Laura Geller makeup

.

Hints given me by a VERY famous make-up artist re foundation ...

#ALWAYS put it on with a warm damp make-up brush.

(My foundation which I've used for decades is fabulous - Jane Iredale Liquid Minerals. Expensive, but I use it every day (with occasional touchups) and it lasts just over 3-months. But the administering works the same with any foundation)

# put an amount about the size of a garden pea on the back of the thumb and mix using a brush that's been wettened with hot water then lightly dab it on a piece of loo paper to get rid of any excess water.

# then dip the brush in the foundation and put a stripe on each cheek and then another stripe (so creating a X); ditto across the forehead, across closed eyes, and down nose. Then blend it into the skin with circular motions.

Sounds a lot but takes just two or three minutes maximum. Skin as smooth as can be. No lines or blotches. I never wear powder on top.

If I'm going out I use a touch of YSL Touche Eclat under the eyes to help conceal the bags!

I have the Laura Geller stuff, and it does look good, but I find it looks a bit too powdered on my skin after a while. I’m now using Rimmel London Radiance Brick, it’s a fiver from Amazon and I find it’s great for giving you a quick sun-kissed glow! 😊

I'm another Laura Geller fan I use the baked one. Had to try 3 different shades before getting a general day one. So have a medium (for me thats a tan!) a fair one for everyday and porcelain for non summer use
It goes on easy in minutes with a decent size stubby brush.

I too am an advocate for Laura Geller! At 66 I use it everyday - quick to apply with a good brush, light to wear and gives me a healthy look with the bronzer ! I’d recommend!

I bought the Laura Geller powder foundation and brush and am very disappointed. Difficult to load on to brush, looks obvious on skin and fails to cover blemishes. The JML powder bought in Asda for quarter of price is much more effective.

I think that technique of application is more relevant to a good result than the price of the products.

Im 66 too and started using the baked foundation in ‘fair’, a primer, blusher and mascara.
Its easy to apply, light but you can add extra layers if you wish. Its quite natural looking and you dont feel slathered in a thick covering as you sometimes do with liquid foundation.
