First I'm 73 and been using Balance and Brighten for a few years now, I think it's a great foundation for mature skin.
I like this foundation, I use it in the summer as it's less likely to run down my face when it's hot!
I love this and have been using it for years and wouldn’t be without it. I’ve ordered from LG website when I couldn’t find it anywhere and it arrived quickly. On Amazon now and so have a back up. I do put a light base underneath - it’s quick to apply and lasts. The only thing is the lids break every time for me. If travelling, take it in the box!
I have been through pressed powders, but loose powders in a tub, seem to go on and on and on...and I'm still only half way through!!😂😂
Yes! Unfortunately the lids break off every time for me too!
@@kerenbb QVC sell it. I buy it when it's on offer or part of a set but to be honest, it lasts forever 🙂
Great video Dez, I think the foundation looks great on you. I have tried the LG foundation but it always looks dry and cakey on me. But having watched your video I might have been using too much, so you’ve encouraged me give it another go. ❤
Thanks so much! I think prep is probably key, so some kind of primer may be the answer ❤️
I have used the Laura Geller foundation and I do like it, especially for summer. My favorite lash combo is the primer used, plus Loreal Telescopic Lift, then Maybelline Sky High-chef’s kiss!!
I do love the Maybelline - it's great, but not tried the L'Oreal - but I will now - thank you!
I used this foundation for years when I was still working, and also used her Illuminating Spackle with it - which was similar to the Elf you are showing. It always looked good, and was so quick and easy to apply. The only con was the inconsistency with the color - as these baked products are a mix of several colors swirled together, and some batches were darker than others (depending on the way the swirling was done!). She was an innovator in some many of her products - eyebrow marker pencils with a triple tip, spackle (or primer), vanilla highlighter (years before highlighters became a "thing"), and baked products in general. The Charlotte Tilbury brush is almost identical to Laura Geller's brush. Caroline Barnes is my absolute favorite makeup artist - just lovely, and so good! I think this foundation looks wonderful - soft and perfect less is more. I still have an unopened one in my stash - think I will get it out again. I don't care for her blushes (too garish), or any of her other foundations, or eyeshadows, but glad to hear you liked it. How did the Merit work under the eyes?
The inconsistency in color is something I've heard before and has made me hesitate trying it. But I'm thinking of giving it a go now anyway. 😊
Oh interesting! Laura Geller just wasnt on my radar until TH-cam but glad to have found it. Interesting about batch inconsistency. The Merit worked really well! In fact I've now used it all over and under the Laura Geller which also works well. I want to try the new Merit product - forgotten the name - it's a moisturising primer I think.
@@beautybydezsome of my compacts had more of the darker pigment, which, when swirled and applied was too dark for my skin, and then some would have hardly any of the dark. Overall - I really liked it - for the finish and the speed! And - her spackle was the best!
I have used Green People mascara for years and love it!
Thanks - will add to my list!
I haven't tried any Laura Geller yet, and this is the second video I've seen that tested a product from her line. I need to look deeper into the line.
BTW, one last follow up on the primer/concealer hack: I tested 6 different primers and 5 different concealers in different combinations. I used high end to drugstore. And it didn't seem to matter once I figured out which worked best with each other - it definitely works better than anything else I've tried! One thing I also found is you might not need a setting powder - it might get cakey, but depends on the formula. So, your idea is a winner, in my book, anyway❤
Thanks so much Nicki! I am definitely a convert to this foundation, but it is pricey. Zena in the comments above said QVC offer a return service, so might be worth purchasing from them if you do decide to get it, just in case.
I buy Laura Geller from QVC, but only when there is an offer. Sometimes they sell collections that are amazing. I've been using it for years. Like yourself, I enjoy the ease of using it particularly if I'm just nipping to the shops or walking the dog and don't want to look pasty but don't want to apply a full face of make up.
