This video couldn't have come at a better time for me! I haven't worn makeup for many, many years, and my husband gifted me the Laura Gellar Baked Balance and Brighten Foundation because he knew I wanted to start wearing makeup again. Well, things have changed so much compared to the past, and I'm totally lost! Our ages are similar, as well as our coloring, and you've really given me a jumping-off point for a natural, daily look. I can't thank you enough for this video! 👏
You have no idea how happy this comment made me!! I hope to make helpful content, so reading your comment just made my day! I think you are really going to love some of her products! I was talking to my best friend a lot about this recently, as she is a new convert to the Baked Balance and Brighten Foundation. She absolutely loves it! I hope you love it too! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to leave me this comment. It really meant a lot!❤️
I finally tried Laura Geller products a few months ago. Love them. I also have rosacea and this makeup does not bother my skin. It evens out the many tones of my skin very nicely and gives me a really nice natural look. I don't have the setting powder, but will definitely try it!
Hi Linda! I so agree these are great products for rosacea. Overall, I seem to like most of her products. Glad you are loving them too! Have a great day my sweet friend! Hope the sun is shining where you are!💕
I love the whole collection, I bought even all the brushes & skin care! Love everything, lipsticks eyebrows pen, eyeliner, etc…. Bought everything! 5 stars to Laura Geller products!
Hi Tina, I think I will order some of the Laura Gellar powder, I think the green in it will help my redness. I have rosacea as well. Have you ever tried a green based primer, I like those for getting rid of some of the redness, and, of course, I buy whatever is on sale because I’m cheap. I would agree if you are thinking about two foundation shades, choose the lighter, there is nothing worse than seeing someone with a chin line, if you know what I mean. Have a good day my friend. 😊
Hi Sheila! Yes, I have tried some green based primers, but the ones I tried seemed to make my makeup look cakey. If you end up getting the powder let me know what you think! I am really loving it! It's so dreary here today. Hopefully you've got some sunshine. Have a good one my beautiful friend!❤️
I do love Laura Geller's Baked Balance & Brighten and her blushes, (especially for travel) and I must try the Finishing powder as it looks really promising! I agree with you on her lippies. My lips don't do well with it in the winter. And hey, I completely understand the bed hog dog. That's my Finn! Almost every night. LOL Have a great week friend.
Hi Sallie! I know we love her foundation for travel! Did you know I am STILL amazed at your "magical" carry-on packing from your trip to last year!! Unfortunately it was another night of Louie trying to steal my spot! Lol! Hope Finn let you sleep last night😊 Hope it's not as dreary in OH as it is in IL today. Have a good one my beautiful friend!❤️
Hi Michelle! What a difference going from light to fair has been for me! I will still use light maybe when I am using more self tanner, but honestly I am just loving the fair shade!
Hi sweet Tina and Louie! Tina, when I used the Balance N Brighten, I too started out by using Light, but quickly switched to Fair. I was much happier with it. The face palettes look so nice. And the eyeshadow palette is so nice and natural looking. I've been loving a one and done shadow lately. The powder looks lovely. If the liquid lipstick is too dry, try topping it withva sheer gloss. Ah, you just said the same. You look stunning! Have a wonderful night. ❤❤🩷🫂
Hi sweet friend!! I am late to the game going a shade lighter, but having gotten the Fair now, I am head over heels in love with this foundation all over again! Thank you for always making me smile with your comments. I hope you are having a great week!❤️
You are beyond precious. The week has been flying by. Of course, it was made so much better by watching my sweet Henry yesterday. He's got another cold, but seems to be unaffected by it. Hope that you are having a great week, and that you are feeling well. Hugs. ❤🫂😘@tinasbestmidlife
Yet another cold. The hazards of preschool. Pediatrician said they usually get 2 a month, and considering that they last 10 days, seems like he's never without one. It's laundry and cleaning day. Don't be jealous! Have a great one! 💖🥰@tinasbestmidlife
Love Laura Geller too. I’ll have to try the powder. I also think I’m in a shade too dark. Hoping it works when I get some color this summer! Your make up looks lovely.
