. Her baked blushes and Bronzer are fanatic. I looove LG

[@hellsbells8689]

I use a mix of Fair and Porcelain. I remember when Medium was the only shade it came in and how happy I was that a Light version had come out. Not knowing it would still be too dark for my ultra pale skin.

[@Michimarie16]

@@hellsbells8689 I wish the color spectrum was more accurate.

[@anitaknight3915]

​@@hellsbells8689yeah I just purchased and I'm noticing there isn't the best color match as claimed. They often say medium is universal. I got light and sometimes it still looks bit darker than shade match says.

[@hellsbells8689]

@@anitaknight3915 I use a mix of Porcelain and the next shade up, Fair.

[@anitaknight3915]

@@hellsbells8689 thanks for the tip. I was thinking that too I may have to mix with a lighter shade.

[@marisolarce7226]

I use and love this foundation. But what I want to know is what mascara are you using?

[@LadyDoc]

I’ve been using LG for years. I try other things but I always come back.

[@pixiebear1981]

This is a holy grail product for me. Rather than pressing the product in I find it's better to buff it in.

[@deniselanglois6193]

I think it looks orange - but I really like your lipstick - what kind is it? Thanks

[@pnevlud]

I am light skinned and neutral/cool undertones. I got the fair and it was too dark and it oxidized immediately. Waiting for the porcelain to come in. I noticed it looks glittery. 🤦‍♀️ I have spent so much money on products lately and just can’t seem to hit it right

[@smbarone2000]

I love tinted moisturizers. My most favorite that I return to is Tarte Amazonian Clay with spf in ivory. I also like the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Perfector 4-In-1 Glow Makeup for every day. Johnny Ross recommended this one in a video about bridal makeup. I purchased this baked balance-n-brighten foundation because the site has 50-75% off sales for the holidays. I think with shipping I paid $26.

[@lynnd7716]

I love this stuff. I think it’s much faster than liquid too

[@rlpstudiospiano]

I got fair as well..... But it's orange on me too! It does last me ALL day and i love the light coverage but it's not the right color for me. I want to try again with porcelain.

[@LindsayDavis-s2h]

Thank you for saying it's oxidizing on the skin! I've always felt it appeared like a bronzer or contour on me even when it's shade matched. Why does this happen?

[@wendio5437]

This is the only make-up that I wear now that I’m over 50. There is nothing in the drug store that doesn’t look terrible within 2 minutes. I’m sure there are other brands that make good makeup for mature skin, this happens to be the only one I have bought. I was happy with how it looks. I don’t wear makeup very often, as I work from home and don’t go out much (and I don’t care that much anymore either), but I do use it for special occasions.

[@judyfluck1346]

I habe used Mary kay for 28 years and swear by it. I use their time wisely repair skin care and the foundation. I saw this advertised so I'm curious about it

[@surgicaltechcrafter2169]

I am 52, minimal pores, minimal wrinkles and Dry skin. I do not wear makeup because everything feels suffocating, heavy, or drying. This is no different for me. Very heavy powder feel after applying, I have tried to spray Mac fix plus and can't wear it for long.

[@susanq6398]

I’ve been wearing powder foundation for years now. I’m dying to try the Laura Geller one. Currently using Ester Lauder doublewear powder.

[@tonyaweaver483]

I don’t care for powder foundation, but her baked blush is awesome I love it

[@vnokesCO]

I use either a powder foundation then a damp beauty blender to set it or I mix liquid into my moisturizer (51 with mostly normal but sometimes combo skin). If I use a primer it's one to blur pores, since I have a lot of enlarged pores. I'll also use a setting spray.

[@nataliek3717]

If you want full coverage try Laura Geller Double Take Full Coverage Powder Foundation!! It's gorgeous!!!

[@rachelleledoux808]

I like applying this with the Rose and Ben blush brush for faster fuller coverage. Also the Laura Geller brush is awesome to take for touch ups

[@debbyritchie2608]

Sorry Milabu, your application was wrong. Your suppose to buff and sweep it onto your skin. Watch her instructions. It will turn out completely different. 😘

[@judithcatlett8518]

I was trying not to yell at the screen. You’re suppose to use circular motions, anyway that’s how I apply mine. I love it.

[@memim6621]

I have this foundation and I absolutely love it. I'm a hard and fast GG. I think you can stamp or buff. You get a different finish depending on the application method. On my skin, buffing leaves a more satin, almost soft glow skin-like finish, whereas stamping leaves a heavier, matte-ish but blurred finish. I think Laura's products are ❤!

