Laura Geller Beauty is a mid range makeup brand from the United States, founded in 1997 by Laura Geller. It's best known for its Italian 'baked' cream-to-powder formulas, Baked Balance-n-Brighten foundation and Pro-aging positioning for 40+.

Laura Geller Beauty was founded in 1997 by New York makeup artist Laura Geller, who built the brand around a signature Italian "baking" technique — cream-to-powder pigments slow-baked on terracotta tiles for a soft, luminous, marbled finish. The hero product, Baked Balance-n-Brighten Color Correcting Foundation, became a QVC and Ulta staple thanks to its buildable, forgiving coverage that flatters rather than flattens texture.

While much of the industry chases a Gen-Z audience, Laura Geller has leaned into "pro-aging" — openly marketing to women 40 and over who feel overlooked by youth-obsessed launches. That positioning, combined with a devoted QVC following and broad Ulta distribution, has given the brand fresh momentum and a spot on BeautyMatter's Future50, more than two decades after its baked foundation debuted. It's most often compared to bareMinerals, Physicians Formula, and IT Cosmetics for its complexion-first, skin-flattering approach.
