Anyone used Laura Geller baked beauty foundation? Wondering if it’s any good? I’m north of 50.

It’s too yellow for me but if you do want to try it, I suggest QVC as you can return for a refund.

Pumpkincozynights · 30/03/2025 08:27

Yes I decided to try it last year. I’m very pleased with it.

NCfor24 · 30/03/2025 09:06

I really like it. Buildable coverage and smooth, healthy glow finish.
I use over a bit of concealer on areas with darker pigmentation.
I also love the Laura Geller blush...lasts forever.
As PP said buy from QVC so you can return if it doesn't suit, they do some decent priced bundles.

Second that i find it super yellow - orangey I find it cakey too.

MoreChocPls · 30/03/2025 10:25

It’s a 50/50 split! Will decide on the next opinion!!!

QVC it, then you can try it out free

Very yellow and very drying on my skin. Waste of money.

Thesonofaphesantplucker · 30/03/2025 10:30

I use it. I’m 38 and have oily skin. I absolutely love it. I get a lot of compliments on my make up. I got the starter kit and keep it in the car to do make up on the run!

scarfaceace · 30/03/2025 10:55

I tried it - waaay too orange.
I got it from Amazon so very easy to return.

suki1964 · 30/03/2025 11:59

I like it, it suits my skin - combination, few wrinkles and lines, high pigmentation around the nose , cheeks and chin

You do have to moisturise well before using it as it can look powdery if your skin is dry

I wear two shades, and two formulations . Double take in light - that goes over the red bits, then I blend out using baked balance and brighten in medium

Double take is full coverage and balance and brighten is light coverage

Double take comes with a sponge applicator which gives good coverage, you can use it wet to get a heavier coverage

QVC is good in that you can send it back within 60 days if you don't like it, but it is expensive from there and they don't often have it in stock. I buy direct from Laura geller, there's always 50% off and they do refunds if you don't like it. However you have to factor in shipping costs and delivery times. Im ok with that because it is a product I like and am re ordering

Her blushers and bronzers are really highly pigmented, very little is required

Lots of videos on Y tube showing application

ImWearingPantaloons · 30/03/2025 12:57

I found it vastly overpriced considering how average it was.

i used it up but didn’t replace it.

RandalsAunty · 30/03/2025 13:32

Yes! I’ve been using it for few years now and I love them. I have brighten one and glow in two shades for winter and summer. My friends are using it too now.

lindyloo57 · 30/03/2025 15:12

I have oily skin and do love it, but I brought the medium which I use as a bronzer and a lighter colour for foundation

adcde123 · 30/03/2025 15:59

I’ve recently started using the starter kit after a long period of wearing no make up at all and I like it, so far :) it goes on better after a bit of primer 👌🏻

luckylavender · 30/03/2025 16:41

I absolutely love it. Looks far more natural on older skin.

allmycats · 30/03/2025 17:05

I love it and have used it for many years but always use a moisturiser and primer first. Ensure that the primer is dry before using balance and brighten. I am 67 and use fair in winter and medium in summer, I also build it up gradually and it lasts all day. I have light, silvery blonde hair and it never looks orangey on my skin.

Gettingbysomehow · 30/03/2025 19:45

I'll never buy that stuff again. I ran the barcodes through the YUKA app and it had a ton of toxic substances in it and scored really low 1/100 depending on the product. Shame because it made my skin look great.

MoreChocPls · 31/03/2025 10:02

I’ll start looking for other products. Views much appreciated. Going to look at the yukka app too.
