Friends, to my chagrin, when I was editing the footage I observed that the close-up of the foundation application doesn't really show the texture-diffusing quality of the product. I think it's because the beauty lights the I use for filming are pretty powerful texture-diffusers themselves, so the bare side of my face was getting help from the lights and didn't contrast as much with the foundation side as it does in real life. I hope you will still be able to see a little bit of what I'm talking about! I'm sorry I didn't change the lighting when I was taking that footage-it just didn't occur to me. Thanks for watching!
I was on the Jones road site the other night agonizing over whether I need the new bronzer in the lightest shade (even though I don't wear bronzer) & noticed something interesting. So the miracle balm has in common some ingredients with a product I know & love. One of my only repurchase items over the last few yrs is the earth harbor nymph Nectar balm. It's in a little glass pot, looks & sort of feels like a slightly gritty, almost waxy lip balm. Yet it's for skin! It is one of the most impressive products I own. It literally makes my skin feel like baby skin or calf skin once it sinks in & it does a tremendous job of blurring while also sort of plumping fine lines & pores. It's a product I feel like I could not live without. So to now hear you talk more at length about the miracle balm again, it is making me nod my head while thinking about the nymph Nectar! I definitely do not need the Jones road & appreciate your outro! Thanks so much for this! 🕺✨
I could actually see the difference. It was just as you said. I zoomed in with a full screen. Bobbi was always about yellow undertones in her foundation. This color did not look as good on you as last videos I saw you in when you use the correct color for your skin!! But the foundation made you look plump and has coverage compared to the makeup free side! 👍🏻👍🏻
The problem is, the longer you have the What The Foundation, the more unusable it becomes. It completely separates. To the point where you can’t even pick up the container because it begins oozing oil. Anywhere you store it will be oily. And good luck mixing it up to try to get it “back together” because it’s just a big mess. They need to reformulate this one.
I worked for Bobbi for 7 years and from what i can tell with the WTF foundation, she has tried to replicate the Extra Tinted Balm that they used to sell at Bobbi. It came in about 5 shades, was very sheer, more skincare than actual make up, was packed with essential oils which gave it a strong herbal scent and it came in a tub to apply with fingers usually. It made dehydrated/dry skin look very healthy and plumped. For obvious reasons it was VERY popular with mature skin, so she's definitely trying to do a similar thing here.
I used to work for Bobbi Brown for years and I agree, it reminds me of the balm ( and feels like going back to the beginning and the beauty and heathly lifestyle values of Bobbi Brown)
I'm wondering how this stacks up with products from Salt New York, Monica Blunder, and Manasi 7. Having dry, rapidly aging skin myself, I'm finding I am intrigued by these balmy skin products, but I have no idea which could work best for me. Would love a comparison video!
I wear WTF a lot. I prefer the fragrance of WTF to SB. I feel more confident/“done” with it. I will often go in with the sneaky balm under my eyes/around the nose as extra coverage. SB = good for coverage, WTF good for complexion enhancing, skin care and elegance. Old Bobbi Brown brand used to have a “Tinted Moisturizing Balm” which was my holy grail. WTF-unsurprisingly-comes closest to my old love. Skin feels SO SOFT at end of the day, especially when layered with the Miracle Balm. 😍
I'm so happy to see a fair review of WTF. I think JR hasn't done a great job of marketing this to their target audience, or has allowed the non-target audience to to own the narrative, and the product has been unfairly vilified as a result. WTF is not intended for young people with perfect, plump skin. It's for older people for whom the lovely skin ship has long since sailed. 30yo me would have hated this; for 52yo me, it's nearly perfect. I am sorry the shade range is not nearly perfect, though.
im a researcher. i don't do anything without designing experiments. literally nothing. it's innate after you study it, work it and live it. you're one of the v few people whose opinion i trust BECAUSE you research and you do it correctly. using new products with each other, not testing different bases and/or textures, not using other means to compensate for a perceived shortcoming are all disingenuous and in bad faith. it's physically impossible to distinguish a product's performance if there's no negative and positive ctrl in the experiment: ie clearly profiled products with minimal disturbance, used to evaluate new products etc. always do differential diagnosis. they yield the best decisions with the most amount of information.
