I use balance and brighten medium over Dr. Denese day cream which is tinted and it works for my skin.

I am a natural redhead - very fair and freckled - the B&B was very muddy on my coloring - even the lightest shade.

If I had to choose between B&B and IT Celebration, I would choose B&B. Yes, it does have talc, but the coverage is better. A third and I think superior choice is Tarte Amazonian Clay Powder foundation. It has no talc, great coverage and does not look at all cakey. It also comes in a wide variety of shades.

I prefer B & B...it's very forgiving. I can out it on in the car w/o a mirror ...add some LG Pink Grapefruit blush and get compliments on my skin.

I wish Laura would make a B &B with a Glowy choice...not sparkly, but more dewy looking.

I personally love B & B. It makes my skin look more luminous and it isn't heavy. IT just didn't do it for me. My skin appeared 'flat' with no luminosity. I would imagine the type of moisturizer you use could give you different results, but for me i will stay with B & B even over Laura's other powder foundations.

IT's powder sinks into any hint of a wrinkle you have, it is also very drying on my skin. I can't use it everyday, or my skin will be parched. Balance and Brighten is just O.K.

I have used both. I prefer the celebration. It doesn't settle in my lines. I have an oily complexion. The B & B made my Complexion muddy.

Between the two I like B&B ... However, I do have to say that after a few hours it starts to look dark and muddy which is not a good look .. it has to be " touched up" but, I still prefer it to IT
