If you use a small, compact brush, it will cover your blemish. The level of coverage depends on which type and density of brush you use. And yes, you buff it into the skin. Mine lasts all day. As far as I'm aware, Laura was the person who invented baked products. It starts off as a cream placed on a terracotta disc (which you will see when you hit pan), and is then baked by an artisanal producer in Italy, for 24 hours, then is buffed by hand before being placed in the compact. I use fair, light and porcelain (mostly porcelain) depending on the time of the year. Each shade covers six shades of skin. She also invented the very first primer, for use on Audrey Hepburn. Laura was a make up artist for the film industry, and she wanted something that would make everything last longer, so created her primer, Spackle, and hey ho, now everyone makes primers. It comes in a few different shades now.
Carol, thank you so very much for sharing my background so eloquently brought sound like you’re a true “Geller Gal” I’m very grateful for your loyalty and your kind words❤️
I'm older (62 yo) and have been using these products for years. The B&B always looks great on my skin and doesn't settle into my lines or pores. I have rosacea and a little hyperpigmentation. It never irritates my skin and as others have noted can be used with a smaller brush as a spot concealer. The last blush I purchased was Sunlit Rose. I am also a blush girl and it is a fantastic color for my skin tone!! (As a reference my LG B&B shade is Fair.) In reading the comments I see a lot of your viewers specifically mentioned traveling and vacations, and I have a tip. I always keep 2 of the cotton makeup rounds directly on top of the product before closing the lid. Because these are baked they can break pretty easily if dropped. The rounds add a little bit of cushioning and stabilize the pan. Works like a charm! I also put a little dab on the round so it shows through the window on the lid which makes it easy to quickly see which product is which. 😊 I hope you continue to enjoy these products as much as I do!
I love Laura Geller - she was one of the first to introduce makeup primer (her ‘Spackle’), and her baked powders are amazing. Her blushes are top notch, and her eyeliners (specifically the Eye Kajals, but all are great) are the longest lasting I have ever used! She makes a ‘glowy’ version of her foundation called Balance & Glow, if you want a slightly more luminous finish.
Hey beautiful hope that you and everyone watching is having an amazing day 💞💕 Like I've said before I'm a 54 yr old black woman that clicks immediately when you upload you're such a breath of fresh air 💞💕 IT LOOKS AMAZING
It made me so happy to see you review Laura Geller!!! I have been using her products for years and I've always thought she did not get enough love on YT. I am 60 and have EXTREMELY textured skin. I rely exclusively on mineral foundations because all liquids settle into my pores and scars. I find I get the best coverage from Mary Kaye's mineral foundation, but the Laura Geller blushes are the prettiest on the market!!
Laura Geller is an icon. I always take this foundation on vacation. It’s fast and easy. Her lipsticks and eye products are amazing too! Do another video with more Laura geller. ! Thanks Allie. 😊
Yes ! I always take it on vacation! That's why I initially got it, was for a camping trip because I thought it would be super easy to apply in the woods lol!
I used to watch so many beauty channels but now I only watch yours. I truly appreciate how focused on the subject you are; no drama, no gossip, you are protective of your privacy by keeping your personal life talk to a minimum, your content is all about techniques and products. Even your background is clean and therefore perfect for directing the attention to where you want the focus to be. I always learn so much from you. Thank you.
Evie F, You might prefer Wayne Goss, Shelby Wilson, & Lisa Eldridge if you want technique and that's it. Many viewers enjoy "getting to know" the youtuber, hence a little glimpse to their personality is what keeps viewers coming back.
This has got to be unquestionably the best daytime everyday look I've ever seen in my life. Like this look with those products doing that on your skin makes me want to splurge to buy it ... I could literally wear that everyday! Thank you for showing us this fantastic look Allie!
Hello, I have used LG makeup for at least 10 years and I just love it! I bought it from QVC and back then, I purchased the regular shade, but now it's called medium. She started adding new shades after that. I also love the brow products and blushes. I use the color called apricot berry and it is beautiful. I love the foundation because it is so easy to use and it is great for summer and also for every day wear. I am glad you tried it, you're skin looks great! 💕🥰
Laura Geller has been around for over 25 years . She is humble I’ve seen her on Qvc she was once in Sephora . They are really good products just not TRENDY as they say but I still love her products . Glad you enjoyed them .
I’ve been using this foundation for the last year. I LOVE it. It works really well on my oily skin. I use it with a pore filling primer and it looks flawless. It’s also faster than liquid for me.
