JONES ROAD BEAUTY: "WHAT THE FOUNDATION" | Honest Review 

As a +50, I think this line is geared more to our age group. Simple and moisturizing, because we are generally incredibly dry. It's all the retinol, vit C and booze. An early Bobbie Brown product (circa 1996) was very similar to this balm. This line also does a great job covering redness...another +50 problem. The pencil works well, too. That colour looks beautiful on you!

Absolutely loving the window open, bird situation. It’s very calming ❤️

Btw this was definitely the best review of these products. Kackie has the most satisfying vocabulary to explain what is really up with the products and what they’re meant for. I personally feel as though they’re fool proof for a natural looking better skin day that leaves you looking effortless and beautifully you. Idk I really dig it. I actually hardly ever powder my face not even my under eyes and think this might be something I’d enjoy. Thanks Kackie once again for a job well done. Love you mama 😘

As a dehydrated skin girl, I adore the WTF foundation. Only thing I’ve ever used that keeps my skin hydrated all day and I live in the south! I gave away my sparkle washes to my daughter- way too glittery unless you like glitter on your face at the end of the day!

I adore this foundation. I'm almost 40 with dry skin and I've been wearing this every day since I got it. My face feels so nice at the end of the day. It's such a fun and new product that actually seems to benefit my skin so far.

Aw the birds in the background are so lovely!

This is the first base product I’ve used that did NOT cause my problem areas to dry out and reveal texture! I’m in South Florida & it didn’t get weird and greasy/melty in the heat & humidity. I love it so far!

Yes! I was hoping you would review!!! I started watching you because it was the only things that calmed down my dogs when they were crate training. Now all three of us will sit in the living room and watch each episode!! 😂❤️ I started exploring my personal style and makeup thanks to you! ❤️🎉 it’s been an eventful journey!

You are so entertaining. I just love your content. I used to ‘adjust expectations’ for clean beauty but then Westman Atelier came along and did everything SO RIGHT!!

I have oily skin, I set this with powder and a setting spray and it lasts for 12hrs. It is beautiful! If you want light coverage this is great. If I want a bit of more coverage I use a concealer where I need it and set it with powder and a setting spray. Done. Love it!

I really appreciate this video. Love that you are willing to re-examine brands that didn’t really “hit” on the first go-around.

Totally loved this video. Im excited to try it out! A "grown-up Glossier" is a perfect description 👌 ❤

I live near the Jersey store and picked up the WTF as soon as it arrived. I love it. It is a bit greasy feeling on application but dries down and sets shortly after applying it. My old skin loves it.

I think you look absolutely radiant in this look

This hairstyle suits you so well. Super cute for summer. Now I'm going to have to try it like this with the braid much further back instead of like a headband like usual

Literally searched for this because I saw a TikTok ad and you just posted it today. You are a GODSEND

love how you said its like grown up glossier! could not have been more a true statement!!!

This was a really great review- smart and lots of very thought out critique! Appreciated!

Best video for this product line I’ve seen yet. So so helpful.

You have seriously become my go to whenever I am on the fence about picking up new product.

The birb you hear is a northern mockingbirb ❤ they are all over NJ and they love to sing!🎤

Always a entertain when watching your videos.You’re so cute with that braid and this “pirate girl” look,please give us more braid-y Kackie look😍💜

I usually don't watch your brand reviews unless of course i want to buy something specific but thats very rare. I have been super interested in jones road and you actually saved me some money. I have super oily, acne filled, pregnant skin and I'm convinced this would be awful for me so thank you!

Kackie, I LOVE your videos. Why is *birbs* so freaking hilarious 😂

As a combo skinned gal… I know this product is not for me but I still always appreciate your reviews 🙌🏼

Her mascara is probably the best I have ever owned. Now I am going to have to try this What The Foundation!

Thank you for your honesty!

You always know how to make any look work!!! You look naturally beautiful with this makeup look today! Will you be trying the new Wayne Goss Luxury cream foundation? I would love to hear your opinion. 💗

Loveeeed this video. I think this foundation is right up my alley as someone who has zero brush technique and applies everything with my fingers! LOL May have to finally cave and place an order to try out Jones Road beauty!!

I also gave Jones Road another chance after giving away my first purchase. I love her makeup philosophy and even worked for her way back in the day. I wanted to love this so much and as a 55 year old dry-skinned woman thought the WTF and sticks might not slide off my face like the miracle balm. No such luck. This did nothing for the appearance of my skin and just made it look like a hot mess later - no hot flash needed. I would rather just wear Glow Screen, Face Glaze or Hollywood Flawless Filter alone. Hard pass on this one.

