Why do I need this? 🧐

If you’re not familiar with Laura Geller cosmetics, the products are popular among celebrities like Vanna White and Fran Drescher. Ladies who’ve been in the spotlight for as long as they have, know a little something about good makeup.

This foundation is the holy grail for complexions that aren’t as radiant as they used to be. It is lightweight and gives skin a natural, lit-from-within glow.

What reviewers say 💬

More than 10,000 Amazon shoppers rave about this foundation.

Pros 👍

“If you have mature skin and are tired of foundation creasing and settling into fine lines, this is a game changer,” gushed a rave reviewer. “It’s quick, easy to use and can be built up a bit, not full coverage.”

“Love this makeup,” wrote another five-star fan. “I have really large pores and a ruddy ugly complexion. At 73 years old I’ve used a lot of different foundations but this is, by far, above the rest! Gives me a really nice coverage, not sticky, not dried out. Truly does a marvelous job. Lasts a long time even with extra usage.”

“I struggle with horrible dark circles under my eyes that I have had since I was a child,” another fan shared. “I am also 50+ and don’t like the ‘cakey’ look you get when you use makeup that is thick enough to hide them. This powder has done a WONDERFUL job at hiding the circles, while still looking natural, and I found that I do not have to continue to reapply throughout the day.”

Cons 👎

Shoppers warn that you might want to be careful when you handle the compact.

“Only negative and it’s totally my fault,” wrote one shopper. “I dropped it just before using it for the first time and it crumbled. Still usable, just a pain in the butt.”

Another shopper shared: “This color-correcting foundation does not clump up on my skin. The only con I can think of is if you drop it on a tile floor the foundation breaks up and you have to order another one.”