This has been my go-to "quick" foundation for years! LG's baked products are so good. As others said, QVC has the best deals for Laura Geller products!
Love Laura Geller! Have used her products for 10 years. The blushes are beautiful as well as the bronzers. The baked formula is super light. It looked beautiful on you Allie!
I’ve used Laura Gellar for years, my everyday makeup. The blush Pink grapefruit is great, you should try it. I have light skin like you and it gives such a beautiful sun-like glow. 🌟
I’ve been wearing pink grapefruit for years! Laura’s first product on QVC, probably back in the late 90s, was the lambs wool paddle blender. I started with that and over the years have bought a lot of Spackle, and a lot of powder products. Still using them regularly.
I'm glad you also love powder foundations. A lot of RUclipsrs seem to be going with the powder-free trend and I'm just not about that life. I just can't. I agree, powder foundations really do melt into the skin and looks way more natural than people think!
The only powder foundation I’ve used before is the Make Up For Ever one but I’ve never heard of a baked powder foundation before 🤯 I absolutely HAVE to try this out now
Oh man what a throwback! I first encountered the balance and brighten powders about 10 years ago and they were lovely then, but at the time they only had 3 shades available! Glad to see they’ve launched a lot more, because it really does look lovely on the skin
I haven’t heard that many talk about Laura Geller products in a while! Her brand was struggling for a bit before, and her brand left Ulta. But my mom loves the foundation and has been using it for years!
I was crushed when I heard LG was filing for bankruptcy & then Ulta quit carrying the line. I discovered the LG B&B powder foundation many years ago on an impulse buy during 21 Days of Beauty. It’s my holy grail powder foundation that works well on my dry, sensitive skin (I prefer the coverage I get with a sponge). Hoping Ulta will start selling it again now that it’s getting the attention it deserves. I was literally googling this last week before I’d ever seen it popping up in vids bc I need a fresh one. It’s a great foundation for all ages & skin types IMO.
Check out Laura's other highlighter shades. Vanilla, I think is the name of her most popular. QVC has full range of products. And try her Spackle primer for smoothing pores.
I feel like this would be a good foundation to wear with just an undereye corrector underneath! Especially if someone has quite dark undereyes but still wants an easy and natural look
I’ve used LG for years and love the ease, product life & price points. However the baked items contain Talc which irritates some and/or is an objectionable ingredient. Her products last Forever 💕. Try the pressed foundation with glow to add dimension. The baked bronzer is The Best.
I am sure this sounds funny, but I love when Allie adds emojis to the title of her videos. It kind of gives me an idea how she feels about the products.
What type of skin do you have? Mine is pretty oily, so wondering how this would hold up. I love the ease of powder foundation, but have yet to find one I love that covers well, but looks pretty natural and doesn't get too shiny.
I've been wearing Laura Geller for over 10 years. She also has beautiful baked eyeshadows. I have a drawer dedicated to her blushes, eyeshadows and lipsticks. I'm obviously obsessed 💗💗
Yes! I have been wearing that LG baked foundation for years! It also looks really good in photos, I swear I look airbrushed in pictures because of this powder. I’m currently wearing it over Colourpop Pretty Fresh Foundation for a more full coverage, but still natural look.
This has been my holy grail “powder” foundation for years! Like 15+ years! It’s the only foundation I’ve repurchased many times!! It looks so good on you. Her bronzer and blushes are one of the best too!!
This is my all-time favorite foundation - I’ve used it for years and keep coming back to it.... nothing compares. They sell the large sized one on QVC and it sells out in seconds every single time.
I’ve been wearing this foundation for years. My holy grail! When I’m in a rush I just swirl and go! Covers everything! Looks beautiful on your skin Allie ♥️
I’ve been loving Laura Geller’s blushes for aaaaages. I would definitely recommend you try some of the other shades; they’re some of my favorites in my blush collection.
@@janfromseattle They're so beautiful! I have Tropic Hues, Fruit Punch (both of which I love for the summer), and Maui. Though of those, it sadly looks like only Tropic Hues is still part of the collection. But of course, just talking about them is making me want more shades hahaha
@@darkchocolate8654 Ulta carries a lot of the Laura Geller line! If you can, go in-store to at least see them (though I know Ulta isn't allowing swatches of any products right now).
