I have been playing with the WTFoundation, Face Stick, and Miracle Balm in Dusty Rose all weekend long. I am almost 51 years old And have reactive, sensitive combo skin with rosacea. I love this foundation. It truly mimics skin, and for such a light coverage, it has been the only one that has diminished the rosacea. Yes, it is a whole new level of dewy, but the Chantecaille Blur Powder really calms that extra shine. The miracle balm is tacky, but I add powder on top of that too and in the end, my face just feels like it’s been moisturized and a slight hint of color peeks through. The makeup really sticks too. It doesn’t break up where my glasses sit, and around the nose has stayed together. The Face Pencil is a hero product. You will totally like it. Great for spot correction and under eyes. Between Jones Road and Westman Atelier, i feel like I’ve got all my bases covered for amazing, natural, skincare enriched beauty products!
I do the same! Powder blush over the balm, it does work like magic for me😉 I also have some rosacea and I’d love trying this foundation of truly resembles skin and it’s light.
What do you use for skincare? You sound similar to me, except I don’t have rosacea. I can’t wear 99% of the foundations out there. This reminds me of one that was discontinued from Bobbi Brown years ago, so she’s always been ahead of the curve it seems.
@@wendyraye I use Biologique Recherche cleanser, P50 lotion, and serum Erythos. Then I use May Lindstrom Jasmine Garden mist, Youth Dew serum, and Blue Cocoon face balm. My exfoliation is all from P50 as retinol and vitamin c irritates me.
First of all let me say that I have oily skin and I have no trouble at all using WTF or Miracle Balms. The problem is that so many folks try these out without really understanding the product itself. WTF is a tinted moisturizer. For me it’s actually healing on my skin, oh and let me say I suffer eczema as well, but with Jones Road products most of the ingredients is very soothing and I no longer struggle with eczema breakouts. So back to the WTF, you can’t wear a moisturizer over moisturizers! You’re creating an oil slick yourself. I’ve even seen other influencers try it over the hippie stick and other Jones Road moisturizers… No wonder it doesn’t work you’re doing it wrong. Having oily skin, I first put on WTF, a very thin layer. Then I use the face pencils in color correcting shades under my eyes, and one that matches my skin perfectly around my nose chin and any place there are blemishes or redness still showing. The warmth of my hands blends it all in perfectly. It lasts all day. All the oils and emollient ingredients in these products indicate that you can’t layer them all on top of each other over and over again without creating a gooey mess. Some days I just use miracle balm and the face pencils. I never would’ve left the house without full face make up in the past. But Jones Road has literally made my skin better. I no longer am told how nice my make up looks. Instead I keep hearing how beautiful my skin is. I wish that Beauty influencers would first learn and understand the product they are reviewing so that they can give an actual useful review. Not knowing how the product is designed to work or how do use it is not helpful to anybody.
So you don't wear sunscreen? A foundation that doesn't allow you to wear sunscreen underneath is not an ideal foundation for people with oily skin. This is why us oily girls have such a hard time finding products that work for us. Because we need to be able to layer things.
@@Kay2be2mr I was just going to mention sunscreen. If we absolutely can't use any other moisturizer including spf for this to work, it just isnt worth it. Protecting skin from skin cancer is more important than "looking" natural.
I will never go without spf 30 or more. With that said, there are plenty of sunscreens that have different texture and slippage. I personally love a dewy feel to my “makeup” .
I love that your freckles show through just a tad. Wonderful! I really don’t care for the mask look. Everyone begins to look the same with that look. This look is great on you! Love your commentary and honest assessment!
I am 53 and I hate wearing foundation that looks obvious on the skin. Most foundations settle into small wrinkles etc, but I find that this one does not. I have searched far and wide for an everyday foundation that is more like a tinted mousturizer with a little bit of coverage. WTF Joans Road is my new favourite, it just evens out my skin tone without heavy coverage and I feel like its nourishing my skin throughout the day and keeps it looking fresh and vibrant. I am ok with some natural flaws peeking through. On days I want those covered for more formal situations I use the pencil as well. I always start with an SPF 50 underneath my skin applied about 5-10 minutes before using WTF. The only thing that would make WTF absolutely perfect is if they added an SPF component to it . I love this stuff.
I love WT foundation! Used the right way. It is a fabulous foundation for Mature or dry skin. I have never been able to put foundation under my eyes until WT foundation.
As the products sat on your skin they started to look better and better, very much that natural and effortless look. Bobbi Brown is a well respected artist in her field, I trust that any brand she’s behind will have excellent products.
Ok. So I am going to go out on a limb here and say your skin at the first check-in looks utterly flawless. The ultimate no-makeup look. Damn. Now I have to hit up Credo and order some! Thanks for the video!
I’ve been watching many videos on the miracle balms and foundation as I’m trying to decide if I should bite the bullet or not. Yours is the best video for sure.