Hey there, I am just learning about DOE vs. OFAT experiment structures for my engineering courses. I'm going to finish her video, but I'm surprised by some of your notes here! Shows I still have a lot to learn.
@@SJ-dl6uc Both! Also got introduced to a neat little DOE widget in excel during a seminar. It made a "heat map" of the interacting effects and about where you might reach an optimal result. But yes, back to the idea of trying a bunch of products from the same company instead of doing OFAT as is typical in makeup reviews... I don't find "trying to make the product work" disingenuous, personally. If anything, it more accurately demonstrates how a regular consumer might use the product, I. E. in combination with their existing products. Letting all the factors interact in this video's way makes sense for a thorough brand review (which this video is!), but I don't think that most people buy a full face from a single brand much anymore, unless you've been buying from Clinique or Estee Lauder counters for 30 years 😅 But I am indeed interested in hearing you expand more about your thoughts. 🤓
@@kagitsune you misunderstood what i wrote. i am actually advocating making the makeup work no matter what, exactly for the reason that it's what actual consumers go through. what i said was it's disingenuous to review things without testing other avenues of problem-solving that could aid in using a product, albeit w a lil more difficulty. basically I said what you're saying. ps: categorically, the Six Sigma cert is good for manufacturing R&D cz it lends itself to incorporate a lot of physics that's generally not defined in a regular RgD setting in the life sciences (biology and chemistry). but the statistics of Six Sigma and Minitab itself are so freaken amazing and powerful. I an immunobiochemist and an R&D scientist in making immunoassays. so it's kinda perfect for population data, cz my entire job is to design experiments and collect data. i use stats as much as i use arithmetics. I can calculate R0 easier than a radical of a given number. Minitab's expensive af, if you can't get the software, use its help and FAQ directory to study and learn manufacturing and statistics in non manufacturing disciplines.
@@SJ-dl6uc Ah, gotcha, thanks for the clarification! And yes, I'm very lucky that my school buys a Minitab license for us all. It's almost scary how fast it spits out a beautiful explainer for a DOE. Easy to use, but easy to abuse, imo... And thank you for the career tip! Minitab's blogs are indeed a treasure trove of Stats education. :D
I've got about 12 years on you and "tinted skincare" is absolutely my jaaaaaam. This one unfortunately has a few ingredients my acne-prone skin hates (jojoba, olive oil, stearic acid, some other high-oleic oils) -- if it weren't for that I'd def give it a shot! For anyone with similar sensitivities, the Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint (liquid texture, dropper bottle, heavy on squalane and glycerin plus hyaluronic and allantoin, SPF 40) is fantastic and doesn't break me out. And fyi, the lighter shades are probably going to be even paler than you expect based on swatches. It's been my go-to for about a year, and I'm trying to use it up... bc your Salt New York review has me wanting to try THAT one now, sigh.