@@SopranoGonzalez714 Laura Geller hasn't been available at Ulta for a couple years, at least. I think it's sold at Kohl's now from what other people are saying. Also, on QVC.
love love this foundation! and I am a retired makeup artist ...love that it's cruelty free as well, if you need more pinpoint coverage, use a concealer brush to apply...but this gives gorgeous,glow and evens skin tone, lasts and feels light, love it, and her blushes, bronzers
I've used B-N-B for years and when I stray I always come back. Then I wonder why I even strayed, by far it is my favorite foundation. It makes my skin look alive and not flat like all other powder foundations. However all her other products are a little to shimmery for me with the exception of some of her baked shadows. QVC is running a 2 for 1 right now including her brush.
I am not a QVC watcher, I discovered Laura Geller one year when Ulta had her Baked and Brighten blushes on their 21 days of beauty sale. I bought two and instantly fell in love with them. When Ulta discontinued Laura Geller, her products started showing up in Marshall’s and TJ Max, I bought more blushes and an eye shadow pallet and love them all. I just recently started using the powder foundation in Fair, I have always been a liquid foundation person in the past but boy I am loving it, so fast and easy and it doesn’t settle into my fine lines and wrinkles.
Laura Geller makes the absolute best baked blushes! Pink Buttercream is gorgeous. You won't believe how beautiful this color is. Been using it for years. Try her highlighters too. Stunning!
Laura Geller products have been around for years. I think I remember hearing they had to file chapter 11 and working to reorganize the company. I know her products are sold on QVC where you can get the greatest deals. I'm so glad to see you reviewing an older brand!!❤️
I’ve used this foundation for more than 15 years and LOVE it! I’ve tried other liquid foundations and always go back to this. I also use the baked bronze and brighten and I only use her baked blushes! LG is my favorite makeup line!
I became a fan of hers when she was on QVC- the only issue I ever had was that her eyeshadows were not as pigmented as I’d hoped they would be. The baked bronzer is amazing as well.
I LOVE that balance and brighten foundation! It definitely deserves to be talked about more! I got it several years ago for a camping trip because I wanted something that was easy to apply while bein out in the woods lol. I saw wayne goss do a review on it at the time n was like omg this will be perfect! And omg it really was, absolutely perfect. Glad u tried it!
Been using this for years. I use it to add a bit more coverage to my tinted moisturizers. Blushes are great too. Check out pink buttercream or maybe tropic hue
If I'm not mistaken, Taylor Wynn used to use this as a setting powder (she usually likes powders with coverage to set her foundation) sounds so good. I also like the look of baked powders on the skin
I got mine this week, too, and I ordered 2 shades & blended them. As a 60+ woman, I am shocked at how great it looks on my skin!! It is SO much easier than liquid foundation, and with the hot weather we’ve had this week, I didn’t feel like I had a heavy feeling on my face. I am so happy to have found it! I am actually picking up some more products with her 40% off sale. So glad we found this at the same time & had similar experiences 😊
i found out about this foundation from taylor wynn for setting foundation it gives such a natural finish without looking too matte!! a holy grail powder for me for sure. so underrated
This makes me SO SO happy!! Laura Gellar's baked products are fantastic!! The bronzers and the all over body frosting are amazing! Her highlights are out of this world!! French Vanilla is her most famous....she calls is a low glow highlighter bc there is no glitter or shimmer at all. Her blushes, she is known for as well, every blush has 6 pigments, so it is never flat, the color has its highs and lows. Her best selling shade is pink buttercream. She is always on QVC, and I love watching her bc she teaches how to use her products the way they were designed to do. Qvc, has a lot of her best selling products in super sizes so that bronzer is sold in a huge compact at a great deal. Love all your videos so so much! Xo
I have been considering getting this foundation for quite a while and haven’t yet… this is making me want to go ahead and get it! It looks so beautiful! The only LG product that I have tried is her blush in the shade Tropic Hues… it is gorgeous and I think you would love it! Thank you for doing this!
Been using both balance and brighten and balance and glow for years 🥰 Her primer (called Spackle) and her blushers are AMAZING😀❤️ and her eyeshadows aswell. She does the baked thing best of them all!
You look very natural and beautiful as usual. I have been using all of the products you mentioned for years. Absolutely love Laura Geller products. Her lipsticks are divine. ❤️
I've used it on and off for years! It's great during the summer for a natural look and your makeup won't melt off. The blushes are great too.🥰😍I love it even more now that I saw you using it. You look great!!
I do like how this looks. I think I'm going to pick this up. I own a few palettes from Laura Gellar & I've always liked what I've used. This is very intriguing 🤔. Looks great on your skin Allie!