Thanks for the review. Even though you don’t like the feel of the products, your skin looks very plump and fresh looking. Really looks great and natural
I’ve been experimenting for months either both Miracle Balm and WTF and watching the Jones Road videos. There’s a DEFINITE Learning curve, but I AM FINALLY GETTING THERE.! Don’t give up!
Thank you so much for this thorough review! I am such a Bobbi fan and have been so disappointed seeing the WTF get trashed on social media by people who aren’t using it how it was meant to, and don’t have the skin type she created it for. This was so helpful!
Saw the TikTok of this that went viral and MASSIVELY rolled my eyes. Home girl scooped like a third of it and plastered it all over her face and said she didn’t like it 🙄 It’s not for me since I’m super oily, but it’s nice to see a balanced review of this.
The Jones Road foundation seems like a new version of the old Bobbi Brown tinted moisturizing balm. I loved it for my dry skin so will probably give this one a try (I also keep small plastic scoopers to use with products in jars.)
My mother and I have used the tinted moisturizing balm for years until it was no longer available guess we know why now. ;) The Jones Road WTF has the same texture, finish and scent as the original Bobbi Brown balm.
@Loves Dogs I have to say after using It a bit more it is not identical but it is the closest anything has come to the original tinted balm. This one has more pigment, slightly less balmy texture and mine has started to separate. I have to stir the oils back in before I use it. Miss that original soooo much. Why on earth did they do away with it. So many people were upset about it.
I’m 67 and needed a foundation. I’ve spent way too much money and have way too many foundation brushes and such. Most makeup was not dewy or natural looking on me despite the expense. So I spent my last bit of money on wtf and I LOVE it. Put a dab on my hand and rubbed it in like moisturizer and I look beautiful! Evened my skin tone. Moisturized my dry skin ( I put on moisturizer first). I did not have to use much at all. I love it!
You look wonderful wearing these products, especially at the window check in. So beautiful. I’m. 66 y/o and I have not been happy with any foundations. I just received the miracle balm and based on your review, I going to order the WTF. Thank you!
I had the EXACT same experience with the foundation, and couldn’t agree more about the jar packaging…a squeeze tube would’ve been so much better. Despite the messy jar, I ended up liking the foundation a LOT! I do find that lightly powdering helps it set down quicker, but finding the right powder to pair with took some experimenting for sure. Armani NeoNude Fusion powder (now Armani Luminous Silk Glow Fusion) ended up being the winner, it melds beautifully with the foundation, helps it set down, and the look lasts all day!
I don’t know if I missed you reviewing the Jones Road mascara but if not - it is a-mazing. My eye lashes come out thick and dark and long and the stuff doesn’t shift all day. You have to double cleanse to get it off but it’s sooo worth the effort.
I like light coverage but I can’t deal with an open jar like that for foundation. And I really can’t deal with anything that does not set and remains tacky. My hair would stick and I’d be constantly irritated. Thanks for reviewing this Michele! 🙌
I’m 66 and live in a dry climate so WTF seems like a good fit, so I ordered some. I hope the color works. I also ordered the pencil for discoloration and the balm. Can’t wait to try it.
Really surprised how well eye products wore for a whole day. It looked so creamy in the pot so I expected this to crease like crazy but it didn't. Thanks fo this test!
Hey Michele, so glad you reviewed this foundation. Since I’m quite a bit older than you I remember the days when Bobbi Brown launched her first brand. It’s so cool for me to see her bring out Jones Road and “do it all over again”. With that said, I’m hesitant about the WTF product. Thanks you for showing all these products up close and personal for us.
Michele, thank you so much for doing this full face! I think the WFT would have been a hard pass for me when I lived in a humid climate, but your review is making me think it would be the perfect product for me now that I live where there is no moisture at all. It's been such an adventure finding new good makeup for this season of my life ... because I had to use all-powder products before and now I think I need all-cream, etc. As always, you look amazing and I SO appreciate your reviews!
“That perspiration glow, right before you really start sweating!”😂😂😂 Best description EVER! I appreciate your review, hard to believe why is what with it blowing up e everywhere.
I totally agree with your review. I just finished watching Allana D's review from about 5 months ago as well and she looked like you put Vaseline with that lip and cheek balm. That miracle balm is not a miracle.
@@dmcarine I'm the ultimate laziest make up person. I rarely wear it and have fallen for jones road stuff as it is SO easy. Takes me maybe five mins to do my face? It's not a lot of work at all (not to me anyway!)
I really like the foundation. I also have dry skin and it works very well with me. It didnt take that long for ne but everyone is different ❤️. I recently got one Eyeshadow and the new lip tints so I will review them soon. But so far the foundation is great for me. I'm not a fan of the packaging but it's not a deal breaker for me. I appreciate your review and check ins ❤️
Your review of the foundation started out pretty negative, but I think your check in in front of the window showed it looked great! In fact, this is one of best looking foundations I have seen on you. The miracle balm looked great too- I for one do not car if it feels moist or tacky- better that tight powder-face!
