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.

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.

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

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.

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 much prefer this LG powder foundation now that I’ve gotten older. The closer I get to 40, the more I notice my liquid foundations sink into lines I didn’t even know I had by the end of the day. I’m combo skin and I find powder just keeps looking better and better as the day goes on- no sinking into lines and looks like a liquid. It also layers so well with cream or powder products. The old rule of “no cream product on top of powder” just doesn’t apply with this one.

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.