I’m floored at how much coverage you were able to get and how sun-kissed and natural the finish looked! OMG how amazing would the Milani baked blush would look here too! And with Jaclyn’s blush toppers!!!!! 😍 🤩 Too much? Hmmm.... NOPE! 🤣
Love Laura Geller's products, her blushes are fabulous and her lipstick formulas are so good! The spackle primer is sooo good too! I don't think she gets enough hype, I'm so glad you gave her products a try. I have been scared to try the foundation only because I don't do well with powders but I might try this one.
It looks SO deep, I’m scared to try it. It is what’s in the value pack with the fair skin foundations, but it’s the one thing that makes me too scared to try.
I have been using Laura Gellar products for years. This foundation is awesome in this formula and the Balance and Glow. The bronzer is amazing as well as the blushes.
I’ve been using this foundation for years. I swear by it. I’m 66 yrs old, it never looks caky never sits in my lines and just looks like I have perfect skin. Also it lasts and lasts so is very affordable. One thing I would say is I always use my L’Oréal set and glow setting spray over the top of it and, there you are, ready for anything with perfect natural looking skin.
I used to wear this foundation all of the time and I do carry one in my purse to touch up my makeup, but I think I need to revisit it. You definitely need to try her Tropical Hues blush. It is just beautiful. It is one of the very few blushes that I have hit pan on. Love watching you Allie! You are just a breath of fresh air in this crazy world. ❤️
Mirabella is one of my favorite "unknown " makeup brands. Their powder foundation is amazing and makes me look airbrushed in photos. Been using the brand for 10 years now and nothing beats it for my skin! They have amazing cream products too.
I've watched TONS of Laura Geller vids, focusing on THE SAME PRODUCTS YOU chose for us, and YOU LOOK STUNNING! Most of her models are my age, 40-60, and say you have a starting advantage, haha, but STILL, it is SO flattering, SO simple, SO classic/timeless.... I picked the SAME SHADES as you, except for the blush I've picked pink grapefruit/pink buttercream and am about to try the sunlit rose. Others have also suggested the ethereal rose has a distinct highlighting effect... But the way you tweaked it after applying the other brand, then touched up again with the bronzer and foundation, looks so beautiful..... I loved watching in real time as you did the other cheek and we could see CLEARLY what kind of coverage you can get, while still maintaining the beautiful natural look of your own skin ... You have inspired me to play a little more with my first ever LG products that have just arrived.... The only additional products I have are the 2 in 1 bronze n blush, and the french vanilla highligher (which may be a better tone for your fair skin, than that other one you mentioned at the top of the video). GREAT JOB.... nce n simple -- but that's also often easier when you are on the younger side, lol. Thanks again.
Your application has been the most comprehensive from what I have seen on RUclips so far. With the lighting, it gives you an alabaster-like finish and just the right coverage for me. Very pretty and color is perfect for you. If you were to wear concealer, would you apply it before or after this powder foundation? Thanks for sharing.
Been using it on and off for years, mainly when I'm not going to be outdoors as there's no added sunscreen, which I like to layer when being outside. Her blush and bronzer are AMAZING too
Love that that powder. I use more like a setting powder for the outer part of my face. It is not friendly to the pore area in my opinion bc it definitely has a luminous shift to it. I also love using it as a skin color eye shadow.
LG Balance & Brighten has been my go-to foundation for years. I've probably repurchased this twenty times, at least. Works great with primer and setting spray as well. SO quick, easy, and for me, flawless.
I bought this foundation about a month ago and I love it 💜💜💜💜💜 I searched RUclips for videos of people trying it and they’re really weren’t any…so I’m so glad to see you trying it 💜💜 I have the same opinion as you!! It makes the skin look flawless and wears so beautifully!!!
I'm a new subscriber.. my jaw dropped when you said Laura Gellar balance and brighten. I have been using it for years from QVC. So natural for a guy to use and looks great over spot concealing or foundation with a setting spray. You need to do another video using it with other makeup.
I have oily skin and this foundation hold up so well for me, even during the summer. I don’t look so greasy when I use Laura Geller. It’s definitely a go-to for me.
I've just ordered her supersize bronzer, blush and highlight palette - and couldn't be more excited! I have a feeling these products will end up performing similarly to Hourglass
I just ordered this from amazon, it will be here tomorrow morning. You were still adding the blush by the time I stopped to order, so glad you liked it by the end of the video. 🤣 it just looked so good on you!
Do you trust ordering products from Amazon? How do you like it? I'm 60 with mature skin. I hate too much of a dry, powder finish. My go to is bare minerals rescue foundation. But I'm bored with it.