I feel like WTF is supposed to be similar to Bobbi’s former favorite, “EXTRA Tinted Moisturizing Balm” from her old line. I loved that product, but I’m really leary of this one. And my experience with The Miracle Balm was just like yours - STICKY! (And I adore Bobbi! I used to work for her. )
Off topic, but fyi to all, I was at the Nordstrom Dior counter yesterday to purchase blush and they were sold out because Dior is reformulating powders and blushes
I have been wondering about Jones Road products so thank you for the review of the products! Although one seems to need "tacky tolerance," Jones Road make up looks so natural and no-make up on you. And, yes, I agree with you on the packaging of the foundation. The shimmer looks just right! Again, thanks! 🙏💜
I love how the balm looks on your skin, unpowdered. I like the idea of finger pressed make up (glossier vibes) but I’m shocked at the open pot of foundation. Could be pretty nasty by the time it’s used up (and I like to use make up through to the end). So it’s aptly named. V helpful review.
Wow 🤩 Your skin looks great. What have you been using? I can see a noticeable difference in the texture and glow of your skin. Just beautiful. Please give me your secrets. Lol ❤️
I love the Miracle Balm. I put very little on and I have actually had compliments! The texture and smell are no problem for me. I use it on my lips too.
love this foundation. I don’t wear heavy makeup and like to see my skin. If you need more coverage in some areas use the foundation pencils. This line is not for heavy makeup, complex application people.
I was waiting for your review on this! Your skin looked great, like your skin but better! I just tried this too and had a similar experience. I only applied with my fingers with my usual skincare and spf, no powder, and found that my combo-dehydrated skin absorbed it well over time. It gave a soft blur that you get with nicely hydrated skin. Thanks for giving it a fair shot! Try her new lip tint that just came out, I think you would like it!
You look beautiful Michele!! Thank you for demoing the Jones Road foundation. I’m with you and don’t like sticky cheeky products but you look gorgeous as usual!!
I was interested in seeing a review of the WTF foundation! Thank you so much for the review! I really enjoy Jones Road as I WAS a HUGE BOBBI BROWN client, but stopped using the products once she left the brand. I found out about a tip with the Miracle Balm from an Instagram Live you may already know about., You have to break “the seal” that is on the top. I liken it to using a cleansing balm that is tacky, but once massage on the skin becomes an oil. So what I have found works best is once the top seal is broken, I take some of the balm and put it on the back of my hand, warm it up, then tap on the cheeks. I didn’t know it had a top seal until I saw the Instagram Live and I did not like it at first. I find that warming it up on the back of my hand and then applying it on my cheeks, really helps with the tackiness. I am also a fan of the face pencils, and the brow pencils. Thanks again for your honest reviews on the products, that is why I watch your videos, because it is much appreciated. 😊
Really really great video. Great demeanor and beautiful personality. Needed this honest review. Although not incredibly expensive, it’s still an investment. Wish there were influencers of my skin complexion, that reviews Jones Road. It’s very limited and finding the correct shade for the foundation from online is a challenge. Thanks for the review!
Hi Michele. Lisa's foundation was definitely very much separated. Thankfully, she was able to remedy the situation. It's a shame that the balm doesn't dry down. I dislike anything tacky on my face. I'm sure it transfers as well. The highlighters/face oils look gorgeous, especially the pink. Lisa also had a hard time doing her waterline with the pencils. I'm with you Michele. I don't like minty glosses. Thanks for trying the brand out! ❤❤❤
This foundation is so lovely on you! It is so natural and radiant looking. I love all of these other products on you too. Bobbi Brown does the no makeup makeup look well! The Miracle Balm looks pretty sticky and poorly pigmented, though... You should try the new Guerlain Orchidée Imperiale liquid foundation if you ever get the chance. It is my most favorite foundation now! It is so natural looking, radiant and glowing. It has a nice medium coverage and it comes in a beautiful glass bottle with a gold cap too. It's only available in select markets and I'm excited to have tried it and to have it now, since I just moved to Melbourne from New Zealand two weeks and loving the glamor, the luxury stores like Chanel and Hermés and of course amazing makeup you can get here!
I’m sighing cause I’m that old that I remember Bobbie Brown launching her NEW make up line. Fact is, she made my entire face st Henri Bendel...nobody knew who she was! Well, I looked radiant, especially with all those new brown tones on my eyes. I really don’t understand why she started with this new Jones Road product...can’t ever beat the original.
Who has time to wait that long for their foundation to look decent? The oil highlighters sound nice and I’d like to try the eyeshadows as well. Thanks Michele.
I haven’t had any success with Jones Road. I too don’t get the balm and my hair was sticking to my cheeks (not a sexy look). As for the eyeliner., I felt like I had to rub it on hard to get any pigmentation and at the end of the day, it smeared. The highlighter is tempting because it looked so light and pretty on you. You are right about the foundation; it looked better later in the day. The color was also perfect for you.