Hi Kelly! Thank you! 🥰 I’m thinking my light shade in the Baked Balance and Brighten will be a good summer shade for me and hopefully that warm weather isn’t far off. Thank you for watching and I hope you have a great day!💕
Hi Tina , as you know I have rosacea too, lately I’ve been so pink. 😥 I have the Elf so I will try it as a primer. I wish something would help take the redness down! !! Fair is what I have as well. I do find the Laura Geller to wear very well and not be drying . Great for travel. Thanks for the tip. If you find the best thing for bringing down redness I know you’ll let us know! Thank you
Hi Susan! I am sorry you have to deal with the redness as well. It's so strange! I have learned what my triggers are and can go along doing pretty good keeping the redness to a minimum, and then bam! My face starts burning and I haven't done anything differently?? It's frustrating when that happens. Do you have a red light device? Using red light is always a way to calm my skin down, but unfortunately I can't walk around with red light all the time! Lol! Thank you for watching my friend and I hope you are having a wonderful week!💕
@@tinasbestmidlife Yes I have the Mito red light large panel and I use it with maysama every day. I am simplifying my routine. I’m thinking my agency tretinoin may be too strong and niacinimide is a vasodialator. I may ask them to back down on my .tretinoin or maybe be take the niacinamide out of my prescription. Your lucky you can tolerate it so well,
Ive been eyeing Laura Geller recently, esoecially with the sales she's been running. This looks so pretty on you! My low buy ends next week, so maybe if things are stil on sale...
Hi Tina, You look wonderful with the Laura Geller makeup. I like her makeup and I need to try the setting powder. Her bullet lipsticks are very creamy.Too bad that the liquid lipstick is drying because the color is awesome. Maybe you have tried it already, Revolution has a nice under eyye corrector and it' easy to pick up at Target. Happy Easter to you and your family and happing napping to your adorable fur baby.
Hi there! Thank you so much! I love that setting powder and you have piqued my interest in her bullet lipsticks. You're right the color of the liquid lipstick is so pretty! Happy Easter to you and your family! And Louie says hi!❤️
I use the Laura Geller Balance & Brighten powder and like it, but need to get a shade darker. I might try out the ELF Halo Glow to wear under it. Need to try out more of LG’s products. Is your dog’s name Louie ? Our dog is also Louie, and someone else I follow on YT, has a dog named Louie. 😃😃
Hi Debbie! Definitely try the Halo Glow under the LG foundation. I just love that combination! Isn't that funny with all the Louies??? I imagine your Louie is a sweetheart too. I think it just comes with the cute name! Thank you so much for watching and leaving me such a nice comment. I really appreciate it!💕
17:24 thank you for doing this video. I love a natural look too. And, you did that perfectly!! I have one question tho, do you shave your face ? I’m 61, and I’m so scared to shave my face!! But, I’m beginning to see more and more hair. I ordered a shaver but I’m so scared to use it. Any advice? Thank you
Thank you Lori! I do "shave" my face, but sometimes I am not the best about doing it regularly. I have used the razors I think you are talking about and it's not as bad as you might think. Although I do have a harder time using them on my upper lip as compared to my cheeks. I also use the Finishing Touch battery operated shaver and I honestly use that more often than the razors because it is just easier for me. I hope this helps!
I tried the Laura Geller powder foundation a few months ago. It looked to dry on my skin. I might try it again using the Elf product you use. Thx for the tip! You’re going to laugh but I have rosacea too! Lol We’re so much alike!
Oh Terri! Of course you have rosacea! Lol! Hope you are doing well and that you are going to be able to see your kids for Easter. Have a wonderful day my sweet friend!❤️
Thanks for this video. I’ve been vacillating about buying Laura Geller for a while. My son is getting married in a month and I’m in desperate need of new makeup. I’ve decided to take the plunge.
I bought two of these,Fair and Light,and they both are VERY dark,even the Fair looks orange on me.I read other reviews on these,and i read other say the same.The best i could use the Fair for now,is for a rouge.Disappointing.
Oh that is disappointing! Honestly after wearing the light shade for years, I can see how it is definitely more "bronzy" on me. The Fair just disappears into my skin. I don't even know if they make something lighter than Fair??
Theres one lighter called Porcelain.But i dont know if i am gonna take my chance on another one.Finding the right shade when ordering online,is very hard..@@tinasbestmidlife

Thank you Dez!❤️
I love Laura Geller! I prefer a softer classic makeup look too!
