    • FAQ

      • Is this 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?

        Our marbleized baked foundation contains multiple color-correcting shades, which will self adjust. Don’t worry, even if you pick one shade lighter or darker, the shade will still work for you.

      • How do I apply the foundation?

        For LIGHT coverage, swirl a brush (the Retractable Airbrush Kabuki Brush works great!) onto the powder, then sweep it across your face. Blend outward and upward.

        For MEDIUM coverage, use a denser brush, or the Retractable Airbrush Kabuki Brush with the sleeve pulled almost all the way up for denser bristles, and press (don’t swipe) the powder onto your skin.

      Works great on older skin by hiding imperfections and doesn’t settle in wrinkles. Can’t imagine how beautiful it would look on younger skin.

      Never settles in lines

      I'm 58 with the skin of a 40+ so I'm told. That being said....this is the best foundation I've ever tried. I don't like heavy foundations ...but do enjoy a nice ,flawless coverage. This gave me that without the heaviness. I understand that I sound like a commercial. It's hard not to with this product. It's sincerely the best I've ever tried. I also love LG's view on being kind to the planet 💚

      Subtle Glow

      I thought I loved the OG Baked Balance and Brighten, then I met the Balance and Glow, which is EVEN BETTER. I love the very subtle glow it gives. Not too gleamy for mature skin. This is my new favorite!

      Excellent powder foundation

      I've always had problems applying foundation so avoided using it. NOT ANYMORE

      Now in my late sixties need to hide a few blemishes etc.

      This foundation is easy to apply gives an even coverage and I can apply more where needed without a heavy look.