Hi Michele :) I can't wait to hear your thoughts on this new foundation. It's all over TikTok. I feel like this is the most discussed new release lately. xoxo
I feel that makeup should be easy to use to be a product I will reach for. Many of us are busy in our lives and don't have time for excess effort to make products " work" for us
Thank you so much for this honest in-depth review. I've been on the fence what to order from this line and I decided on the WTF Beige, Face Oil cool rose and the concealer stick in light med. Fingers crossed they work out. I have normal in summer and a bit dry in winter. I agree with having the foundation in a squeeze tube instead of a pot. Been using Tarte Tinted moisturizer for years but found it to be not emollient enough and the colors are limited.
You said it in a nutshell, Michele. I agree re the WTF. I have dry, mature-ish, redish skin. I thought it just gave me an evened out glow. Another detailed review is Shelbey Wilsons (she liked it) and Marnie G (she didn't like it). I think people need to understand that it isn't a foundation in the true sense of the word. I see it as a balm that has slight coverage. I bought the spatula which i clean off after each use. A squeeze tube or pump would be best. Thanks for the excellent review Michele ❤😍
I'm glad I watched your review, I was tempted to get this to use in place of moisturizer and foundation, but I don't care for products that you have to really work in on the face, I like mine to glide. We don't need to do any extra pulling, mother nature is already doing that.
This looks so beautiful on you. I love the concealer pencil and mascara from JR but the rest of the line… this is the first review where it looks this good.
Thank you for another well thought out review. I liked how the blush and shimmer oil looked on you, but I don't like that sticky feeling, either. My sweaty face probably just isn't the best fit for these products, but could see how they could be lovely depending on skin type.
Michele, you made this look so good. Saw one girl put a ton of on and of course it looked a mess but let me tell you, you did a fantastic job. Love it on you.
I got the Dusty Rose and Bronze Miracle Balm too and I don't know...like I've used it three times and it felt like I was putting hard petroleum jelly on my face. There was barely any color and I don't even get it. I do want to try the WTF Foundation though.
I just got a miracle balm and I notice that it does set down after a few hours on me, as you noticed with the foundation. I think it will be a perfect fall/winter product for me.
I have now watched three reviews of this new product line and the consensus is remarkable. I think I will skip the foundation in favor of others I prefer. I will try the Patina shadow and the shimmering oils. Thank you, Michele. I also have dry skin and live in hot Los Angeles. A little radiance is my preference, but I don't like having to wait for it to settle and I am not wild about using my fingers to apply foundation.
I appreciate your review. I also wear the same Revive SPF. I’m not a fan of having any products that remain tacky to the touch, mainly because my hair will stick to it. I don’t generally wear face oil either. Will probably pass on the soft glazed donut! You are extremely blessed with great skin - I have pores and wrinkles that would probably be pronounced. But very nice to see what the JR range includes. Bobbi Brown was the first makeup artist who impressed me ‘back in the day.’ Xoxo Maureen
Was waiting for your opinion re Jones Road. I loved the look/shades you used as it was a soft, natural, good everyday look. I have always liked Bobbi Brown's products so when the Miracle Balm was soooo highly promoted it sounded interesting. So glad that you have the same comment re the "stickiness" factor...I felt unclean, like I needed to wash my face and my hair did stick to my eyelids and cheek area where I applied it. It never sat down. I tried powder but still felt grimy. There was an odor...not a fragrance...to the Miracle Balm also that never went away. At this time I'm hesitant to try the make up due to my tending towards oiliness and wondering which shade to purchase. Years ago I remember Lancome came in a glass jar and I remember not enjoying that for application ease then. Thank you for your honest opinion...made me feel better re the issues with the Balm as everyone seems to be so in love with it!!
Wow that blush stayed! I love westman atelier blush sticks but they don’t stay on at all … at least on my skin. Thanks for this review- will try the blush sticks for sure!
Thank you for the demo and reviews. This is the first video I have seen that involved proper application of the foundation and balm. I was really interested in the balm, but you persuaded me to try the oil instead. :-)
This has been the best review that I have seen on Jones Road products. I feel you despite me having combination skin. I only tried the face pencil. Its awesome for dark spots. You should give it a try. yet to try the WTF. Hope I can adopt this.
I've been really into Jones Road lately. Right now it's my go to brand and I really love the miracle balm. However, I HATE the cool gloss. Kinda hoping your review will convince them to remove the mint.
I love your makeup looks. I was on the fence about the miracle balm. I take a dab and rub in my hands and oat on. I use it on days where I’m not using foundation maybe just a tinted moisturizer.
Hi Michele, Thanks for the thorough review of Jones Road! Had high expectations bc it’s BB. I like how the make-up looked much more in the natural light. The patina shadow is so pretty. The foundation is something I would try. Like you, not so impressed with the cheek, lip and eyeliner. 🤗
I have mature dry skin and I use my fingers. It covers my redness and just makes my skin look fresh. I do have to set my face because It looks a little too dewey “greasy” if I don’t and I can imagine if you have long hair it will stick to your face without the powder. I also set my face balm with a fine powder blush or bronzer.