I have the miracle balm and definitely agree on that... but I love the lipgloss (lightly minty and not sticky) and I love Just a Sec in pewter for a subtle easy eye look!

Adore the mascara and had no issues w/ removing while double cleansing

That Kosas powder is one of the most amazing makeup products I've ever used...and I've been using makeup for a LOOOOOONGGG time. You look great in this foundation - very natural and radiant! I live in AZ now, so I'm thinking WFT might be good for the incredibly dry summer months (esp at my age).

Bobbi brown did similar product before. Was the tinted balm , was very loved at the Bobbi brown brand , was very beautiful and balmy barely any coverage , beautifull glow, great for pre make up. Same with the pencils Bobbi brown did it before and was a great product, but wasn’t successful at the time

I think you look great. I just ordered this but I wish that I had watched a few more reviews before I ordered. I am 50 with normal leaning more oily. I saw someone say that if you're oily just skip your regular moisturizer - hope that works. I wanted something that I could use on days that I am not doing full makeup but still want to look alive :)

So glad you posted this video. Was close to trying out the foundation. But know I know it would not suit me at all. I might try the pencils. 👍

I absolutely love the foundation. I'm still getting use to the balms. The highlighter is nice. I just ordered some of the bronzer. We will see hehe I love your gold jewelry 💖

You’ve got me so interested in Salt NY but I’m also so curious about this Jones Road balm, Wayne Goss’ balm, and Monika Blunder’s Blunder Cover. I love the idea of all of them. For the ones you do have, what is the difference between them? They seem similar to me - no makeup makeup look, easy to apply, flexible coverage. I like how you said, “grown-up Glossier.”

I know you are already sold on the Blonzers but I just picked up Kiss of Rose and am already trying to move my budget around to buy the other two colors. I like the idea of the pencil concealer. I am currently using the NYX Bare With Me, which does look great. The issue I have with it, is that it is a pump dispenser which is really messy.

So glad you did this video! I’ve been SO CLOSE to placing an order since this foundation came out. Also wanting to try basically everything else you reviewed, so this was very timely :)

I love their miracle balms to be honest!! I have three and Flushed is gorgeous. I do have super super dry skin though. I love the face pencil, only concealer that doesn't settle in lines for me. The only product I haven't liked was one of their sparkly eyeshadows. Way too much fallout.

I love this foundation!!!

I picked up the lab sample of Rituel de Fille's new foundation type product on the same day that I bought the new Jones Road foundation. The RDF is similar to the Kosas tinted face oil, except for some reason I like the RDF one a lot better and actually really want to wear it. Hopefully they will come out with the permanent release of it soon. I wasn't nearly as enthusiastic about the Jones Road one, in part because it made my face feel a little itchy (maybe from the essential oils in it?), but just in general. Good for her in terms of giving it a try though. I do love the Jones Road face pencils and eyebrow pencils, and also the lip/cheek sticks are pretty good.

I find jones road really tricky to figure out - on one hand I love the aesthetic of the whole brand but also performance wise nothing feels particularly special? And for many $$$? I can get the “grownup glossier” vibe but I feel glossier is a little more cohesive maybe? Idk 😂

This look is stunning on you 😍

I bought it and LOVED it! I am 35 y/o with combo skin with a significantly dry side of cheeks and extremely (EXTREMELY) oily in my T-Zone and chin. I've slept in this stuff and woke up still looking fantastic. No breakouts; it just looks like me but perfected. I agree that it doesn't _feel_ like you're wearing makeup. More like a heavier face lotion. I was underwhelmed by the miracle balm; it felt WAYYYYY too heavy. I also got the new face oil, a face pencil, and one of the eyeshadows. Love the face pencil to add some coverage. The eyeshadow was...nice, but nothing special. I REALLY want the mascara, but it is consistently out of stock. I'll be returning the miracle balm and perhaps the eyeshadow. My favorite part is that this line feels like a tool-optional line. Some people hate that, but I'm OCD and use a clean scooper for everything in a tub and then sanitize any makeup that touches my face. I love this makeup aesthetic for the spring/summer. We'll see how I feel in the fall. I'm so glad YTers under 40 are reviewing this!

I just received my Jones Road order today. I have very dry skin, so this is perfect for me.

As a 60 year old I love the Bobby brown formulas - I need the moisture of the WTF and the sheerness of the miracle bombs - so hydrating! I can see it might not work for 20-30 years olds - but just you wait!! Your turn will come :)

Hi, I think the makeup looks fabulous on camera! How did it wear? We can’t get Jones Road in the EU yet and I’m curious about the brand. I’m not sure though and a wear test would be much appreciated!

Thank you for the video. What color do you wear in MAC foundation? Just wondering what color to get in WTF. In NAC I am NW15.

