    • FAQ

      • How do I find the right shade?

        Take our Shade Finder quiz to help find the foundation shade closest to your skin tone — and see it on other Geller gals with skin like yours!

        Check out the “Ask Our Pros” program where our experts will pick the perfect shade for you within minutes via live chat (link above the shade dropdown).

        Remember: Our marbleized baked foundation contains multiple color-correcting shades that will self-adjust to your skin tone as you blend. Whether you choose a shade slightly lighter or darker, most will find the match still works for you.

        You may also find you need a different shade depending on the season! Laura Geller herself wears anything from Light to Golden Medium depending on how tan she is during the summer. If you think you may be between shades, you may wish to try one as a “summer” shade and one as a “winter” shade.

      • Is this a full-coverage foundation?

        No, this foundation provides light to medium coverage, which means your skin shines through. However, it is buildable and can be layered to reach medium coverage. If you’re looking for full coverage, try our Double Take Baked Full Coverage Foundation

      • Which baked foundation is right for me?

        Baked Balance-n-Brighten Color Correcting Foundation: light to medium coverage with a natural finish

        Baked Balance-n-Glow Illuminating Foundation: light to medium coverage with a satin finish

        Double Take Baked Full Coverage Foundation: full coverage with a matte finish

      • What is baked makeup and how is it different?

        Our signature baked makeup starts as swirls of soft cream pigments, which are then artisan-baked in Italy on terracotta tiles for 24 hours. The result is a smooth formula that feels like a powder, but melts and blends into your skin for a soft, creamy feel. Unlike regular pressed powders or heavy liquid formulas, baked makeup offers color-correcting coverage and payoff with a lightweight and breathable feel. It also works great on mature skin, since it doesn't cake or crease!

    How to Apply

    For light coverage

    Swirl a brush (the Retractable Airbrush Kabuki Brush works great!) onto the foundation, then sweep it across your face. Blend outward and upward.

    For medium coverage

    FROM

    From Laura image

    I heard from so many women that when they turned 40, their foundation suddenly felt cakey and heavy on skin.

    In 2004, I discovered this unique process in Italy, where cream makeup pigments were baked into a silky, smooth texture. It was foundation that felt like a second skin! Baked Balance-n-Brighten is never too heavy and never creases. It’s buildable, so you can wear it light by day or add more for fuller coverage when you need it.

    Baked Makeup:

    Better for Your Skin

    Each of Laura Geller’s baked foundations, including Baked Balance-n-Brighten, are made with skin-friendly ingredients to help soothe and hydrate skin. Our bestselling formula features powerful antioxidants like Vitamin E and Green Tea Extracts to defend skin from free radical damage, as well as nourishing botanicals like Jojoba Seed Oil and Centella Asiatica to help moisturize and improve skin’s elasticity.

    "Those with sensitive skin types should look for cosmetics that are hypoallergenic to avoid a reaction in the skin. Laura Geller Balance-n-Brighten is a good option for those looking to conceal skin irritation and redness without adding toxic ingredients which can further irritate the skin."

      This foundation is by far the best I've ever used! I'm 65 yrs old and I've used many different foundations. This is so

      easy to apply. Looks so natural. I will never use anything else!

      Love this!

      It is very hard for me to find makeup that I actually like, and this one hits the mark! I love how it is buildable, but also looks natural and not cakey. Give it a try if you haven't already, it's totally worth it!