I think you’d like the tawny red-based miracle balm color. It’s so pigmented you can use less, also good for lips. The color is magical for a sunburnt-y look. I hate the foundation, too goopy for me.
I like the miracle balm at night and under a matte foundation….. it gives my matte foundation a more satin dewy look while still long wearing. I’ve had the Jones road foundation for a few days but haven’t tried it yet….hopefully I like it. It looks really good on you! So do the oils and blushes!!
Just used my miracle balm today. I bought the darkest shade to look like I had been at the beach. I used it all over, because on me it blends away.I had to use a it cosmetics powder illumination over it. I am still on the fence but I think my best choice would be the lightest or colorless one. To be more like a moisturizer.
As someone with combo to oily skin, I get nervous looking at how almost everything was balmy/creamy/oily. And Jone Road needs to be more generous with their pigments! I don’t really see anything… I think this line will suit those who has dry skin, starting with makeup or loving the super no makeup makeup look.
@@dollooz I have the same skin concerns. I love the foundation and all the products which pleasantly surprised me. I'm 35 and my pre-teens daughter's schoolmates all say I look like a teenager.

Your skin looks so well hydrated and natural - it seems like this line has a lot of winners in the "no makeup makeup day" category!

Moisturized my dry skin ( I put on moisturizer first). I did not have to use much at all. I love it!
You look wonderful wearing these products, especially at the window check in. So beautiful. I’m. 66 y/o and I have not been happy with any foundations. I just received the miracle balm and based on your review, I going to order the WTF. Thank you!
I had the EXACT same experience with the foundation, and couldn’t agree more about the jar packaging…a squeeze tube would’ve been so much better. Despite the messy jar, I ended up liking the foundation a LOT!
I do find that lightly powdering helps it set down quicker, but finding the right powder to pair with took some experimenting for sure. Armani NeoNude Fusion powder (now Armani Luminous Silk Glow Fusion) ended up being the winner, it melds beautifully with the foundation, helps it set down, and the look lasts all day!
Bobbi has a setting powder in jones road!
I don’t know if I missed you reviewing the Jones Road mascara but if not - it is a-mazing. My eye lashes come out thick and dark and long and the stuff doesn’t shift all day. You have to double cleanse to get it off but it’s sooo worth the effort.
First video I have watched by you, very honest yet gracious about the products. Thank you.
I like light coverage but I can’t deal with an open jar like that for foundation. And I really can’t deal with anything that does not set and remains tacky. My hair would stick and I’d be constantly irritated. Thanks for reviewing this Michele! 🙌
Totally agree
Also it seems to be just like her Extra Tinted moisturizing balm. It felt nice but I’m a “coverage” gal and need more than the no makeup look.
@@jensenon I used to freelance for Bobbi Brown Cosmetics and I thought the same thing. That product had serious loyalty from the customers it suited.
I’m 66 and live in a dry climate so WTF seems like a good fit, so I ordered some. I hope the color works. I also ordered the pencil for discoloration and the balm. Can’t wait to try it.
Really surprised how well eye products wore for a whole day. It looked so creamy in the pot so I expected this to crease like crazy but it didn't. Thanks fo this test!
“Sweaty glow”!!! Love it! You had me laughing out loud on this difficult day. Thank you!
You always look beautiful, anyway! ❤️
Hey Michele, so glad you reviewed this foundation. Since I’m quite a bit older than you I remember the days when Bobbi Brown launched her first brand. It’s so cool for me to see her bring out Jones Road and “do it all over again”. With that said, I’m hesitant about the WTF product. Thanks you for showing all these products up close and personal for us.
Thanks Maggie! ❤️
Michele, thank you so much for doing this full face! I think the WFT would have been a hard pass for me when I lived in a humid climate, but your review is making me think it would be the perfect product for me now that I live where there is no moisture at all. It's been such an adventure finding new good makeup for this season of my life ... because I had to use all-powder products before and now I think I need all-cream, etc. As always, you look amazing and I SO appreciate your reviews!
I agree with you that the foundation looks surprisingly better after hours. Thank you for testing it out😊
I hate it felt tacky. You look beautiful!!! So natural and glowing! 😍
Thanks for the candid review. Appreciate your sincerity.
“That perspiration glow, right before you really start sweating!”😂😂😂
Best description EVER!
I appreciate your review, hard to believe why is what with it blowing up e everywhere.
I totally agree with your review. I just finished watching Allana D's review from about 5 months ago as well and she looked like you put Vaseline with that lip and cheek balm. That miracle balm is not a miracle.
Humidity makes this balm and foundation feel absolutely gooey. And not everybody wants to wear powder.
