Ever since I got this in my ipsy bag about 6mos ago I've been in love!! I threw out all my liquid foundation, my pressed powder etc...this powder foundation is amazing! It literally is just like brushing on a 2nd layer of skin. It's not cakey like foundation n it's not powdery looking like powder, it's the perfect balance of buildable coverage, if u have certain things u want covered then trust me this will do it but if u just want a natural "better" version of ur own skin then this is THAT! I can't even explain how it does it but it goes on so easy with a makeup brush n is matte enough to look like actual skin but also has this kind of highlight in it to where it looks like real skin as well. Everybody knows that nobody has skin that is 100% matte naturally cuz we have pores n we naturally will glow in certain areas etc..AND everybody knows that nobody has naturally super luminous skin where your just shiny everywhere all the time so if u dnt have time for instance one morning, to do ur highlight...ur all good w this compact alone! U will still look NATURALLY glowing! Me, myself love a strong highlight so I always do a bit of contour n then a snatched highlight above my cheekbones, my cupids bow above my lip, n down the center line of my nose n then use left over on brush to swipe along my temples, arch of eyebrows n top of forehead but I have woken up late 4 wrk sum mornings n took my 2mins to brush on a light layer of this n been extremely happy walking out the door cuz I looked like I just woke up n left but BETTER! nobody could tell I had ANY makeup on, just super healthy, good, skin that had a natural glow. Or 4 the days u dnt want 2b "done up" n dnt feel like doing a full makeup face...just using this compact, shaping ur brows, a lil mascara n sum tinted lip balm n u will look amazing. I swear I will praise n preach about this product FOREVER n TO whoever will listen bcuz its THAT damn good! Just pick the shade that's as close to ur skin color as possible n ur good to go! Btw, that's another thing about it...it magically finds a way to match ur real skin color even if u dnt get the exact color u needed! Of course if ur like a fair/light and u buy a deep tan u already no thats NOT going to happen on any level(or any planet lol) but if ur just a shade or 2 off it will work itself out. It never looks fake, it's so natural that's y I love it as well cuz I tan alot n there's been times I stop tanning for a month or so n I was able to still use the same compact after I had faded ALOT n it never looked bad, it somehow blended itself n I used a big fluffy brush to brush some down my neck a bit(which I do everyday anyway) n it never looked like I had a dark face n light skin at all! It looked like at most, I had a lil bronzer on or had a tad bit of sun on my face but blended seamlessly in with the rest of my body. So anyways yeah!! This product is life!! I also use other laura Gellar products now like her lip scrub lipstick which is all natural n wrks beautifully in getting old dead skin cells n anything else off ur lips b4 u apply ur lip product of choice n ur lips look 100 times better! But yea Laura Gellar baked balance powder foundation ALL THE WAY! I promise u will get rid of all other face products u thought u needed b4!! (Aside from ur blush/bronzer and highlighter if u use those things)

This foundation has amazing, full coverage but still a light feel. I'm very impressed and will continue to use. Only negative and it's totally my fault...I dropped it just before using it for the first time and it crumbled. Still usable, just a pain in the butt.

4.0 out of 5 stars Like the finish
Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2024
Decided to try this after all the hype and having ads pop up on literally everything. I’ve used Bare Minerals for decades for the ease of application and matching skin tone, but it doesn’t cover as well as I’d like. I’m pretty low maintenance on makeup, not great at blending and concealing. Bought the brightening option. I really like the finish it leaves on my face. A little shine, moist looking. I’m a senior and it makes my skin look better. The multicolored product seems to match my skin tone well, but I’m a bit disappointed with the coverage, not like the ads, unless that’s the other variation. I still need to use a bit of concealer and the finish is different than this foundation. Ip close, I can see the difference in the two finishes. Worth mentioning, I bought a softer, retractable makeup brush because my usual brush seemed to rough up the product, not picking it up and was wasting it. I’ve also found that I get better coverage on problem spots by using my small, soft, concealer brush to apply this, although it does take more time. Overall I like it and recommend trying it, especially older ladies or those with dry skin. It’s easier to apply than cream or liquid foundation. At some point I might try the other option, just to see if it covers better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good product
Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2024
Although it does not provide a full coverage like liquid foundation, it works for a quick lightweight makeup days. Be sure to put sunscreen on, followed by a hydrating base, concealer and just dab on with a wide kabuki brush and build layers.

A lot of people complained that it was too shimmery but for me, it provides just enough shimmer for a glowy look. It did not accentuate fine lines or wrinkles probably because of the ample layer of hydrating base that i put on and also did not have a dry look because of the base that used. If used on bare face, i could see how it would have a dry, flaky look as it is powder afterall.

The color was a good match for my Asian complexion but Im not a super pale Asian either and I think this was a good color match. Will have to test out how long it would last in summer heat as it will probably need touch up or reapplication if worn on a full day.

Overall, I think it was a good buy for what it provides. I would recommend this shade over the other color choices.

3.0 out of 5 stars NOT Like the TV Ad!
Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2024
I have to admit that it was the TV ads that made me want to try this. I have great skin and thought this would make it look more than wonderful. I was wanting that dewy look they showed on TV. Well $25 later I had this product in my hand. It looked wonderful, it was beautifully packaged, and arrived safely. It did not however apply nicely at all. It is a very light and dusty application. I think more of the product ends up in the air instead of your face. It may have been better if I put a moisturizer on that would allow the powder to stick and fill in those few lines, yeah, that's a thought....NO. So it left an artificial silvery glow on my face which drew attention to the few lines I have. It was not natural looking at all. There was definitely not a rosy healthy glow about it and I found it leaning more towards yellow/light orange. And I need to let you know that my product was the lightest they had. I was so very disappointed in this. ALSO, this product may not be fully refunded if you USE the product. That means $25 is gone! But how else are you supposed to find out if it is a good fit and nice application unless you try it?
