This is my HG foundation! - 11.12.09
Quick Take: moisturizing, full coverage, fragrance-free

I've tried so many foundations over the years...looking for one that has significant coverage, not greasy feeling, and comes in a color that matches my skin perfectly. Not an easy task! Thank goodness I tried this foundation...I will never need to try another. I have fair skin and I use the color "FAIR"...it is an absolute perfect match. Great coverage too, and it lasts all day! It is fragrance-free, which I love, and it doesn't clog pores. The pump dispenser is really great too. LOVE IT!!!!

I bought this in the lightest shade and it made me look like a corpse. The color is very flat and drab. I could not wear it through the day. I took one good look at it in the sunlight and went right back into the bathroom and washed it all off. I took mine back to Sephora and got a refund.

Great - 10.13.09
This is my first liquid foundation, and I have been trying on almost all the different kinds of liquid foundation in the store before I bought this one. It is very light not oily at all, Blends in with my skin pretty well, and unless you apply a lot on your face, it isn't cakey at all. I think I'm going to buy the primer and counselor of this brand soon too.

get a new bottle/dispenser - 10.11.09
Quick Take: moisturizing

I love the product, great coverage, but the bottle/dispenser is very wasteful and at these ridiculous prices, I do not care to waste a drop. when you get to the end of the bottle, it tends to back up and not come out of the dispenser. Please get new packaging that is not so wasteful.
Sincerely,
Cookinggram

Smooth as silk - 10.07.09
Quick Take: moisturizing

This foundation is very...soft, if that makes sense. It goes on smoothly, is weightless, moist and blends well. It is not heavy coverage but you can definitely layer it, if needed. It is quite pricey and I'll be interested to see how long one bottle will last me. I also have not had a problem with creasing, like I have with other foundations (like on my eyelids). I don't, however, like the packaging. It comes in this big box that seems unnecessary and the bottle design is quite strange and bulky. My like for product itself does outweigh the packaging flaws, though, for me.
Will definitely buy again if it lasts several months.

Okay... not great... better foundations out there - 10.07.09
Quick Take: yucky

I ran out of my Dior Skin Nude so my mom had this foundation that she didn't love and gave it to me to hold me over. Goes on too velvety and does not last long at all. I live in Louisiana where it is very humid still in October and it literally falls off and it is kinda clumpy when it comes off. Gets on clothes/phone screen very easily. Do not recommend. The color is nice though.

I really want to love this foundation - but I don't. It's good - not phenomenal. The color is a little washed out and something is just not quite right. It feels great, and gives decent coverage... After this bottle is done I probably won't buy again.

Foundation goes on smooth, no extra lines, covers dark and/or red spots. Stays all day, very comfortable. Doesn't feel like you are wearing foundation. Bottle design is great, easy to use, no mess or spillage.

Great! - 09.23.09
I purchased this for the first time and am very impressed! I'm a 50 + woman with decent skin but do have some areas that are more red and in need of a cover up. I like using this foundation followed but a dusting of the balance & brighten. I find the result to be beautiful and long lasting, give it a try!

Laura Geller Phenomenal Foundation - 09.11.09
Ms. Geller gets a A+ for this wonderful foundation. I like a light foundation that doesn't ssettle into pores or look cakey. Because I'm over 60, and my skin has never been particularly good, I've been looking for light coverge with substance. Phenomenal Foundation has it all--the look, the feel, the smoothness of an awesome light foundation, and the ability to provide coverage as well. If you try it, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Favorite foundation ever! - 09.02.09
Quick Take: moisturizing, great coverage, beautiful sheer-looking glow

I've been using Phenomenal Foundation for about two years and I just love it!

I have large pores and old acne scars. This foundation covers everything and doesn't make me look like I have a thick layer of plaster on my face. It provides perfect coverage with a sheer-looking glow.

GREAT FOUNDATION - 08.18.09
Quick Take: moisturizing, silky

Really love this foundation! I am 50 and have very good but rather dry skin and this foundation is just perfect for me. I will say that the Medium is somewhat darker. I have light skin and should have bought the light. That being said, I will simply order the right shade next time. LADIES...GIVE THIS A TRY.

Absolutely phenomenal! - 08.13.09
Quick Take: moisturizing, long lasting, non irritating

I have never felt the urge to write a review for any product, but I am beyond impressed with this foundation. Not only does it apply smooth, it doesn't clog up my pores, it doesn't cause breakouts, and it feels as if i don't have makeup on. Prior to using this product, I used MUFE HD Foundation and HD Primer and broke out all over my face. My face was incredibly itchy and red. I discovered that MUFE's foundation had talc has one of their ingredients. Thank god this foundation is talc free. I apply Laura Geller's Spackle make up primer prior to applying this foundation and my makeup lasts all day! I have oily and acne prone skin and liquid foundation tends to slide off my face by mid afternoon. But when I applied Laura Geller's Spackle and Phenomenal Foundation, my makeup stayed throughout the day! This foundation doesn't really cover up the big zits, but it does a great job of covering the small ones and the discoloration that acne scars leave behind. Overall, its a great foundation if you're looking for a sheer to medium coverage and if you want makeup that lasts through the cold, the heat, and the humidity!

Wonderful foundation - 08.08.09
This was my first purchase of Laura Geller foundation. I use it over the primer/spakle, and it goes on smoothly like glass. Great coverage, flawless look. I have sensitive skin, so I tried this out in the store with assistant doing my face. I didn't break out or have any type of reaction. Will purchase again. Higlhly recommend.

This stuff is great! - 08.08.09
I bought this for my mother who had recently fell and bruised up her whole face very badly. This foundation covered all the bruising, but still felt light and comfortable. We figured that whatever my mother used to cover the bruising would just be short-term, then she would go back to her regular foundation; however, she won't stop using this she loves it so much!

It is Phenomenal - 08.07.09
Quick Take: moisturizing, sheer coverage

I am on my third bottle of this awesome foundation. It is light, but not too sheer. It covers smoothly and evenly and leaves my face with just the right amount of "tone," feeling soft and not "made up." It lasts all day long too - what a bonus! This is one of my favorite must use daily products.