“MOIST.” You kill me! 😂 I can’t deal with Jones Road. Her products are too difficult. I’m so glad you reviewed the foundation! Hugs to Miss Butters! ❤
The products really do seem like they take a lot of work, which is weird for a brand that seems to be about being easy. Meh. Not interested.
@@dmcarine I'm the ultimate laziest make up person. I rarely wear it and have fallen for jones road stuff as it is SO easy. Takes me maybe five mins to do my face? It's not a lot of work at all (not to me anyway!)
Interesting turn of events, Michele! Thanks for a thorough review!!! 🤗🤗
Very fresh pretty summer glow. looks like your skin perfected !! love all your demos!!
Thank you! ❤️
Love the thumbnail! That’s the exact face I had when i saw this foundation!
I really like the foundation. I also have dry skin and it works very well with me. It didnt take that long for ne but everyone is different ❤️. I recently got one Eyeshadow and the new lip tints so I will review them soon. But so far the foundation is great for me. I'm not a fan of the packaging but it's not a deal breaker for me.
I appreciate your review and check ins ❤️
Your review of the foundation started out pretty negative, but I think your check in in front of the window showed it looked great! In fact, this is one of best looking foundations I have seen on you. The miracle balm looked great too- I for one do not car if it feels moist or tacky- better that tight powder-face!
I too HATE THE GLOSS , BUT, you must use Jones Road Mascara, it’s wonderful!
I feel like WTF is supposed to be similar to Bobbi’s former favorite, “EXTRA Tinted Moisturizing Balm” from her old line. I loved that product, but I’m really leary of this one. And my experience with The Miracle Balm was just like yours - STICKY! (And I adore Bobbi! I used to work for her. )
Off topic, but fyi to all, I was at the Nordstrom Dior counter yesterday to purchase blush and they were sold out because Dior is reformulating powders and blushes
Oh noooooo 😮
oohhh nooooo noooo 😭😭 why they always to that !!!
I have been wondering about Jones Road products so thank you for the review of the products! Although one seems to need "tacky tolerance," Jones Road make up looks so natural and no-make up on you. And, yes, I agree with you on the packaging of the foundation. The shimmer looks just right! Again, thanks! 🙏💜
final look is ✨gorgeous✨ that blush stick shade is amazing on you!
I use the balm after my moisturizer and it work so well that way.
Amazing - Thank you so much! ❤️
I love how the balm looks on your skin, unpowdered. I like the idea of finger pressed make up (glossier vibes) but I’m shocked at the open pot of foundation. Could be pretty nasty by the time it’s used up (and I like to use make up through to the end). So it’s aptly named.
V helpful review.
Wow 🤩 Your skin looks great. What have you been using? I can see a noticeable difference in the texture and glow of your skin. Just beautiful. Please give me your secrets. Lol ❤️
I love the Miracle Balm. I put very little on and I have actually had compliments! The texture and smell are no problem for me. I use it on my lips too.
love this foundation. I don’t wear heavy makeup and like to see my skin. If you need more coverage in some areas use the foundation pencils. This line is not for heavy makeup, complex application people.
I have the black eyeliner and I only use it in my waterline. It's great! I also love the Miracle Balm. Never want to go without it. :)
I was waiting for your review on this! Your skin looked great, like your skin but better! I just tried this too and had a similar experience. I only applied with my fingers with my usual skincare and spf, no powder, and found that my combo-dehydrated skin absorbed it well over time. It gave a soft blur that you get with nicely hydrated skin. Thanks for giving it a fair shot! Try her new lip tint that just came out, I think you would like it!
You look beautiful Michele!! Thank you for demoing the Jones Road foundation. I’m with you and don’t like sticky cheeky products but you look gorgeous as usual!!
I was interested in seeing a review of the WTF foundation! Thank you so much for the review! I really enjoy Jones Road as I WAS a HUGE BOBBI BROWN client, but stopped using the products once she left the brand. I found out about a tip with the Miracle Balm from an Instagram Live you may already know about., You have to break “the seal” that is on the top. I liken it to using a cleansing balm that is tacky, but once massage on the skin becomes an oil. So what I have found works best is once the top seal is broken, I take some of the balm and put it on the back of my hand, warm it up, then tap on the cheeks. I didn’t know it had a top seal until I saw the Instagram Live and I did not like it at first. I find that warming it up on the back of my hand and then applying it on my cheeks, really helps with the tackiness. I am also a fan of the face pencils, and the brow pencils. Thanks again for your honest reviews on the products, that is why I watch your videos, because it is much appreciated. 😊
Really really great video. Great demeanor and beautiful personality. Needed this honest review. Although not incredibly expensive, it’s still an investment. Wish there were influencers of my skin complexion, that reviews Jones Road. It’s very limited and finding the correct shade for the foundation from online is a challenge. Thanks for the review!
Hi Michele. Lisa's foundation was definitely very much separated. Thankfully, she was able to remedy the situation.
It's a shame that the balm doesn't dry down. I dislike anything tacky on my face. I'm sure it transfers as well.