@@ajordan1976 Amazon let’s you return, like the makeup stores and in my location, it’s only 1-2 days to get my order. I do make sure the makeup is being sold by the brand I’m ordering from and not a third party.
Ok, got it in the mail. I’ve been having a horrible time finding a foundation recently with my sensitive skin. Been wearing this powder all day, and so good. It is just a hair too dark, but not bad. Made my redness go away, yet it doesn’t look like I’m wearing anything!!!!
OK, so I have now bought 2 of these since the video. I bought the same color as Allie, the fair shade. Same as Allie it was just a bit too tan for me, nothing too bad, just slightly. Now I have the porcelain color and it’s perfect and I use the fair color as a subtle contour! I saw a lot of reviews that the porcelain was too pink. It’s not pink it’s just lighter than the fair. Allie, please please please do a new video and get the porcelain and use the fair shade as your contour. I’m in love with this foundation!
I just started using that baked foundation too! I love it. I get so many compliments when I where it. I also just purchased the highlighter duo. It came in today. The shades are like a light champagne and a light pinkish. No shimmer in them. Just a sheen. They are beautiful!
If you use a small, compact brush, it will cover your blemish. The level of coverage depends on which type and density of brush you use. And yes, you buff it into the skin. Mine lasts all day.

Check out Laura's other highlighter shades. Vanilla, I think is the name of her most popular. QVC has full range of products. And try her Spackle primer for smoothing pores.
French vanilla. Its gorgeous.
Love the vanilla. I use as high lighter, eye primer and brow high light. Awesome products!!
The Spackle primer is one of the only primers I've ever noticed an actual difference with! I looove it!
Laura is my FAVORITE!! I have almost EVERYTHING from her!!
Please try more of her blushes they’re beautiful! Pink grapefruit is my favorite!
I love Laura Gellar's makeup. She's on qvc and I find great deals on so many things including her makeup. She's really a darling and funny person!
I feel like this would be a good foundation to wear with just an undereye corrector underneath! Especially if someone has quite dark undereyes but still wants an easy and natural look
Who loves Laura Geller’s retractable brushes? I LOVE THOSE!!! 🥰
I do!
Laura Geller is the most underrated Make up brand. Her products are phenomenal. I love her bronzers and blushes.
Oh wow, you just made my day! I’m so touched. Thank you so so much❤️
I agree ! I bought some of her brushes at TJ Max and they are hands down my favorite !
I’ve used LG for years and love the ease, product life & price points. However the baked items contain Talc which irritates some and/or is an objectionable ingredient. Her products last Forever 💕. Try the pressed foundation with glow to add dimension. The baked bronzer is The Best.
@@laurageller238 Hi Laura 💙. Thanks for all your great products and tutorials on QVC.
Are you coming back to the channel??
Agree! Love her products!!
I am sure this sounds funny, but I love when Allie adds emojis to the title of her videos. It kind of gives me an idea how she feels about the products.
What type of skin do you have? Mine is pretty oily, so wondering how this would hold up. I love the ease of powder foundation, but have yet to find one I love that covers well, but looks pretty natural and doesn't get too shiny.
I've been wearing Laura Geller for over 10 years. She also has beautiful baked eyeshadows. I have a drawer dedicated to her blushes, eyeshadows and lipsticks. I'm obviously obsessed 💗💗
Yes! I have been wearing that LG baked foundation for years! It also looks really good in photos, I swear I look airbrushed in pictures because of this powder. I’m currently wearing it over Colourpop Pretty Fresh Foundation for a more full coverage, but still natural look.
Emily Noel loves her Laura Geller products. I may need to try it now.
Τaylor Wynn also loved her powders!
I love her quench n tint hydrating foundation for days when I want a lighter coverage foundation instead of my usual full coverage foundation!
This has been my holy grail “powder” foundation for years! Like 15+ years! It’s the only foundation I’ve repurchased many times!! It looks so good on you. Her bronzer and blushes are one of the best too!!
I don’t know why people sleep on LG. She has GREAT products! I just wish she’d restock some shades in her balance and glow foundations
I wear this almost everyday! Wayne Goss just did a video about this foundation!
This is my all-time favorite foundation - I’ve used it for years and keep coming back to it.... nothing compares. They sell the large sized one on QVC and it sells out in seconds every single time.
I’ve been wearing this foundation for years. My holy grail! When I’m in a rush I just swirl and go! Covers everything! Looks beautiful on your skin Allie ♥️
I’ve been loving Laura Geller’s blushes for aaaaages. I would definitely recommend you try some of the other shades; they’re some of my favorites in my blush collection.