I have super oily skin but I love watching these videos anyways because it feels like hanging out! I think it's a bonus to have oily skin and watch this channel, because I'm not tempted to try the majority of products I see. I found this channel by way of The Financial Diet and love the thought of a No Buy year, so even when I am tempted nowadays, now I hear Hannah's voice in my head saying, 'automatic nooooo,' like the Ghost of Christmas Past, and more often than not, I put the phone down and convince myself that I don't need the thing. I suppose I just wanted to share to say keep it up, Hannah! You've helped me loads 🫶
I want to address two subjects in this sure-to-be-long comment: age, and Exa's green colour corrector. If anyone is interested in the latter, scroll down 😂. First thing's first. Holy Balls, HLP!! You're going on 38!? You're only 2 years younger than I am!? Whoa!! I'm fairly new-ish to your channel, and I've been very curious about your age. You definitely give off intelligence and maturity in spades, but I figured you were an old soul trapped in the body of someone in their late twenties or VEEERRRYYY early thirties. 34 at the absolute *latest*. Which tracks for us pale, pleasantly, slightly-plump-cheeked folks. To clarify: I'm not referring to a plumpness of figure, more like ....plumped skin? I digress. Up until the last 2 years, I was being ID'd for EVERYTHING. I'd hand over my license, and the cashier would look at my birth year, then up at my face, then back my birthday again. This would, especially if the cashier wasn't a cis-gendered male, be followed by something along the lines of, "SERIOUSLY!?! Wow, you GO, girl!" However, the Dark, Two-Years-Long, Night Of The Soul, coupled with extreme self-neglect, have taken their toll. I'm only asked for my ID one out of five times, now. I know this is just due to policy: everyone who looks under 65 has to be ID'd in most liqs/bars/stores that sell nicotine, THC, and CBD products. It's just shocking how much terrible mental health can age you. We are also, as you mentioned, in a period of rapid aging. The years between 38 and 48 typically herald a ton of physical changes. I'm trying to embrace this, and just.....be the me that I am. Things are looking up. I'm going to be getting some dental work done very soon (which I have to quit smoking cigarettes for); both these things will improve my health, confidence, and looks, exponentially. I've also finally gotten definitive mental health diagnoses, and that's a huge first step. Anyway. On to Exa!! I'm Canadian. I've been very intrigued by Exa, Make Beauty, and RMS since watching your content. Particularly, Make's Mascara, and chiefly: Exa's greyish-green, desaturated, colour corrector. Unfortunately, NONE of these brands ship to Canada. "Oh well," I thought. "I can either live without it, or, I could take one of my existing green colour correctors and experiment with some colour theory alchemy, using products I already have. I mean, I *do* have a small pot of Dr Jart's cicapair redness-killing cream. That should be enough..." Famous last words for a person who hasn't gotten my spending habits under control, by a long-shot. A few weeks ago, I found myself on Yesstyle, looking for a powerful SPF 50 PA++++++++++++ pump-style spray for the face. Something I could use to reapply SPF over my makeup, if that's even possible. Also, Clio Kill Lash mascara, which I've been hearing rad things about. That's when I saw them: The Saem's line of concealers! Specifically, the green-beige one. While it doesn't look like an *exact* Exa dupe, it does look close enough for government work. It's even *more* desaturated when it comes to the green aspect, so it may be ideal for even fairer fair-skinned folks. The tubes are daintily small, and the price point is very affordable. I love this smaller size, because, as someone who hasn't been wearing much makeup lately, it's easier for me to use something up before it goes off. Same reason I usually go for sample-size mascaras lately. I picked up both the beigey-green and peach concealers from The Saem. The peach is more saturated than its sibling, but lesser-so than the current correction situation I've currently got on the go. A probably-too-old Tarte cream conceal/colour correct/highlight/bronztour palette. Purchased circa ~Spring/Summer 2020. So: if there are any non-US-citizens out there who want to try something like this, but don't want/are unable to cross the border just to shop, or use re-mailing services? This could be a good alternative. There's still the aforementioned Dr Jart, but The Saem concealers are far more affordable, and take up less space. Before I completely wrap this up, I just want everyone to know that I don't work for any of these companies/retailers in ANY capacity. I'm just passing on information. Lots of love to you all!
OK, at least for eyeshadow I AM the Jones Road customer! so this was super helpful! As an gen x-er, I like their branding and eyeshadow has *always* been problematic for me. At $25/shadow with no way to try on in store, I was dying to see a review I could trust. I just love your review approach - honest, super detailed, and clear about your preferences, so your viewers can make their own choices. You're the cool girl/thinking woman's makeup afficionado and I'm here for it.
I've been watching your channel for a while, but funnily enough, the brands you've been reviewing the past year are now very aligned with the makeup I use daily. Chantecaille, Victoria Beckham, Jones Road, RMS. Even when I already own the products or am familiar with the brand, I still enjoy seeing how others use and interpret the products, maybe more so. Anyway, glad to see interests aligning!