Watch that you don't get it wet though as it will turn to liquid. I like it because it has no binders in it. It is a liquid that is baked so you get the full colour. You can also use a small eyeshadow brush and pick out the darker swirls to use as an eyeshadow or eyeliner. Laura Geller's blushers and highlighters are also very good. It's good for taking away on holiday as it's not messy. I think that it looked good on you 😊
Ooh thanks for the tips - and yes, I will take it with me to NY when I go next week - it's been my go-to all week now. I like the idea of using it on eyes too. I will definitely try more of her products ❤️
ohhh so glad to see you tried it. YES you said it right. It melts into your skin. I could not get Bare Minerals to work on my oily and large pores skin no matter what but always wanted to have "natural, mineral based" foundation. Then!!! I found LG and I get 2 of them one porcelain one light and it lasts me most of the year. In winter I am pale, in summer a bit darker but in-between I just "customize" it. Oh what a delight when people say my face looks like "butter" or "baby's......". I love your videos - so much fun and yes you always manage to turn your make up look into something great though you do it in such a normal way; like most of us, you are simply having fun with it and not so precise and 20 different brushes...hahaha just enjoy your videos so much. Yes, also, LG has sales to die for and that foundation can cost you only $19 :-) seriously!!! June or July sales...ahhah and then soon soon...She is smart. The biggest sales are off the "Christmas" season and who knows knows ;-) HUG from Maryland USA
Thanks so much for your lovely comment! I am really glad I've got it and I will probably take it with me when I go to NY as it's so easy for travelling - as long as I remember the brush 😊❤️
I use Jane Iredale foundation as it was easy to use and because a dermatologist suggested that mineral makeup would be useful for me and my sensitive skin.
You look beautiful. I love Laura Geller powder foundation, I have been using it for years, I think it’s very mature friendly, the blushes, bronzer and highlighters are also beautiful. The Lisa Eldridge silk liquid eyeshadows are amazing, I purchased 3, took 2 of them to Spain and that’s all I wore in Spain, ordered the 2 darker shades when I came back home. I love the Lancôme Hypnose Drama mascara, the monsieur big, the new CT is fantastic, it does not smudge or flake and 90% of mascaras smudge on my lower lash line, I love my lashes to have lots of volume and length, I’m picky with mascaras.Gorgeous jewelry. Much love my friend 💕
Muchas gracias Clara! Been meaning to comment on your heartfelt and moving video from a couple of weeks ago - you have been through the mill! Glad you got over to Spain. Thanks for the mascara recommendations - I shall probably go mad in New York buying up Sephora - and Ulta, which I've never been to. Love to you too ❤️❤️❤️
I rarely breakout but this made my skin breakout. Let's see how u do after a couple days.
Oh no, what a shame. So far so good, I'm about 5 days in.
I am a mascara junkie. Recently I tried the Rare Beauty mascara and loved it. It is my favorite now.
Thanks so much! I had a mini Rare Beauty a couple of years ago and liked it - will give the full size a go!
The only places I've seen Laura Geller are QVC, Amazon, and TJ Maxx (I think they're called TK Maxx near you) and Marshall's stores.
Check out her website. Grat prices.
I have been considering this product but the price put me off. AND I had the same experience you had many years ago with mineral foundations which left me fearing it would be unappealing and uncomfortable. Your skin looks great and I trust the veracity of your review. After years of failing to find a foundation that does not make me look cakey, but does make me look better, I was delighted to find a very inexpensive and effective option: Wet n Wild (who knew!) Tinted Hydrator. Amazing! But I'm still tempted to try this one. Thanks!
OH! You have reviewed it... positively! I wonder if I bought it on your recommendation. That's entirely possible. I wonder how they compare.
Gosh completely agree about the Wet n Wild Tinted Hydrator - it's amazing on all fronts! But I do think this product is really good and I am using it every day at the mo, but it is pricey. It'll be interesting to see how long it lasts 😉❤️
@@beautybydez I will definitely be paying attention to any updates you care to share. It would be hard to justify paying so much more now that I have the WnW TH. I'm watching this space!
Have you tried Benefit They're Real magnet? I love it paired with Dior Lash Serum.
Ooh I haven't, thank you - will give them both a go!
I have used the glow for a long time and recently repurchased on line from LG whilst on a good sale price. Carriage about £6 to uk.
Oh that's not too bad really - I suppose it's when you see a discount and think oh good, then you add the shipping and it takes it up to the original price 😉
L’Oréal Panorama mascara. Give it a try❤
Thank you - that's got two votes now and I've added it to my list ❤️
The foundation looks very nice on you. I must try it. I love her eye shadows.