Aren’t her blushes incredible? Pink Grapefruit is my favorite!
@@janfromseattle They're so beautiful! I have Tropic Hues, Fruit Punch (both of which I love for the summer), and Maui. Though of those, it sadly looks like only Tropic Hues is still part of the collection. But of course, just talking about them is making me want more shades hahaha
how do you decided on the best blush color? So many look good!
@@darkchocolate8654 Ulta carries a lot of the Laura Geller line! If you can, go in-store to at least see them (though I know Ulta isn't allowing swatches of any products right now).
@@SopranoGonzalez714 Laura Geller hasn't been available at Ulta for a couple years, at least. I think it's sold at Kohl's now from what other people are saying. Also, on QVC.
love love this foundation! and I am a retired makeup artist ...love that it's cruelty free as well, if you need more pinpoint coverage, use a concealer brush to apply...but this gives gorgeous,glow and evens skin tone, lasts and feels light, love it, and her blushes, bronzers
That’s my favorite foundation! I was so upset when Ulta stopped selling Laura Gellar. So glad a beauty influencer is talking about this brand!
Ulta, please please please bring Laura Geller line back in store!
I've used B-N-B for years and when I stray I always come back. Then I wonder why I even strayed, by far it is my favorite foundation. It makes my skin look alive and not flat like all other powder foundations. However all her other products are a little to shimmery for me with the exception of some of her baked shadows. QVC is running a 2 for 1 right now including her brush.
Going to check out QVC now!!!!!
@@mememe217 If that special is over, check out LG's website, big sales going on there too.
Emily Noel introduced us to this eons . It seems to still be available at Kohl’s even with the beauty overhaul they’re having
I am not a QVC watcher, I discovered Laura Geller one year when Ulta had her Baked and Brighten blushes on their 21 days of beauty sale. I bought two and instantly fell in love with them. When Ulta discontinued Laura Geller, her products started showing up in Marshall’s and TJ Max, I bought more blushes and an eye shadow pallet and love them all. I just recently started using the powder foundation in Fair, I have always been a liquid foundation person in the past but boy I am loving it, so fast and easy and it doesn’t settle into my fine lines and wrinkles.
I truly appreciate Allie’s vibe! Such a joy to watch.
Laura Geller makes the absolute best baked blushes! Pink Buttercream is gorgeous. You won't believe how beautiful this color is. Been using it for years. Try her highlighters too. Stunning!
Laura Geller products have been around for years. I think I remember hearing they had to file chapter 11 and working to reorganize the company. I know her products are sold on QVC where you can get the greatest deals. I'm so glad to see you reviewing an older brand!!❤️
I’ve used this foundation for more than 15 years and LOVE it! I’ve tried other liquid foundations and always go back to this. I also use the baked bronze and brighten and I only use her baked blushes! LG is my favorite makeup line!
I became a fan of hers when she was on QVC- the only issue I ever had was that her eyeshadows were not as pigmented as I’d hoped they would be. The baked bronzer is amazing as well.
I LOVE that balance and brighten foundation! It definitely deserves to be talked about more! I got it several years ago for a camping trip because I wanted something that was easy to apply while bein out in the woods lol. I saw wayne goss do a review on it at the time n was like omg this will be perfect! And omg it really was, absolutely perfect. Glad u tried it!
I've seen this for years, but never tried it. She was in Ulta for a long time until within the last year or so. It looks beautiful on you.
Laura Geller’s baked foundations and bronzers are phenomenal! I’ve used them for years. And she is the queen of primer!
I love this stuff! I’ve been using it for years. I actually have three different colors and use for different things. Great product.
Been using this for years. I use it to add a bit more coverage to my tinted moisturizers. Blushes are great too. Check out pink buttercream or maybe tropic hue
This is probably the most invisible and natural looking foundation I’ve ever seen. Whoa. It’s fascinating
I’ve been in LOVE with Laura Geller baked foundation especially in the summer.
I will never use another blush ever again! Been using it for years!