All things considered... After the video, the first thing that came to my mind is that you look great in the video with this makeup 🤷♀️ Maybe Jones Road makeup is a reminder of what we really need from makeup. I look at my desk full of make-up and think, realistically, I don't need any of this. Because you look really good to me in this video. So fresh... I just love it. 🤷♀️🤯😂
I've got a few years on you. Gotta 💕 out community of us beautiful women, right? Do you mind me asking if/what dietary changes you've tried to address your eczema? (🤔I think that what is recalled you saying.) As a certified holistic health coach, I love seeing the ConnectingTheDots moments making big impacts for our lives. I'm happy to walk you through some options.
Me and my older friend absolutely love WTF. It’s great for dry or aged skin. If you have marks you’d like to cover, you’ll need a concealer. But yes, it’s tinted skincare for a natural sheen and I ❤ it
I’m 55 and have dry fair skin. It’s amazing for my skin. Of the JR products I’ve tried, I’d say the concealer pencil, eyebrow pencil and WTF are their best products in my opinion. WTF is a tinted moisturizer but better than anything else out there for the dry skin crowd.
@@sandralee6848Exactly! I'd love multiple sizes... Mini/Sampler, Small, Medium, and their current size/Large. I would love to play with a mini sampler set of them all to allow for all the year's 4 seasons' skin color varieties. Let's get our request heard at Jones Road! 💕😍🙏🏼
I have to admit that I was very turned off by WTF until this review. I am curious but would also LOVE to see you review the Jane Iredale pressed powder foundation and serum foundation. I have very dry skin and have been recommended this and love that it seems easy to travel with.
FWIW, I used the Jane Iredale pressed powder foundation for most of my 30s, but find it not very flattering now as I approach 50. In the winter, I often use the Isdin skin drops in my favorite moisturizer and/or serum and have been really happy with this approach as they warm up my sun starved complexion a bit in a very flattering way. If I need some spot coverage, I go back in with the Westman Atelier stick foundation, which is also super creamy and delicious.
This review is a perfect example of why I love your channel so much and trust your reviews over most others on RU-vid. I love how thorough you go in with your detailed explanations of the product and consistency and really appreciate that you take the time to learn to use the products how they're intended. I still haven't tried what the foundation but it's on my list of products I'd like to try in the future once I have less complexion products I need to work through. It always frustrated me that other reviews of it seemed to be treating as if it was something it's not meant to be, and yours the first person I've watched that explained it in a way that makes total sense and definitely sounds like something my dry skin that's just starting to develop fine lines in my almost 30s would love. I really hope they release a pale olive to their shade range (I have the same skin tone as you, and I would definitely have the same problems with the color of the lightest shade)
Im back to this video a year later because they released "alabaster" in the what the foundation. A new lightest shade! Maybe you will try it? Only because you liked the product so much in this review. I've been thinking about trying it but ive been afraid because im not a foundation girl usually.
I think the name of the eyeshadow shade you have is pronounced Pa-TEEN-ah. It's beautiful! Correction: You can pronounce it either way! I just never heard it pronounced the way you said! Interesting 💡
I’m one of those people who is very intimidated by beauty. So I appreciate products which are simple. This might be something I’m willing to try. Thank you Hannah! Even though I usually only wear mascara I thoroughly enjoy watching your content.
Well after your miracle balm review I bought two and LOVE them. And now I just placed an order for WTF. I think I’m the Jones Road demographic! But I still like watching you play with the fancy stuff ❤
I often feel at odds with folk who have a style of makeup. I wear WTF some days, and then wear full coverage other days, and sometimes I'll be in the mood for tonnes of eyeshadow and the next day, want none at all. I'm never quite sure what kind of makeup person I am till I wake up!
REQUEST from a woman with an unsaturated pale skintone and a cool rosy and blue undertone - Please try the RMS Buriti Bronzer. It is my holy grail as it looks so healthy, dewy and realistic on the skin. It has a slight red undertone when applied and is a life changer bronzer for me as bronzers are generally too yellow on me
People really hated the what the foundation, but I have pretty dry skin and I like it, but I also don't love full coverage products. In the summer especially I use the Danessa Myricks blurring balm underneath and what the foundation on top and it is just so good.