Hey! Great video ♥️ Made me subscribe because I love your energy! Do you think this foundation would be good for people with combo skin/slightly oily t-zones??

I have been coveting that green ring you have for ages. May I ask where it’s from?

I just love your alter egos like the dystopian cowgirl fortune teller and INTRODUCING the tiki pirate!! Not only great make up reviews but entertainment value-LOLs!!!

Well I tried the Jones Riad Miracle Balm and it wasn't!!..$38 each, I purchased 2 shades and can't find anyone to pass it on to. The "smell" was very off putting and strong to me and it maintained a stickiness to it that never set down. My hair was long so my hair was sticking to my face where the Miracle Balm had been applied and I was glad I didn't choose to wear a fragrance as it would have competed with the smell of the Balm. So now listening to you and having skin towards the oiler side, I think I will pass on the WTF as I won't add $44 to the stack of the 2 Miracle Balms that I wasted my $ on!!

What a beautiful face of makeup, I can feel my skin clogging just from watching 😜

If you like those pencils I bet you'll like the Cheekbone Beauty complexion pencils too! These sound really similar to the cheekbone ones and I love the Cheekbone ones for under eye and spot camo.

Do you know if I click your link but then switch it to open it in safari, do you still get the affiliate credit?

I love the pencils but have better luck when i warm it up on top of my hand first and it covered much better for me. And love those lip and cheek sticks too- underrated i think!

I actually love Miracle Balm in Tawny all winter long on my pale skin (I have similar complexion to yours)... I apply it over my tinted moisturizer and it is basically slugging.. it sits pretty, give me beautiful healthy glow and keeps my skin nourished during the dry season... it doesnt really dry down but it doesnt slide around either... and I dont really use it in the summer... Im really curious to try the foundation tho but was waiting for reviews... I also have a face pencil but I wanna try a lighter color bc I got it in light with neutral undertone but it looks too yellow on me, even tho I have neutral undertone... so u r correct that the undertones on these products are confusing... I also tried all eye shadows and they are all underwhelming... like the Best Eyeshadow is very good quality, blends well, but too subtle... just too subtle.. the Just a Sec has fun and interesting texture but still comes out too subtle on the eyes no matter how much I layer it... like I look flat in them... and I have 3 Sparkle Washes and they are gorgeous in the packaging but also really dull on the eyes... they are like very understated, barely there sparkle but if I layer them, they crumble and look dry... they are only really pretty when I just apply them in one swipe... but then they dry down and the sparkles are not so sparkly, I guess true to their name, a very light wash of sparkle... but there is something that keeps drawing me to Jones Road's aesthetics that makes me check their product releases even tho besides the miracle balm and face pencil, Im not impressed with anything else... i might try the lip and cheek stick in Tawny tho since I love the balm in that color so much...

Curious of your opinion on other newly released products-the Dynessa Myricks yummy skin balm/powder!

The Bird: a common Song Sparrow, with a song resembling Beethoven's Symphony No. 5. 🎶

I don't always want pigment. Sometimes I just want better texture and a little coverage

The foundation is very moisturizing, which is just what i need at 56:) i am definitely the target audience:) *i feel i want to put some in a small container to carry with me. Maybe a contact lens case? There is a huge amount of product, which is cool. I have to almost rub it into my skin like a moisturizer, and just very small amount. Feels good on my sensitive skin:)

I tried the powder eyeshadows from Jones Road and was very underwhelmed. The pencil looks interesting. Seems like there are enough of these skin tinty/balm things to do another roundup of the best and worst this summer!

I just discovered your channel and I'm really enjoying watching!! You're comments about birbs make me laugh- that's what i call them when my cats see the birds! As far as the bird call you want to know- there's an app called Merlin that can help tell you what birds you're hearing!

I need a comparison of this, with the new Wayne Gods foundation, and the sneaky balm.

My youngest is 10 months and I am living that hair regrowth life 👍

I know this video is way old but I watch my favorite RU-vidrs while I work and oh my god can I relate to your intro... I gave birth to my second 9 months ago and the hair loss was depressing! It didn't happen with my first pregnancy so I wasn't expecting it but Jesus... I eventually decided to chop off over a foot of hair because losing that much volume made it look NASTY! Lol. The things we endure for our children. Anyway sending love. :)

How many hours does the what the foundation last on your face?

Personally, I liked the blush in your make-up look best. Do you think it's worth the money? What formulation/product would you compare it to?

where would you put this on your arbitrary scale of coverage?

Do you like What the Foudnation or Kosas tinted oil better?

Honestly please open your window in every single video going forward, thank you ❤️

Can you wear SPF under/over it ???

