I'm stocking up while it's on sale.
At 31, I’ve been grappling with cakey foundation more than I had in my 20s; similarly, my under-eye concealer is increasingly less helpful, as it nestles into crevices created by my newfound fine lines. (My mother has lamented these very beauty woes for as long as I can remember; I’d rolled my eyes as a teen, but I’ve become increasingly sympathetic.)
In searching for makeup that smooths skin sans settling into, and exacerbating, fine lines, I learned of Laura Geller; a brand Oprah has praised in the past, as has Vanna White.
I’ve tried its best-selling foundation, which delivers on its skin-smoothing promises perfectly. I’m so impressed, in fact, I’m snapping up another of the brand’s complexion products, its Ideal Fix Concealer. Better yet, everything (including the concealer) is 55 percent off, plus an additional 10 percent off when you use the code JLY10 at checkout. Hurry, deals end July 5.
Laura Geller The Ideal Fix Concealer
Orig. $26 $9 at Laurageller.com
Formulated specifically for mature skin, Laura Geller’s The Ideal Fix Concealer is a highly pigmented, ultra-creamy coverup with a smooth, skin-like finish. Intended for use anywhere on the face—as a conventional concealer, a foundation, or both—it blurs imperfections without appearing dry, cakey, or settling into fine lines throughout the day.
This concealer fights lines, in fact, per the brand, via an ingredient called paracress extract. The formula also features vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that fends off skin-aging free radicals while imparting instant softness. Glycerin is also present, flooding skin with long-lasting hydration—and, in turn, plumping fine lines and mitigating midday dryness.

While the product is incredibly versatile, I’m eager to swipe it beneath my eyes, where my dark shadows—and recently, fine lines—reside. Shopper acclaim has given me hope. According to one reviewer, who is over 55, it’s the “best” concealer they’ve tried in light of “how bright it makes [their] eyes” appear. Another shopper, who is over 65, loves how the formula “covers” imperfections exceptionally well without “looking chalky.” Finally, yet another fan over 65 says it “conceals red patches and dark spots.”