I have to say, I have a totally different makeup style from you but I am always watching your videos bc I love how eloquently and in a refined way you talk about makeup. 😍
Yes! So happy to see you try WTF! I have been loving it (porcelain is a perfect match for me) and I feel like it really didn’t get an fair shake with the internet beauty community. It really does make the skin look healthy and radiant *chefs kiss*
btw I believe patina is pronounced "pa-TEE-na" :) It's a really cool word referring to the layer that develops on certain materials used in sculpture etc.
Patina can be pronounced both ways! Emphasis on the first syllable is the original/traditional way and also the way it's pronounced in British English. The long E pronunciation is an offshoot for some speakers of American English. A fascinating word!
I’m curious about how the foundation wore throughout the day with respect to fine lines. At the same time, I’m so very pale that until Jones Road released shades more fair than porcelain, it doesn’t matter. Please know your review has supremely peaked my interest, Hannah, and I truly hope Jones Road considers your thoughts. I will give the eyeshadow thought, especially if it is worthy of your praise; seems like a great size for travel too. Additionally, I agree that offering the WTF formula, as you suggested, in a stick form would be much more appealing. xo PS Love to Sadie girl.
I'm planning on writing to them and asking when they'll have lighter shades. She's darker than me (I'm the same shade /same hair as "amy loves makeup" RU-vidr. If this is too dark for Hannah it's at least 2-3 shades too dark for me. I hope everyone who finds this too dark writes to them and asks for lighter shades. It's embarrassing their "porcelain" is so dark.
I've have very much disliked every JR product except one, and I love that one. The only one I love is the bronzer in Dusty Rose. But like you, I cannot wear the compexion products because there isn't a color for me, and I also find them too greasy for my oily skin, too. I thought the Sparkle Wash was awful. I may have gotten a bad one, but it was one of the worst products I ever bought. It didn't seem to have as much pigment as the one you got, even though it was the same color, and I couldn't build it up at all, it looked like very sparsely placed glitter, and then it creased immediately.
Hi Hannah! I love you videos! So detailed and I really am entranced by your voice. But, can I petition for more fashion content? I love your style and philosophy behind consuming, and it would be incredible to see a video about what you are wearing now and going into spring!
I almost ordered some of these products the other day. I'm glad I didn't. Your review was so helpful. They seem like lovely products, just not in a way I use makeup. I'll definitely try it if it's still around in a few years when my face matures more. BTW I love the color of your shirt. I don't normally comment on creators clothes, but I really like your shirt.
I have a Sephora amount of makeup, (I’m trying to not buy anything else!) but I absolutely love the foundation product. It maybe only slightly tinted but I have quite large scaring (from car accident) and red cheeks and this just feels so comfortable, enriching, protecting and makes my skin look beautiful. Best new product I’ve found in years. I will say that if you like a more coverage product then don’t bother with this.
You should see what the product would look like after a few months (in the jar and on the face) if you mixed a bit of that white product IN with the Jones Road WTFoundation-Porcelain -- to see if it could be a workable, one-step product instead of applying the white mix separately.
I absolutely loved this foundation, except for the fact that the fragrance made my eyes water every time I wore it. so hope they come out with an odorless or (less odor) version. I love the smell it was just too much for my eyes/sinuses. bummer it's really beautiful on the skin.
Ugh I’m soo disappointed you did not review the new bronzer in that lightest pinker shade. Please buy it and let us know what you think. Loveddd the video ❤
My guess is because she doesn't typically use bronzer? I could be way off tho! I almost bought it & I don't use bronzer! I'm just excited by the tone! 😆
I use WT Foundation and Miracle Balm on a semi-regular basis. I love the foundation, and I’m still figuring out how to make the balm work for me. I think I’m going to try the L’Oréal foundation balm next though, because while it’s beautiful it’s kind of expensive, and I’m becoming less of a fan of natural makeup every day.
I have the Dusty Rose version of Miracle Balm- I use dewy foundations generally as I have dry skin but on the occasion when I'm looking a bit dull, I add a smudge of miracle balm across my cheeks and nose and I look immediately perky. Big fan of that product. I enjoyed the mascara- I feel like its quite wet, so I'm looking forward to seeing how it performs when it dries out and becomes a bit more stodgy. I held back on the foundation as I was sure it wasn't light enough for me and it seems that I was correct. Hopefully theyll add some more colours to the collection.