19:52 😂😂😂 this was magical 😂😂😂

I think this looks stunning on you this seems like it would be what I need for my skin which is just dry and dull and I’m pushing 50. How do you think this would wear with a mask? I work in healthcare so I don’t want something that would look crazy because it comes off or moves around.

“A vibe I’ve never chased down before!!” 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

I love grease, if that's what you want to call it, on my skin because I have very dry skin. The oils and butters plump the skin. Oils and butters are best applied on wet skin. I must try Bobbie's miracle balm.

Kackie were you an English major in college? You find new ways to say things in every video i never would have thought of. You have a unique way with words that is so cool

Your skin looks BEAUTIFUL with this wtfoundation. I'm using it now and its OKAYYYYyyYYyYyy. I mean. I like how it looks on me but I don't like how it feels sticky. I patted it basically OFF with a papertowel LOL and Now i'm ok with it. ehhh Idk if i will use this very often.

I hadn't cut my hair for 28 months and when I finally did in October it was a blunt medium bob below my chin. YET, I HAVE BANGS! hair regrowth is such bs. I have baby hair and bangs but i still have the bald spots at my temples. so annoying.

where does the WTF rank against like an Illia skin tint for you?

I have not been the greatest physically or mentally lately but I just needed some Kackie to help me get back on the sunny side of life! And makeup. Always makeup. Now if we could just get certain products back in stock :( oh well

It looks like real model make-up! Totally achievable, fool proof, model make-up, at home.

♥ diplomatic in the best way Kackie, an informative balance on experience, expectation & application. I want to want it ~~ and I do want it, but......but gonna have to hang with my other 50 something sister Gloria Blecha's comment down below ~~ hard pass on the WTF and that "creaseless" clean shadow ~~ I have reservations ~~ intrigued to hear what others experience. As for face balm foundations & other color cream cosmetics ~~ sticking with my SALT & Sneaky. ♥

Okay, I appreciated this video so much(and you're super engaging) but I think I may be even more confused than before. I have a horrible time with foundation, with it just sitting on top of my skin visually. And I have tried so many. (and they are soo expensive) I have dry skin and love a no make-up look. But you scared me a little bit with the slugging comment. I have eczema (not on my face) and I can't stand the way Aquaphor and Vaseline feel on my skin-it feels like my skin is suffocating. Am I going to get that feeling on my face? I hate that I can't try it before I buy it. 😐

i have super dry skin that's only exacerbated by living in a dry climate, i bought this foundation a month ago and WOOOOWWWW it's been a godsend! first foundation/concealer i've EVER tried that doesn't cling to my dry patches/overaccentuate texture by the end of the day. i can wear as little or as much as i want, and if i need more coverage, i add in a little of a different concealer (considering picking up the face pencil, though.) also, since my skin is staying moisturized, it's significantly cut down on dryness-induced breakouts. my skin hasn't looked this great in i don't know how long. i'm obsessed. if your skin type is similar to mine, i can't recommend this product enough!!!

What is the kosas powder please?

I’m seeing more Ms. Frizzle than Tiki Pirate. I love it!

How does What The Foundation compare to Sneaky Balm?

I got the same shade. I have very dry skin. The shade was not good for me. I might try the clear for some glow or moisture at night.

I typically don’t buy high end makeup, but I really dig this aesthetic. My interest is piqued.

There’s tons of Monse, Ulla Johnson, and other brands that make me think of you on ThredUp. I see things all the time and wish I could just telepathically send you the links

we're in total agreement. I got a refund for the cheek and lip tint and that greasy balm mess. I love WTF and the concealer sticks. I said grown up glossier too! I am interested in the mascara...maybe one day. I do have very dry skin, and the jones road peeps told me not to wear skincare underneath, which I don't love because I like my own skincare, but it works great on me. they also told me I could use setting powder under eyes and over foundation, so you were right to do that! anyway, approaching 40, I like it, especially as someone who rarely wears makeup anymore.

How does the Jones Road compare to the Monika Blunder foundation?

My pores don’t do well with wax applied over them. I wish Bobbi Brown would come out with skin products that weren’t just for dry dry skin.

I def prefer the face pencils (I use 4 and 7) to the WTF. WTF is a bit sticky but still for someone who doesn't wear makeup, I'm happy with it but will stick with the pencils when WTF runs out. (also wish they'd not scented the WTF)

I have bought my salt ny and have no need for Jones Rd. Kackie I pick my scalp. How do I stop? Why do I do it. Anyone? I know it feels like it has something to do with anxiety. Not sure if I do it because I am anxious or it makes me anxious perhaps both. I do have an issues with picking scabs but I used to self injure also. Am I alone?

How does the texture of the foundation compare to something like sneaky balm?

How does it compare to RMS beauty?