If I'm not mistaken, Taylor Wynn used to use this as a setting powder (she usually likes powders with coverage to set her foundation) sounds so good. I also like the look of baked powders on the skin
I got mine this week, too, and I ordered 2 shades & blended them. As a 60+ woman, I am shocked at how great it looks on my skin!! It is SO much easier than liquid foundation, and with the hot weather we’ve had this week, I didn’t feel like I had a heavy feeling on my face. I am so happy to have found it! I am actually picking up some more products with her 40% off sale. So glad we found this at the same time & had similar experiences 😊
i found out about this foundation from taylor wynn for setting foundation it gives such a natural finish without looking too matte!! a holy grail powder for me for sure. so underrated
This makes me SO SO happy!! Laura Gellar's baked products are fantastic!! The bronzers and the all over body frosting are amazing! Her highlights are out of this world!! French Vanilla is her most famous....she calls is a low glow highlighter bc there is no glitter or shimmer at all. Her blushes, she is known for as well, every blush has 6 pigments, so it is never flat, the color has its highs and lows. Her best selling shade is pink buttercream. She is always on QVC, and I love watching her bc she teaches how to use her products the way they were designed to do. Qvc, has a lot of her best selling products in super sizes so that bronzer is sold in a huge compact at a great deal. Love all your videos so so much! Xo
What a gorgeous "run out the door"-look! Love the bronzer too. X
I have been considering getting this foundation for quite a while and haven’t yet… this is making me want to go ahead and get it! It looks so beautiful! The only LG product that I have tried is her blush in the shade Tropic Hues… it is gorgeous and I think you would love it! Thank you for doing this!
Been using both balance and brighten and balance and glow for years 🥰 Her primer (called Spackle) and her blushers are AMAZING😀❤️ and her eyeshadows aswell. She does the baked thing best of them all!
This stuff is sooo good even on older skin! So beautiful and not dry or cakey! And her blushes and bronzers are stunning!
I love Laura's products and she's a sweetheart too. 💜
You look very natural and beautiful as usual. I have been using all of the products you mentioned for years. Absolutely love Laura Geller products. Her lipsticks are divine. ❤️
I use this to set my foundation or under my eyes and especially the baked balance and glow looks fabulous under the eyes. 🥰
I've used it on and off for years! It's great during the summer for a natural look and your makeup won't melt off. The blushes are great too.🥰😍I love it even more now that I saw you using it. You look great!!
Foundations are my weakness!!! Tell me what else I need in my collection!!❤️❤️
I do like how this looks. I think I'm going to pick this up. I own a few palettes from Laura Gellar & I've always liked what I've used. This is very intriguing 🤔. Looks great on your skin Allie!
I’m floored at how much coverage you were able to get and how sun-kissed and natural the finish looked! OMG how amazing would the Milani baked blush would look here too! And with Jaclyn’s blush toppers!!!!! 😍 🤩 Too much? Hmmm.... NOPE! 🤣
Love Laura Geller's products, her blushes are fabulous and her lipstick formulas are so good! The spackle primer is sooo good too! I don't think she gets enough hype, I'm so glad you gave her products a try. I have been scared to try the foundation only because I don't do well with powders but I might try this one.
You definitely have to try Laura’s blush in “pink grapefruit”, that has been my all time favorite for years. It’s stunning!
I've been using these products for years. I'm 57 and it looks so natural and healthy. It looks lovely on you. 🥰
The “tropic hues “ blusher is one of my holy grail blushers.😊
It looks SO deep, I’m scared to try it. It is what’s in the value pack with the fair skin foundations, but it’s the one thing that makes me too scared to try.
I have been using Laura Gellar products for years. This foundation is awesome in this formula and the Balance and Glow. The bronzer is amazing as well as the blushes.
I’ve been using this foundation for years. I swear by it. I’m 66 yrs old, it never looks caky never sits in my lines and just looks like I have perfect skin. Also it lasts and lasts so is very affordable. One thing I would say is I always use my L’Oréal set and glow setting spray over the top of it and, there you are, ready for anything with perfect natural looking skin.
I'm actually obsessed with this foundation! It's so quick, easy with great coverage! 🥰🥰🥰
I used to wear this foundation all of the time and I do carry one in my purse to touch up my makeup, but I think I need to revisit it. You definitely need to try her Tropical Hues blush. It is just beautiful. It is one of the very few blushes that I have hit pan on. Love watching you Allie! You are just a breath of fresh air in this crazy world. ❤️
Mirabella is one of my favorite "unknown " makeup brands. Their powder foundation is amazing and makes me look airbrushed in photos. Been using the brand for 10 years now and nothing beats it for my skin! They have amazing cream products too.
I would like to see a full face Laura Geller. I like watching her on QVC.
Me too!