@@emilybauer4944 at the moment, I'm not wearing much foundation. I'm using concealer on troublesome spots, a small brush to powder my t-zone, undereyes and marionette lines, then adding the balm on top, patting it lightly on with my fingers :)
Not particularly buying makeup right now, however, I have recently read a book that struck me as so authentic and feelsy that I want to share it. I do think it’s something that you may enjoy, Red Paint the Ancestral Autobiography of a Coast Salish Punk by Sasha Lapoint.
the first jones road reviews that I feel were actually helpful. thanks for saving me like $200 and changing the products I was intending to buy like entirely im excited
Hey Hannah I’m 48 and really don’t have any hyperpigmentation or blemishes to cover. However, fine lines texture wrinkles yes. Would you suggest this for me over other popular foundations? I’m into skintints and thought maybe this would be the foundation I got next bc it sounds unique
It’s a great product! I have seen a more mature content creator actually apply it by patting it into her skin like skin care. Others (like Bobbi herself I think) use a paddle brush. It’s versatile and makes your skin feel SO GOOD especially layered with miracle balm. If you’re intrigued I would say go for it.
Totally agree with your explanation of WTF. It happens to be a solid shade match for me so I’ve been loving it. But unfortunately the product has begun pilling for me inside the jar. It’s bizarre! Is this happening to anyone else?
IIRC I saw someone mention it had something to do with the waxes? Maybe changes in humidity or temp in your environment? Like for instance if you live in a climate that experiences winter, the cooler drier air could be having an effect. I don't own it, but I definitely have seen at least one other person make mention of this & now I wish I could remember where!
I’ve been wanting to try Jones Road especially wtf! & that specific eyeshadow, it sucks that it broke but through the screen it looks kinda cool 😄🤭 it looks like pebbles or a bumpy texture that was intentional. You pressed it nicely lol
Is it supposed to replace the now discontinued bobbi brown extra tinted balm? That product was not for everyone but I loved it in the winter because it worked with my flaky Retin-A skin. I might have to try this!
I LOVED that extra tinted moisturizing balm and was sad it was discontinued. I believe the old balm had some chemical ingredients that made it more stable (no separation or pilling). The Jones Road is the closest I have come to replacing that holy grail product. It’s the clean beauty cousin to the old extra tinted moisturizing balm. Smells fairly reminiscent of it, even ❤
@@marygreen4561 Thanks for your reply. I loved the extra tinted balm in alabaster. But I don’t think the wtf has a shade light and warm enough for me right now. Glad to know there’s a similar formula out there. I will wait patiently for an expanded shade range. Fingers crossed!
Sounds like the only thing I’d like are the powder eyeshadows. And I have plenty of those. I don’t think my combo-leaning normal skin will like the foundation or miracle balm. Pass for me!
I’m so intrigue by these products but I feel like a couple of other brands that promise what they do, are more geared for skin without pigmentation issues. Like you had perfect maturing skin, like blur me up and slightly color me up type of product, so disappointing. But that lip&cheek product, that I want to try a lot. So soft and glowey in a good way, like young skin. I always wonder if you wear blush, and always want to reach through the screen and put some on you, but not today. This is the first time, in my short time following you that I feel like “there she is” I don’t have my desire to fix what I am watching. Thank you for this review. By the way, I spoke about your no approach to shopping with my bestie today. Thank you more than words can express!
I’m 52 and have excellent skin except for around my eyes. It’s also quite dry, but I’ve successfully addressed that. My big concern is creasing around my crow’s feet and the fine lines under my eyes. Can you tell me if any of these products would help camouflage that? From what you’re saying the WTF might be good for me, though my skin is a similar color to yours.