Thank you ❤️
Don’t feel bad, I live in Montana in the US and often wait a week for shipments!😂. I enjoy your content since I’m 68 ❤️
LOL - I guess it's not so bad. And thank you so much ❤️
I use a BB cream as a light foundation in summer (as we have hot summer in Australia 🇦🇺) but maybe I should try a powder foundation!! I've never thought of it, I always think of powder as just setting my liquid foundations!😂😂 never too old to try something else!! I will have to have a look at it. 👍👍👍❤️
I really can’t get on with LG foundation I find it very drying and clogging. The best I have used is Bare Minerals foundation, it never lets me down. Also the Elizabeth Arden mineral foundation is very good. Thanks for the video.
Oh interesting! Maybe I'll do a round up of some powder/mineral foundations as I've not tried either of those. Thank you!
QVC still sell loads of bits of Laura Geller. I like their blusher too.
Thanks Jan - is the shipping quicker, do you think? I might try them next time.
Qvc have upped their shipping time. I ordered something, came within 5 days.
Also on E.bay, but it takes time from them
I looks very pretty on your skin Dez
Thanks for sharing ❤
Dr. Sam ‘flawless moisturizer intense’ is great for dry, sensitive skin! I use it as a nightcream. Thanks for your videos. Enjoy watching them! ❤
Ooh thanks - I keep forgetting about Dr Sam's products - will add the cream to my list!
I think the foundation looks good Dez . With powder foundation I find it’s all about the skin prep before applying. It’s funny because my mom and sister have been asking me what I think about this product and should we order some so this review has really helped me .
I’m trying to decide on a shade but I will be trying this 😊
As far as mascaras go I’ve always used two . First I apply a volume one then a lengthening one on top . L’Oréal Telescopic is a really good one for lengthening.
Loved this video Dez in fact I’m watching it again in bed 😂❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much Hils! I agree, prep is crucial. Have added the L'Oreal to my list ❤️
Hi Dez: YES to "permanent" jewelry! I've been thinking about getting a small, rather delicate, bracelet welded on for a while. The makeup always looks fab on you at the end, but, I thought the foundation seemed a bit yellow... maybe it was the light. Love the Milani lippie on you and the eyeshadow shade. Hugs! Rosemarie 🩷
Ah interesting! I think I may have overdone the bronzer too 😉 Thank you and hugs back ❤️
Dez! Thank you so much for the shoutout!🥰
My mother-in-law got “forever” bracelet with her granddaughter. When I think of that I get claustrophobic! lol! But I just love your new necklace from your hubby!
Now onto the makeup! It looked absolutely gorgeous on you!! I’m so happy you like it!! Just like you said, it’s just such a great, easy, natural foundation. Awesome review my beautiful friend!!!❤️
Thanks so much cherie! I am so grateful for your reviews as I don't think I would have tried it otherwise - been wearing it all week and will take it to NY with me - leaving lots of space for a huge makeup haul while I'm there 😊
I got my Balance an Brighten from QVC Dez . They have Laura Geller on quite often, sometimes with other items. Check them from time to time because the prices aren’t too bad.
Thanks Jane!
Have to admit I’ve never tried a LG products. You know me Dez if there’s an extra step to make a product work … as you Brits say “it’s too much faf” Sending you lots of love 😊
Lol and double lol! Yes we don't like a faff here in England - but I think this is quite faffless, tbh 😉 - Love to you too! BTW I've DM'd you ❤️
thank you! ive been using Laura Geller for about a year, over my SPF, I think I need to go lighter since sometimes I over apply and its not a good look hahaha. must get a kabuki brush. Cheers. The product looks good on you!!!!
Thanks so much Laura!
The foundation looks very natural. I have looked at it before on QVC but never bought it. I like the MAC powder foundation, ive been using it all summer and its easy to top up without any heaviness. I have combination skin so i always need to powder and touch up during the day- less so if i use a primer- but i find primers tend to clog my pores so only use them when i need bulletproof makeup. The good thing about buying from QVC is you have so many weeks to try a product and you can get a full refund if you don't like it. I have tried the Jane Iredale and it was dreadful - really dry.
