Powder Foundation Questions

Sweet_Serenity · ‎01-22-2016

Hoping someone might be able to help me. Interested in powder foundations. Laura Geller B&B or IT Celebrate illuminating. 58 dry to combo skin. Liquid no longer works. Thank you for any help.🌷

I'm almost old enough to be your mother and I use IT, the original in the black compact. I have no problems with it looking cakey or sitting in my many fine lines. Maybe because I use a good facial moisturizer first. I hated the one in the silver compact with the 50 spf (or maybe it's white I forget), ordered that one by mistake one time, yuck.

@Sweet_Serenity - I have both of the ones you mentioned, and I like them both! The IT illuminating gives me a little more coverage than the B&B, but you can always layer the B&B. I tried the regular IT Celebration foundation, and I like the illuminating one so much better. My skin really does look brighter! I also have Laura's Balance and Glow Illuminating foundation. I prefer that over her regular B&B too. Both brands will give you a nice coverage, and what I like about them is you can go light to heavy, whichever you prefer. (I prefer a medium coverage, and some days I just do a light dusting.)

Do you wear primer? Reviews on Youtbe better illuminating, Original celebration reviews not as positive. Thank you.

I am in your age range and have dry, sensitive skin. I really like LG B&B. It goes on as a powder but it doesn't look like a powder. It really just looks like your skin but better. This one always gets my vote. The compact lasts a long time so it is budget friendly for me.

@Sweet_Serenity - I do wear primer, over my sunscreen. My favorite is Laura's Spackle in Champagne (I'm warm complected).

I don't care for either. My favorite powdered foundation is. Laura Geller Baked Elements.

@Sweet_Serenity, Responding strictly based on the two powder foundations you asked about, I would go with Laura Geller's Balance-N-Brighten. It's Illuminated Celebration is fine, but if you do go with that brand I suggest the original regular Celebration.

If you are open to other powder foundations to consider Laura Geller's Double Take and Lancome's Dual Finish are two which I love.