Watching you apply it to your bare face without anything underneath like color corrector, miracle balm, glow lust, etc.. it definitely matched your complexion despite it being significantly darker than the foundations you usually use, and I think that's attributed to it's tinted moisturizer quality and how thin the coverage is. While it is technically "too dark" for my skin too, I absolutely can get away with it on it's own and even more so with color corrector and concealer to brighten in the areas to make it look more seamless. I will say I did add quite a few pumps of my Haus Labs white foundation to it to lighten it up even more and that worked really well. I'm sure you could add some green color corrector as well to neutralize it even more, but I don't feel it's necessary if you add just the Haus Labs to the foundation and do a layer of the color corrector underneath like you would normally do when prepping your skin. ETA Patina is pronounced Pa-teen-uh, just so you know going forward :)
Patina can be pronounced both ways! Emphasis on the first syllable is the original/traditional way and also the way it's pronounced in British English. The long E pronunciation is an offshoot for some speakers of American English. A fascinating word!
@@violetviolet888 I agree with Erin, maybe don't claim to speak for all her viewers. As a European, I am used to the pronounciation that Hannah used in the video and would be surprised to hear your version ;)
How does wtf compare to blunder cover? You said it's kind of like a balm foundation. How does the end result in terms of texture and blurring and emollience (tacky) compare?
I think I might be this person you describe. I stopped wearing anything but mascara over the last three years, and as I approach my mid-thirties my skin is changing and needing more pampering. I may have to try these products.
I got all excited when you said you’re about to turn 38, because it means we’re the same age! 💗😆💗 (I just turned 38 in February. 😊) I’m newer to your channel, and I found you through The Financial Diet (I loved your interview with Chelsea.) So I know you’ve mentioned being in your 30’s, but I thought you were younger (at least younger than me, lol.) And truthfully, you do you look young- what ever you’ve been doing with your skincare, I say “Bravo!” I’m always happy to find content creators who are the same age as me, or at least in the same age range. Especially when it comes to skincare and beauty. All of us out of our 20’s know we can’t really do our makeup like we did when we were in our 20’s, lol. I love your videos so much, thank you for doing what you do and for just being you! Also, I discovered Kackie through you, and I adore her just as much as I adore you. I’m always excited when I see new videos from the two of you. 💗 P.S. I now really want to try Jones Road products!!! Your description of the WTF balm sounds heavenly!
Hannah! Have you heard of kinred black? It’s an all natural, very high end fragrance and beauty brand, and all their products are packaged in beautiful hand blown glass bottles. I would love to see your review on a few of their products!
I love make up, but I still find a place for Jones Road products, particularly when I want to look like I’m not wearing any makeup, but I still want to. Thanks for another great review!
When this stuff came out, I was attracted to its pudding texture; it looked edible. Then, I watched some RU-vid reviews and came to the conclusion that it seemed like a disgusting coating of peanut butter. So, I crossed it off my list of potential foundation purchases. However, this winter my skin has been drier than it ever has before. Even my most-used foundations aren't looking that great on me. After watching your video, I'm rethinking my view of WTF. It might just be OK for me. I usually don't like dewy finishes, but it looks like a dusting of powder might tone it down. I trust your thorough examination of products and solutions to the problems you face with having pale skin. I know what that's like after practically a lifetime of trying to match foundation shades. My skin is a bit darker than yours, so I think Porcelain would work. I was baffled by the Jones Road odd, sparse shade selections when WTF first appeared. I hope Bobbi Brown adds more in the future, but I was impressed with your mixology skills so you could get it to make a better match. I'd be interested to see how it works with other brands' products like concealers, blushes, setting sprays, etc. Thanks for the informative video, Hannah!
Thankyou SO much for explaining about the foundation - your the only person that has done this, Bobbi needs to thank you! It does have a greyish tone which I love and being more mature it's ideal.
