LAURA GELLER NEW YORK Baked Starter Kit: Fair, Best of the Best Full Face Palette + Baked Balance-n-Brighten Powder Foundation + Retractable Angled Kabuki Brush Set

I’ve seen a lot of online ads for this, and am very excited to have it for myself. The online ads show a (gorgeous) woman gasping in delight as she tries this and it blends with her skin perfectly. I’m not as pretty as she is, but I love it anyway. I actually have a couple of small zits on my chin at the moment, and it disappeared those rather miraculously. The amazing thing is that I wore the whole kit yesterday, and didn’t feel or look like I had much makeup on (I just looked better than without), but when I took it off last night there was a LOT of foundation on my cotton pad. It makes my deathly winter pallor look way less deathly too. I think I’ll need either golden or medium for summer, but for winter this kit is perfect. This plus eyeliner, mascara, and a lipstick are all I need for full face for anything. My makeup routine just improved, and I’m blown away by the quality. The brush is wonderful, too, and perfect for stuffing in my makeup bag since it’s retractable and protected. You won’t be disappointed. It’s your own face and skin, but better.

I'm in my 40s and have tried a lot of makeup products for my aging skin. With creases and wrinkles it is hard to get a glowing and more flawless finish. I like how this mineral based formula does not settle into wrinkles and gives a glowing finish. The palette provides shimmery eyeshadow, blush, and bronzer that are build able and easy to blend. The baked powder goes on smooth and doesn't cake. This palette gives me a healthy, natural look with a glow up finish. Very pleased with the quality and will replenish when it runs out.

Arrives in a beautiful light pink, professional zip lock bag, with the brand name printed on the front. Everything inside is well packaged and brand new. The foundation matches my winter skin BEAUTIFULLY and blends seamlessly into my natural shade. I only wish the eyeshadow trio had a dark MATTE brown instead of the shimmery brown in its place. I am happy with the quality of the products. It is what I've come to expect from LAURA GELLER. You can create a GORGEOUS daytime/neutral/natural look with this kit. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

I purchased the Laura Geller Baked set on Fair. What I discovered is that fair, isn't fair enough, but I can't return opened cosmetics to get the porcelain color...I have red hair and fair skin. Fair is the color I purchase for most every foundation color. This was disappointing in that not only was it too dark, with too much yellow, but it made my crows feet stand out even more. I've watched the tutorials on how to apply this product, but my results didn't look like others, where their lines sort of blended away...What I also found is that the brush sheds a lot. And I experienced eye irritation after using the eye shadows. My eyes watered and felt super dry. So ultimately, this set, while pretty, isn't practical for me.

First of all, this came with the top part of the eyeshadow broken off. I was going to try to reattach it with some water or oil, but then it disintegrated in the palette before I got the chance to.The palette came yesterday, which was quick. The eyeshadow is amazing, like butter when you put it on. Unfortunately, I have less than half of the best color in this palette since the dark shadow came broken.The foundation has no coverage, but that's the trend these days. If you prefer a very light coverage, this foundation is for you. I'll use it as a setting powder, so it will get it's use. I bought this palette already having that back up plan since I know a lot of these mineral foundations aren't my thing.All of the other products worked fine, and I'm excited to have these staple products to elevate my makeup looks.
