Laura Geller Baked Balance-n-Brighten is one of the rare foundations that has not fully failed my grease face. It comes in multiple shades, bakes into a soft powder, and gives coverage without that heavy, melting feeling I get from some cream bases. It is not perfect forever, nothing is for me yet, but it is the one I keep reaching for when I want something that feels lighter than liquid. If cream foundations blotch on you too, this powder route is worth a try.
Longtime favourite in powder-foundation roundups for a brighter, set finish.
Oily-skin reviewers often like the powder finish for everyday wear; shade matching still matters so swatch if you can.