hannah!! i came back to this video just to say i saw hard candy released a luminous liquid blush and the shade “be real” looks like old gum 👀 i havent seen it in person so i cannot confirm but if it is i would love to see you try it 🥰 love you!! ❤️
I think what would keep me from having the WTF be a favorite is what happens to it when you let it sit, (and I totally understand if someone has a small collection this won't apply to them) but when I go back to reach for it it's separated and just looks so gross. I know Bobbi says you can just mix it back up, but like for me part of the appeal of higher end makeup is the aesthetic element of them. So while pretty just not something I find practical for me. Hopefully other brands come out with something similar (but better) and have way more shade ranges which is another issue I found with her old cosmetic line as well and was hoping she'd fix by now. ** Definitely agree with what you said at the end, this is more a line for people who only want to shop at one brand
I bought the Dusty Rose bronzer, a high end purchase that I could have done without. I am more and more happily drugstore these days. I haven't used it yet. I see it truly is just more of a blush tone; one I already have in a blush, nonetheless. BUT - I will not beat myself up about the purchase. I have been pretty good these days, and it honestly sparked a commitment to a low buy I think I can really adhere to now. I am just hoping this rose bronzer has an undertone to it that will make it better as a bronzer than actually blasting blush all over. At the least, it's an inventive and different product, and I can appreciate that and am happy to support a brand who is trying.
I came so close to purchasing the lightest shade of bronzer. Thing is, I don't wear bronzer! I like the idea of it, but I tend to use the salt ny lip & cheek in the shade cocoa as a sort of bronzey blush instead of actual bronzer. You mention you have blushes that are probably comparable to the Jones road bronzer, by chance do you know which ones? The price of the bronzer definitely helped me to not make that purchase.
I kept seeing that and wondering how similar it was to the Gucci 01 bronzer (which, almost tragically, I LOVE), but the more I see it, I think it’s even pinker and blushier than that! Just not even remotely bronzing.
I purchased the dusty rose bronzer after witnessing it on a customers cheeks at the flagship store in Montclair NJ. It is stunning over the miracle balm of the same name. Truly a beautiful product.
@@sandralee6848 Oh, thank you!! Good to know! I forgot to mention, the only reason I haven't used it yet is because I am sooooo close to finishing off a Butter Bronzer, I'm trying not to lose steam with that and just use it up completely and move on to the new two I have. I'm so happy to hear you were impressed!! I am still glad I got it, even though I feel I paid a lot for it.
Great review. I have older dry skin and couldn’t get into the wtf. I must have been using too much and hated the sticky texture on my face. I do think the pencils are great though. A great replacement for the dcd coverfx pencils
I am so happy that I found you! Great job at explaining these products. I have been dying to try these but was unable to really find a video that truly explains these products well. You did so great! It is so funny that your experience was semi positive on some of these products but they still looked so gorgeous on you!!! Just subbed. ❤
I really don’t use any base product except Tower 28 skin tint and some Kosas concealer. This is the first review of this brand that made me think this might work for me. Thank you
I don't know what else to say other than that I love your videos and this one was so good, it quenched my curiosity for the brand. Happy 38th birthday!
I have dry skin and I am really basic when it comes to make up so this was very helpful for me ❤ thank you for your time and effort and in-depth explanation. I think I’ll try their products.
Wow, I think this is the first review I’ve seen of the What the Foundation that actually gives it a fair shot. And it really does appeal to me. I love watching makeup videos on RU-vid, but there are certain parts of makeup that I really dislike in practice, and base makeup is probably at the top of that list. I have some amount of hyperpigmentation from a bad struggle with acne 10 years ago, and I’ve developed rosacea and melasma in the last couple of years. I’ve gotten things to the point where I’m satisfied with less pigmented products that just even things out, but my preference would be to just skip base products and move on to makeup I enjoy, like eyeshadow. So a more skincarey base product like this is really appealing to me. Alas, my skin tone is just slightly darker than yours with a very neutral undertone. So unless they come out with lighter shades, I don’t think I’ll bother.
I really dig the what the foundation. Considering how skincarey it is it holds up pretty well throughout the day. I've found I can also pile on any powder I choose and it always looks flawless. Def wish it came in a lighter color tho
I have two miracle balms, the hippie stick, and the face pencil. I freaking love them so much that your reveiw of WTF has me side eyeing the site again 😉
@@janebarnette6548 I personally use it on top my skincare. It contains castor oil which is antibacterial. My skin sufferes from a lack of lipid barrier so, I'm prone to bacterial issues. It's also a good all over body balm. But I mostly use it on my face and cuticles. When I don't want color(from the miracle balms), I use it on top my foundation as a glow. I have dry-ish skin. Even works as a jumbo lip balm.
