Review 1 for Balance - N - Brighten
PERFECTS PALE SKIN-BUY IF YOU CAN FIND IT 75% OFF
-04.28.10
Quick Take: sheer coverage, mutes too bold blush
I paid full price for this wonderful powder, but it's on sale for 75% off. Laura Geller's Balance - N - Brighten in Fair is perfect for my pale skin. Although it's really made to even out skin tones, with or without foundation, I've used this OVER some of my blushes and bronzers because my skin is so pale. If a blush, lightly applied, it still to bright or bold for my skin, this calms the color down, so it looks more natural. I'm really pleased with this. While it's not in stock online, you might still be able to find it in Sephora (stores). Buy it if you can find it. It's wonderful.

Review 3 for Balance - N - Brighten
apparently discontinued by sephora
-11.07.09
Quick Take: sheer coverage, lasted for about six months
I bought this (fair) at sephora in San Antonio and I love it. I have compared it by putting my old powder on half my face and this on the other, and it even makes yuck foundation look passable. It has been "temporarily out of stock" for a long time, so I guess I'll have to find another source.

Love the Balance ^ Brighten

This is the best ever in providing even skin tone - I tend to have redness in patches on my face...this product solves that issue. I love it. And you cannot put it on too heavy...it is amazing!

Review 6 for Balance - N - Brighten
My new favorite!
-10.29.09
Quick Take: soft shimmer, sheer coverage
This powder is great. I have mild acne and some uneven color (redness & dark spots) left over from past break outs & this powder covers it all. I use it as a foundation and in place of a pressed powder if I need to touch up after work. This product did not make me break out & feels light on the skin. I was using the Bare Minerals products for a while but always felt like I had too much make up on and that the powder made my skin look dry & dull. This product blends well and makes you look like your skin is naturally bright and clear. I also purchased the “Bronze & Brighten (Fair)” & love the bronzer too!

i always buy this and it is the best foundation i've ever used, I have oily skin so it helps absorb the oil. i also have mild acne and it covers EVERYTHING!!!! i look like i have flawless skin. I will continue to buy this wonderful product!!!=] The real deal concealer is also very good for covering up any flaws.

Review 8 for Balance - N - Brighten
It works as described
-10.12.09
Quick Take: great coverage
This was a huge surprise. I originally got Balance - N - Brighten in a kit with eyeshadows and lipstick and didn't think it would do much. It works extremely well on my blotchy skin (dark spots and some redness). I use this when I don't want to use a liquid foundation. It definitely covers but in such a way that it really enhances your skin and makes it really natural looking. It is by far the best powder foundation I've tried and never looks like powder on.

Review 13 for Balance - N - Brighten
fresh and natural
-10.01.09
Quick Take: light, natural, good coverage
I love this! I have a lot of red in my skin (I'm a strawberry blond and though fair complected - still lots of red). On my 12 hr shifts at work I use Laura Geller's foundation primer, I love my makeup forever matte foundation, and then sweep this powder on top. I rarely get oily, and it lasts all day! All 12 hrs! On days I don't work, I just use the primer and sweep this over it. It has a natural look, covers well, and I think it even has some bronzing to it. No bronzer needed! I will definitely buy again.

Balance N Brighten
-09.30.09
Quick Take: sheer coverage
I LOVE this product!!! I have NO time in the morning to put makeup on before I take the kids to school. I just use this (and Laura Geller concealer pencil) -- a tiny bit of bluch and lipstick and I am READY. So fast -- and makes my skin look fantastic.

The Perfect Match
-09.29.09
Quick Take: perfect med/deep skin tones
I love this BNB... I have dark brown patches on my face so I stipple LG phenomanal make-up on those areas and follow-up with the BNB, its light and airy. I have extremely oily skin and this does not change color, I feel like I have nothing on. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT !

Review 17 for Balance - N - Brighten
Love, love balance and brighten!
-09.29.09
Quick Take: soft shimmer, sheer coverage, can be layered for more coverage, imparts a healthy glow
This is my second purchase of this product. I love how nicely it goes on, and the brush you can buy with it is of a high quality - probably makes the product go on smoothly. It has nice coverage, but not too much, and people tell me I look radiant and healthy -- which is a big accomplishment considering I just finished chemotherapy for breast cancer! I wore this all through my treatments as well, and people kept telling me how healthy I looked, so I figured I would keep buying it!

Review 19 for Balance - N - Brighten
Love it!
-09.20.09
Quick Take: can be good sheer to medium coverage
I absolutely love this foundation. A couple of sweeps of it and the coverage is perfect! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is it doesn't contain an SPF. To me that is important in a foundation. I've been a BE girl for years & always hated that it seemed like half my foundation ended up down my sink due the the loose powder mess. Not a problem with this. I also got the oil blotting powder for extra protection against oil build up and use it as a mid day touch up powder. Love both! I plan on trying her eye shadows and blushes as well. Wonderful foundation. :-)

Your first won't be your last!

Quick Take: sheer coverage, natuaral look
I have enjoyed this product for a very long time. It covers nicely, as I have redness and it blends well to do the job. It also is portable since it is the baked product, gives a natural, not overly made up look.