I've watched TONS of Laura Geller vids, focusing on THE SAME PRODUCTS YOU chose for us, and YOU LOOK STUNNING! Most of her models are my age, 40-60, and say you have a starting advantage, haha, but STILL, it is SO flattering, SO simple, SO classic/timeless.... I picked the SAME SHADES as you, except for the blush I've picked pink grapefruit/pink buttercream and am about to try the sunlit rose. Others have also suggested the ethereal rose has a distinct highlighting effect... But the way you tweaked it after applying the other brand, then touched up again with the bronzer and foundation, looks so beautiful..... I loved watching in real time as you did the other cheek and we could see CLEARLY what kind of coverage you can get, while still maintaining the beautiful natural look of your own skin ... You have inspired me to play a little more with my first ever LG products that have just arrived.... The only additional products I have are the 2 in 1 bronze n blush, and the french vanilla highligher (which may be a better tone for your fair skin, than that other one you mentioned at the top of the video).
GREAT JOB.... nce n simple -- but that's also often easier when you are on the younger side, lol.
Thanks again.
Your skin literally looks air brushed! I wasn’t sure during that first layer, but wow! The skin looks great! 😍
Your application has been the most comprehensive from what I have seen on RUclips so far. With the lighting, it gives you an alabaster-like finish and just the right coverage for me. Very pretty and color is perfect for you. If you were to wear concealer, would you apply it before or after this powder foundation? Thanks for sharing.
Been using it on and off for years, mainly when I'm not going to be outdoors as there's no added sunscreen, which I like to layer when being outside. Her blush and bronzer are AMAZING too
Love that that powder. I use more like a setting powder for the outer part of my face. It is not friendly to the pore area in my opinion bc it definitely has a luminous shift to it. I also love using it as a skin color eye shadow.
LG Balance & Brighten has been my go-to foundation for years. I've probably repurchased this twenty times, at least. Works great with primer and setting spray as well. SO quick, easy, and for me, flawless.
I bought this foundation about a month ago and I love it 💜💜💜💜💜 I searched RUclips for videos of people trying it and they’re really weren’t any…so I’m so glad to see you trying it 💜💜 I have the same opinion as you!! It makes the skin look flawless and wears so beautifully!!!
I live in a SUPER humid part of the south, and I love a good powder foundation (during the summer, especially). I'll have to look into this one!
She invented primer..try the matte spackle on T zone.
The bomb.
Godspeed

I'm a new subscriber.. my jaw dropped when you said Laura Gellar balance and brighten. I have been using it for years from QVC. So natural for a guy to use and looks great over spot concealing or foundation with a setting spray. You need to do another video using it with other makeup.
I don't understand why powder foundation isn't more popular? Especially with oily skinned beauty youtubers?
I have oily skin and this foundation hold up so well for me, even during the summer. I don’t look so greasy when I use Laura Geller. It’s definitely a go-to for me.
I know! They fight with liquids sitting in creases and I’m like….hello……powder!
I've just ordered her supersize bronzer, blush and highlight palette - and couldn't be more excited! I have a feeling these products will end up performing similarly to Hourglass
I just ordered this from amazon, it will be here tomorrow morning. You were still adding the blush by the time I stopped to order, so glad you liked it by the end of the video. 🤣 it just looked so good on you!
Do you trust ordering products from Amazon?
How do you like it?
I'm 60 with mature skin. I hate too much of a dry, powder finish.
My go to is bare minerals rescue foundation. But I'm bored with it.
@@ajordan1976 Amazon let’s you return, like the makeup stores and in my location, it’s only 1-2 days to get my order. I do make sure the makeup is being sold by the brand I’m ordering from and not a third party.
Ok, got it in the mail. I’ve been having a horrible time finding a foundation recently with my sensitive skin. Been wearing this powder all day, and so good. It is just a hair too dark, but not bad. Made my redness go away, yet it doesn’t look like I’m wearing anything!!!!
OK, so I have now bought 2 of these since the video. I bought the same color as Allie, the fair shade. Same as Allie it was just a bit too tan for me, nothing too bad, just slightly. Now I have the porcelain color and it’s perfect and I use the fair color as a subtle contour! I saw a lot of reviews that the porcelain was too pink. It’s not pink it’s just lighter than the fair. Allie, please please please do a new video and get the porcelain and use the fair shade as your contour. I’m in love with this foundation!
@@CatToyLady OMG whoop whoop!!!! Girl I didn’t even think of Amazon!!!! Going now! Thank u
I just started using that baked foundation too! I love it. I get so many compliments when I where it. I also just purchased the highlighter duo. It came in today. The shades are like a light champagne and a light pinkish. No shimmer in them. Just a sheen. They are beautiful!
