Whatever you may think about powder foundations, the Laura Geller Baked Balance-n-Brighten formula is likely vastly different. Rather than drying out skin and accentuating flakes or texture, this impossibly lightweight “powder” functions and feels closer to a cream, which real users assure us is never cakey and resistant to settling into fine lines.
“I am 37, fair-skinned, and have fine lines around my eyes, and this is the area where makeup can sometimes make me look like I have deeper wrinkles,” one Amazon customer writes. “This powder blurs those fine lines just a little, but definitely does not enhance them like most makeup products do.”
In terms of coverage, it claims to camouflage imperfections using color-correcting and brightening pigments, rather than operating as a heavy layer of opaque makeup. According to one reviewer from Amazon, “it instantly neutralizes redness and brightens up sallow skin without needing a separate primer or corrector.”
The brand claims that this “balance and correct” approach works for concealing dark spots, hyperpigmentation, redness and rosacea.
“I wouldn’t say it’s [a] full coverage foundation, but more of a balancing foundation. It balances out my skin tone and gives a soft finish,” an Amazon reviewer explained.
