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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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?

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

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

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 💕

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

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!

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 ❤️❤️❤️

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

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

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!

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

Thankyou

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! =)

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.

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

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

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!

I love this foundation, I swirl it on the makeup and I always stipple it on with a flat brush. I get more coverage that way. I love the baked balance N glow the best.

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

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!!

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

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.

I love all her products!!

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.

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

I love this powder foundation!

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!

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

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!

I just ordered in light can’t wait to try it

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

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

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

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

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

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

Great review. Thanks. ❤

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.

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.

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?

I’m so glad you did a review on this foundation! I just bought this recently. It feels light. Definitely a lighter coverage.

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. 😘

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 ❤!

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.

Thank u for an honest thorough review, I knee when I saw you reviewing it, I would get an honest review

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

Been using this for years, love it!

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

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

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

You re amazing out foundation. Looks stunning with the lg. I cant afford anything nuch so have gone back to using noisturiser then primer then Nivea tinted moisturiser then a v light covering of a copy of bare minerls original foundation. My skin hs always been open pores and totally imperfect but enjoy the light airy effect

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.

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

Love it use mostly all the time

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.

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

Looks pretty on you. Went way to orange on me but I have lots of red undertone to my skin. 💞

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.

Liquid foundation is my jam!

My favorite powder 🥰

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

Glad I found your channel! What brown eye liner are you waring ?

What mascara are you using here? Please link the other HD baked Foundation you mentioned too. Lastly, we have the same coloring so I’d love a recommendation for a beautiful red lipstick, gloss, etc. Thank you!

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

I love the pur powder foundation.

Love your under eye concealer, can you share brand and shade pls?

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

Looks beautiful on mature skin ,but You did not apply correct way, buffing technique like LG showing oh her website!

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

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?

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

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.

What mascara are you wearing? Everything looks very pretty!

Buff! Large brush with this and all powder foundations. Looks most skin like. No need for dense brush.

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.

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.

Hello. Do you have a drugstore recommendation? Thank you❤

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.

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

Never clicked so fast ❤

Please tell me about your lashes! They are beautiful!

This is suppose to be buffed into the skin. Have used this for several years.

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

What do you use to make your under eye bright?

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

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.

Swirl tap buff it in. I have found the one with spf oxidises and goes to orange ( I have fair skin- cool to neutral tone) but the one without spf is OK. A good handbag standby but doesn't always last all day.

It's so orange looking. I was going to order the starter set. I won't waste my money now.

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.
