Why do I need this? 🤔

Anyone with an uneven complexion — redness, under-eye circles, sun damage and more — understands that finding the right foundation can be challenging. This powder contains multi-shade color-correcting pigments to help even out unbalanced skin while leaving you looking natural, not like you've slathered on a ton of product. The formula self-adjusts to match your skin tone, so you don't have to worry about it being too warm or too cool as long as you select your closest shade.

And yes, this product is literally baked: The colored pigments are baked on terracotta tiles for 24 hours, giving them a unique consistency that offers the ease of powder and coverage of a cream. This allows it to fill in pores and create a smoother base without settling into fine lines and wrinkles, fans say. The powder is designed to remain lightweight and noncakey, with a demi-matte finish that helps you keep your glow while evening out your skin tone.

The powder also includes antioxidants like Centella Asiatica and white tea extract to keep skin hydrated. The latter has anti-inflammatory and protective properties to help your skin stay looking its best.

What reviewers say 💬

Nearly 25,000 Amazon shoppers have given the Baked Balance-n-Brighten powder a flawless five-star rating, with many highlighting its ease of application and natural look.

Pros 👍

"I'm almost 60, female, some wrinkles and a fair amount of discoloration, red spots, and sun damage, especially on cheeks," confessed one reviewer. "Very good coverage on bare skin (moisturizer only), practically perfect over an inexpensive primer. Almost all my flaws disappeared, even without concealer. Did not settle in wrinkles, either. I feel pretty! Oh so pretty! ... Or, at least, not bad for an old broad."

Another user shared shared, "I'm 59 years old. I've tried probably all makeup on the market over the years that promises everything. ... This product lasts all day, which is so wonderful. Feels great, looks natural, helps hide minor flaws/spots. This is unlike any powder foundation I've ever bought at all price levels."

Even shoppers with rosacea noticed a difference. "I started showing signs of rosacea after turning 60, and didn't know what to do, or how to hide it," said one. "This 'color correcting' foundation is truly amazing! ... In just a couple of minutes, I was able to cover my blotchy skin. I highly recommend Laura Geller makeup to anyone over 50. The benefits of color-correcting makeup can't be overstated."

Cons 👎

Some shoppers said it took them a couple of tries to find the right shade to match their skin tone. "I initially had some difficulty with the colors of the product matching my skin tone … admittedly, I tried a couple," wrote one user. Added a second customer: "I had first ordered the medium color and had to return. It was too dark for my complexion and looked blotchy."

Another reviewer wished for a little more staying power: "The only dislike I have is that it does seem to wear off quicker than I would like so you do need to top up."

Available in seven shades from Porcelain to Deep, these compacts are easy to apply and easy to slip into your handbag for any touch-ups.