[@juliamuth8288]

Interesting. I was given this as a gift yeeeeears ago, but it never really worked for me and I eventually decluttered it. I’ve been seeing it around a lot lately and was thinking maybe I should give it another chance. But, your experience reminded me exactly why I didn’t like it in the first place. For me it was both too little and too much. It didn’t cover discolouration but it exaggerated my pores and skin texture. If I tried to build it up for more coverage, it got cakey. And then there was the oxidization. No thanks. I prefer a tinted moisturizer, targeted concealer and the scantest amount of translucent powder in the t-zone so my skin looks like skin.

[@vanessalawson4045]

I’ve buffed and stamped both and it made my skin look dry and crusty. I prefer a light coverage base, but this had no coverage. I do like the baked blushes from LG

[@anitaknight3915]

​@@juliamuth8288I just purchased to try. I am really loving the feel of her tinted moisturizers and concealer. I'll try different techniques with the balance n brighten. It seems like even ordering lighter colors doesn't wear as claimed.

[@MoonFairy11]

You need to buff as in buffing not stamping it. Wish you would have done some research on how to use it.

[@carolblake8527]

Thank you i was brushing just got some i will try buff it next time

[@ataylor340]

Been using this for years, love it!

[@AmaanStorm]

When you mentioned oxidisation, powder foundation ofted does oxidose, particularly when the moisturiser/oil on the skin melts the powder, which activates the pigment in the powder, so its not surprising. Also your own oils have acids in them, and the acids cause oxidisation. The primer is clearly protecting the powder from the acids in the oils as it from as it acts as a barrier between the foundation and the sebum/oil. The foundation looks great though. I would want to try it.

[@nehifamily]

This is my daily wear. I put it over a tinted moisturizer instead of a primer. I have dry mature skin, though, with no need for real coverage. Longevity isn’t there but a light swipe with some powder to touch up if needed isn’t really an inconvenience for me.

[@surgicaltechcrafter2169]

I never thought to try over a tinted moisturizer. Going to give it a go.

[@jenniferakin7203]

i love my lg. i have my teenage daughter using it, too

[@michellebailey6844]

I’m curious on how you feel about it oxidizing? I’m considering buying but as soon as I hear the word orange I pause! 🤣

[@soapysusie2534]

Usually prefer liquid foundation, sticks and creams seem to be too heavy and with my chronic dry skin powders are too drying

[@lenabucherati9924]

I love the Laura Geller foundation but I used it with her spackle primer and a big kaui brush in a SWEEPING MOTION.

How do you get that airbrushed cheeks. Is powder or cream blush better for a senior?

[@Opalescenttreeshark]

I much prefer this LG powder foundation now that I’ve gotten older. The closer I get to 40, the more I notice my liquid foundations sink into lines I didn’t even know I had by the end of the day. I’m combo skin and I find powder just keeps looking better and better as the day goes on- no sinking into lines and looks like a liquid. It also layers so well with cream or powder products. The old rule of “no cream product on top of powder” just doesn’t apply with this one.

[@michelecedo4800]

I was wondering it you’ve reviewed the It cosmetics foundation which was created by someone with rosacea to cover it up?

[@christinea52]

I suggest that you apply it as the manufacture recommends instead of stamping, you’re supposed to swirl it on with the brush.

[@traciebrowning4187]

I need a good moisturizing primer... Can you help me? I'm a senior on a budget. Thank you sweetie.. I love watching your videos.

I use Laura Geller and the foundation looks better when you swirl the brush with the foundation on first and only dab on those areas AFTER the initial swirling on those areas you want more coverage.

[@AmyBaumgartner]

What is the name of blush brush and blush color? Pretty color

[@Gurlmom5]

When I was in my late teens and early to mid 20’s I loved a powder foundation, my skin was oily and I didn’t need a ton of coverage so powder foundation was great. Now I’m 42 and really only use moisturizing serum type foundations. I haven’t used anything powder in at least 5 years.

[@anitaknight3915]

​​@@melissareece8656same, I just ordered light and it looked kinda light orangey tones. I feel their color matches are off not as claimed. They tend to say they're forgiving and that most fit into medium. But of people buying fair and light say it's showing bit dark then? I am really loving the moisture rich tinted moisturizer.