Ah that's very useful intel, Zena, about QVC - I didn't know that about refunds. Not tried the MAC - I need to fish out the two I bought last year (or maybe it was the year before!) and see if they're still ok.
Hi loved the video, I use Laura Geller Foundation alot and love it. My favourite mascara is rimmel extra super lash, it's only £5. I have tried others higher brand, drug store such as elf etc but always go back to rimmel ❤
Thank you - and thanks for the recommendation - will give it a go, £5 is a steal ❤️
I think it looks good on your skin. I tried it once and liked it. Have a great day.❤
Thank you - and you ❤️
Boots Natural Collection mascara is the best I’ve found and it’s feels lovely on my lashes but like many good products it’s very difficult to get hold of so much so I’m wondering if it’s discontinued! I didn’t like ELF extender mascara either.
Ooh thanks Liz, I'll have a look.
Lovely Jewelry Dez ❤
Thank you - is a great if pricey brand!
This foundation looks great on you! I've been considering it - I think I might try it now 😊.
I used Jane Iredale's loose powder foundation for years when my skin wasn't as dry as it is now. I loved it. It looked natural and didn't cause any irritation (I do have rosacea).
The trick is to use a very loose, fluffy brush and lightly tap it on the skin. You can build it up, but the lighter the application the better. Just a little too much will look cakey. I would use their moisturizing tint as a primer.
I can still use it if I moisturize enough, but now I'd rather use something that is more hydrating. Thanks for testing this! ❤
Thanks so much! Yes I think the brush I used was fluffy enough, but I might consider a looser one now you've suggested it❤️
@@beautybydez That's what I did with the Jane Iredale. I'll probably try it with the Laura Geller, but it might work best with the Kabuki brush. It's worth experimenting, though it did look great on you 😊
❤❤❤❤❤❤
That's funny. I had the same experience with Jane Iredale.
Ah, interesting, glad it's not just me then 😊 I swore never again to go near it!
I'm 66 and have been using balance and brighten for a decade.
I am late to the party, but glad I got there ❤️
I like this foundation and always get it from qvc, last month I brought direct from laura geller as it was half price so ordered 2, but they didn't arrive there was a problem at arrival in uk, I got a full refund no problem, so had to order from qvc, then 3 weeks later qvc are doing a offer if one balance and brighten and a balance and glow for around £40 including delivery so I ordered them too I now have 3 so would need any more for a long time, another tip i sometimes use a little over a bb or cc cream for a little more coverage x
Ooh thanks Linda! I've not tried a bb or cc cream - which ones do you like?
@@beautybydez I use the Eborian cc cream and I have the bb in a travel size
@@lindaalden2867 thank you!
Oh Dez I’ve had a terrible time with my latest Natasha Denona order. ‘Lost in the post’ apparently, but trying to get a refund from a company based in the US is proving frustratingly impossible. Needless to say I will not be buying from them again.
Whaaat! How frustrating! Charlotte Holdcroft told a similar tale a couple of months ago. It is always a bit of a worry purchasing directly from the States. What had you ordered? I don't have many of her products.
@@beautybydez two of her large eyeshadow pallets - I really should hold off when I have FOMO 😂
I did purchase some LG foundation like this but found it was too full of shine! It looked like I put on too much highlighter!! I gave it to my granddaughter who loves it! So people should be aware if they don't like shine.
I wonder if you got the Balance and Glow version instead of the Balance and Brighten? I've tried that one and had the same experience, it was so shiny I ended up giving it away.
I don't know why but I have tried the light and medium, just does not look good on me
oh that's a shame, have you tried it with a primer?
I used it for years but as I got towards 60 it settled into lines more sadly.
Oh that's a shame. Have you tried it with a primer?
Not a true review of the foundation as you used another foundation underneath! And using two foundations makes it even more expensive 😂
I wouldnt call the e.l.f. Halo Glow a foundation myself - but since the video I've tried it with the Merit serum underneath and that worked well too.
Got this after the hype. Never again!. Cakey and heavy looking. Not at all flattering.
Oh shame. I guess it depends on one's skin. Have you tried a primer underneath?