The highlighters/face oils look gorgeous, especially the pink.
Lisa also had a hard time doing her waterline with the pencils.
I'm with you Michele. I don't like minty glosses.
Thanks for trying the brand out! ❤❤❤
This foundation is so lovely on you! It is so natural and radiant looking. I love all of these other products on you too. Bobbi Brown does the no makeup makeup look well! The Miracle Balm looks pretty sticky and poorly pigmented, though...
You should try the new Guerlain Orchidée Imperiale liquid foundation if you ever get the chance. It is my most favorite foundation now! It is so natural looking, radiant and glowing. It has a nice medium coverage and it comes in a beautiful glass bottle with a gold cap too. It's only available in select markets and I'm excited to have tried it and to have it now, since I just moved to Melbourne from New Zealand two weeks and loving the glamor, the luxury stores like Chanel and Hermés and of course amazing makeup you can get here!
It’s not meant to be pigmented
I’m sighing cause I’m that old that I remember Bobbie Brown launching her NEW make up line. Fact is, she made my entire face st Henri Bendel...nobody knew who she was! Well, I looked radiant, especially with all those new brown tones on my eyes. I really don’t understand why she started with this new Jones Road product...can’t ever beat the original.
She sold her Bobbi Brown line to Estee Lauder..wanted to start something new.
Cuz she didn’t have control of her line
Who has time to wait that long for their foundation to look decent? The oil highlighters sound nice and I’d like to try the eyeshadows as well. Thanks Michele.
Michelle, thank you for this video and community. I had a feeling that this foundation was for older skin or dryer skin. Looking forward to using wtf.
I haven’t had any success with Jones Road. I too don’t get the balm and my hair was sticking to my cheeks (not a sexy look). As for the eyeliner., I felt like I had to rub it on hard to get any pigmentation and at the end of the day, it smeared. The highlighter is tempting because it looked so light and pretty on you. You are right about the foundation; it looked better later in the day. The color was also perfect for you.
Hi Michele :) I can't wait to hear your thoughts on this new foundation. It's all over TikTok. I feel like this is the most discussed new release lately. xoxo
Thanks Angela! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Your skin looks amazing in this video…wow.
I feel that makeup should be easy to use to be a product I will reach for. Many of us are busy in our lives and don't have time for excess effort to make products " work" for us
Perfectly said, Tina! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I had same reaction, I did not like it, but by the end of the day my skin looked great somewhat radiant. I'll keep working with it.
Thank you so much for this honest in-depth review. I've been on the fence what to order from this line and I decided on the WTF Beige, Face Oil cool rose and the concealer stick in light med. Fingers crossed they work out. I have normal in summer and a bit dry in winter. I agree with having the foundation in a squeeze tube instead of a pot. Been using Tarte Tinted moisturizer for years but found it to be not emollient enough and the colors are limited.
I read that if it separates you should mix it thoroughly 😊 do you feel that a buffing brush would work as well as fingers
You said it in a nutshell, Michele. I agree re the WTF. I have dry, mature-ish, redish skin. I thought it just gave me an evened out glow. Another detailed review is Shelbey Wilsons (she liked it) and Marnie G (she didn't like it). I think people need to understand that it isn't a foundation in the true sense of the word. I see it as a balm that has slight coverage. I bought the spatula which i clean off after each use. A squeeze tube or pump would be best. Thanks for the excellent review Michele ❤😍
I'm glad I watched your review, I was tempted to get this to use in place of moisturizer and foundation, but I don't care for products that you have to really work in on the face, I like mine to glide. We don't need to do any extra pulling, mother nature is already doing that.
This looks so beautiful on you. I love the concealer pencil and mascara from JR but the rest of the line… this is the first review where it looks this good.
Thank you for another well thought out review. I liked how the blush and shimmer oil looked on you, but I don't like that sticky feeling, either. My sweaty face probably just isn't the best fit for these products, but could see how they could be lovely depending on skin type.
Michele, you made this look so good. Saw one girl put a ton of on and of course it looked a mess but let me tell you, you did a fantastic job. Love it on you.
I got the Dusty Rose and Bronze Miracle Balm too and I don't know...like I've used it three times and it felt like I was putting hard petroleum jelly on my face. There was barely any color and I don't even get it. I do want to try the WTF Foundation though.
Thanks for the Jones Road review. I was so into trying because of all the hype but now I'm gonna stay with my RMS and Westman Atelier.
I just got a miracle balm and I notice that it does set down after a few hours on me, as you noticed with the foundation. I think it will be a perfect fall/winter product for me.
I had the same trouble with the miracle balm! I wanted to love it, but I just didn't like how sticky it felt on my skin!
❤️🙏🏻❤️
I have now watched three reviews of this new product line and the consensus is remarkable. I think I will skip the foundation in favor of others I prefer. I will try the Patina shadow and the shimmering oils. Thank you, Michele. I also have dry skin and live in hot Los Angeles. A little radiance is my preference, but I don't like having to wait for it to settle and I am not wild about using my fingers to apply foundation.
I appreciate your review. I also wear the same Revive SPF. I’m not a fan of having any products that remain tacky to the touch, mainly because my hair will stick to it. I don’t generally wear face oil either. Will probably pass on the soft glazed donut! You are extremely blessed with great skin - I have pores and wrinkles that would probably be pronounced. But very nice to see what the JR range includes. Bobbi Brown was the first makeup artist who impressed me ‘back in the day.’ Xoxo Maureen
Was waiting for your opinion re Jones Road. I loved the look/shades you used as it was a soft, natural, good everyday look. I have always liked Bobbi Brown's products so when the Miracle Balm was soooo highly promoted it sounded interesting. So glad that you have the same comment re the "stickiness" factor...I felt unclean, like I needed to wash my face and my hair did stick to my eyelids and cheek area where I applied it. It never sat down. I tried powder but still felt grimy. There was an odor...not a fragrance...to the Miracle Balm also that never went away. At this time I'm hesitant to try the make up due to my tending towards oiliness and wondering which shade to purchase. Years ago I remember Lancome came in a glass jar and I remember not enjoying that for application ease then. Thank you for your honest opinion...made me feel better re the issues with the Balm as everyone seems to be so in love with it!!
It’s all about how it looks on you . I have very dry sensitive aging skin . I think the miracle balm will look good on me
Wow that blush stayed! I love westman atelier blush sticks but they don’t stay on at all … at least on my skin. Thanks for this review- will try the blush sticks for sure!
I think your best makeup look is with Chanel. Always.
please would you share the information on your ring on your left hand - looks opal ?? LOVE happy for the review !
I have been looking forward to a review of this brand. Thanks!
Thank you for the demo and reviews. This is the first video I have seen that involved proper application of the foundation and balm. I was really interested in the balm, but you persuaded me to try the oil instead. :-)
Hi Michele! I am looking forward to trying this foundation. I think it looks really good on you.
This has been the best review that I have seen on Jones Road products. I feel you despite me having combination skin. I only tried the face pencil. Its awesome for dark spots. You should give it a try. yet to try the WTF. Hope I can adopt this.
I've been really into Jones Road lately. Right now it's my go to brand and I really love the miracle balm. However, I HATE the cool gloss. Kinda hoping your review will convince them to remove the mint.
What is this miracle balm
I love your makeup looks. I was on the fence about the miracle balm. I take a dab and rub in my hands and oat on. I use it on days where I’m not using foundation maybe just a tinted moisturizer.
Hi Michele, Thanks for the thorough review of Jones Road! Had high expectations bc it’s BB.
I like how the make-up looked much more in the natural light. The patina shadow is so pretty. The foundation is something I would try. Like you, not so impressed with the cheek, lip and eyeliner. 🤗
I have mature dry skin and I use my fingers. It covers my redness and just makes my skin look fresh. I do have to set my face because It looks a little too dewey “greasy” if I don’t and I can imagine if you have long hair it will stick to your face without the powder. I also set my face balm with a fine powder blush or bronzer.
I think you’d like the tawny red-based miracle balm color. It’s so pigmented you can use less, also good for lips. The color is magical for a sunburnt-y look. I hate the foundation, too goopy for me.
I like the miracle balm at night and under a matte foundation….. it gives my matte foundation a more satin dewy look while still long wearing. I’ve had the Jones road foundation for a few days but haven’t tried it yet….hopefully I like it. It looks really good on you! So do the oils and blushes!!
Hi Michele!! Loved your review!!! Can you PLEASE tell me what nail polish you use???? Obsessed with it. Thank you!!!
Just used my miracle balm today. I bought the darkest shade to look like I had been at the beach. I used it all over, because on me it blends away.I had to use a it cosmetics powder illumination over it. I am still on the fence but I think my best choice would be the lightest or colorless one. To be more like a moisturizer.
I love the miracle balms!!
As someone with combo to oily skin, I get nervous looking at how almost everything was balmy/creamy/oily. And Jone Road needs to be more generous with their pigments! I don’t really see anything… I think this line will suit those who has dry skin, starting with makeup or loving the super no makeup makeup look.
She is very into the no makeup look, I personally love it.
Well... Less is more!
It’s very hard for us oily gals. For me, because of the extremely oily t-zone and awful under eyes, it’s hard to do a no make-up make-up look.
@@dollooz I have the same skin concerns. I love the foundation and all the products which pleasantly surprised me. I'm 35 and my pre-teens daughter's schoolmates all say I look like a teenager.
@@yourerightimwrong4567 so you weren’t a shiny mess ??
Hi Michael have any recommendations for a foundation for very dry skin I've spent a fortune recently to find one .love your videos xx
Thanks for your review of WTF foundation. I may have to give it a shot.
The JRB mascara is amazing! Very much “va voom” lashes!
