Jones Road Daily for 3 Weeks: WTF, Miami Beach Miracle Balm, Best Eye Shadow, The Mascara and More! 

I’m waiting for my orders to arrive. As a 60 year old, I’ve found out that less is more makeup-wise for my skin. I can’t wait to try it! Thanks for sharing your experience.

Hey Beth like you I came late to the game. I'm 65 with dry skin, and I have found that using the Miracle Balm as my primer has been a huge success. I first apply Miracle Balm all over my face (Miami Beach, Dusty Rose, or Sunkissed, depending on my mood) and find that it gives me a sheer veil of luminous color. This is great on those days when my skin is dull (lack of sleep, etc). Then I apply WTF in Medium and it gives my skin a nice glow. If going for a more matte look, I apply powder. The bonus is that after using this for a little more than a month, my skin has improved. It's more soft and velvety. I also found the Face pencils great for more coverage and so convenient - I keep them in my purse for touch ups. Mascara - great! Wears very well. I have several more of her products and overall am very pleased. This is now my go to brand. BTW, love your videos, keep them coming!

This is a really great review. I think that you’ve managed to showcase how the brand was hoping for their products to be received and worn. I’ve seen others put this line in such a negative light, when it’s obvious that the person using it is a lover of and expecting the products to provide a heavy coverage matte look. That is something which Bobbi Brown has never been about. Since I personally prefer a more satin finish, solid medium coverage foundation, I think the Jones Road WTF wouldn’t be for me, but appreciate how it could be perfect for others. After all there is truly no shortage of high coverage foundations that are available right now. I believe that Jones Road is filling a much needed niche in beauty market. Thank you for sharing! ❤

I use the Miracle Balm, and after getting used to the newness of the textures, I really like them! I use Au Naturel over my whole face and Miami Beach for cheek color. I just turned 71 and my old routine was just making me look more dry and a bit dull. My skin is very dry and these products do what I haven’t found in other brands. I use them over my sunscreen and other skin treatments. It lasts all day, but is easy to touch up too. After your review, I will try the eye shadow. And maybe another color of the Miracle Balm. Thank you for this comprehensive review!

This is a really informative and well presented tutorial for Jones Road makeup. I ordered and have been using the WTF foundation, miracle balm and face sticks. Watching this helped me put it all together for a pretty everyday look. Thank you for sharing the history of BB and your knowledge of makeup application. Well done and fun to watch👏🏼

Great review. It’s nice to see one that is so articulate and well thought out, refreshing in the makeup review arena. Thanks!

I bought the Face Pencil and Miracle Balm as soon as they came out and have built my JR kit. I am almost 61, with very dry, sensitive skin that tends to be red around my nose and center of my face. The WTF and Face pencil are all I use for a no make up make up, I also have the Matt shadow in Ash, Just A Sec (when I use eye shadow it usually only eye primer then a light pat of pressed powder and a brown liner) and The Pencil for a liner. I have the Brow pencil but I use a fine eyebrow brush and run it over the pencil to use on my brows. I have the Lip and Cheek color (it stays in my purse). I have 3 Miracle Balms now (Au Naturale, Dusty Rose and Tawny). You do need an eye primer when using the shadows- the one thing I noticed is that the shadows are saturated so starting lightly with them and building up is a definite requirement (I do the one shadow look where it’s very light on the lid but I build it up in the crease and in the outer corner. The products I use not JR is my mascara (Physicians Formula Diamond in Black), brow gel, and from Fresh Beauty Studio I use the pressed powder in Nikita Banana (just in my t-zone) and Eye Primer in Light/Medium, and finally, Blistex Lip Vibrance Tinted Lip Moisturizer in the Rosy tone. So that is 10 JR products that are buildable, and 5 non-JR products. And the majority of people ask my secret to my clear and healthy skin but it’s my no makeup makeup look they are seeing, not layers and layers of product. Other than my La Roche-Posay skin care regimen, this makeup has my skin feeling hydrated all day and it has not slipped at all or separated during the day.

Many thanks for the honest review! I appreciate that You are doing it after wearing everything for three weeks, which gives You enough time to form a true opinion rather just first impressions..

Loved your review! It was honest and I appreciate how you added in bits of info I thought were important. Probably the best I’ve seen. Thank you so much! ❤❤❤

This is by far the best review I’ve seen on jones road products! Thank you!

Much appreciated! Been eyeballing these products for awhile now. This video helped a lot!

Thank you for a wonderful review, you're absolutely gorgeous and I love your hair 💖💖

Great review. I am going to purchase…thank you for your honesty.

Thank you so much for this review! My order of Jones Road is on the way and I'm getting excited! My skin is dry and i want fast, light makeup, so this line is what I'm going for 😊

First time viewer…really informative review! Thanks. I’ve been curious about Jones Road. Subscribed. 😊

This is one of the best reviews of Jones Road products that I’ve seen! Thank you!

Excellent review and AMAZING HAIR!

I completely enjoyed your review. Refreshingly honest and transparent

I’m a little late looking at your video, but I’m so glad I found it! Such an intelligent and detailed review. I have most of the products you chose and in the same shades. Miami Beach, Pastel Pink gloss, WTF in fair and same eyeshadows. I love how you applied each of them and with great tips! Thank you!

Hi Beth! Hope you’re doing well❤. I’m so glad you made this video. I have wanted to try this foundation for so long (love Bobbi Brown!), but I refrained because of Angie’s review. I’m so glad you shared this!!🤗❤️

I love Jones Road and thought your critique was clear with good explanations and instructions.

excellent review. I watched the entire thing. I just started using Jones Road products and am getting a great result. I agree about the mascara... well said.

This is such a fantastic review/tutorial! I grew up with Bobbi Brown in the 90s/2000s and I love how you point things out about her style and products and challenging the makeup industry with these new revolutionary products. I ordered some last summer but was not knowledgeable on how to use them, so I am coming back to them and videos like yours are so helpful!! You are gorgeous. I love your hair, too.

I was very excited to find your channel! I just started using Jones Road and love it. Also I’m 48 and transitioning to my gray hair this month. You look beautiful ❤

Great review, thank you! I’m really interested in this foundation and the balms.

Great review. You told me all I need to know to make informed decision on whether or not I'll like this product.

This is a fantastic detailed honest review! Looks beautiful on you . I agree with others one of the best articulate reviews of her products! I think Bobbi Brown is a genius when it comes to the no make up look that enhances a Womans face. I have purchased several of her products and I love the scent of the WTfoundation.

I recently purchased 4-5 items and am excited to try them. Awaiting their arrival. I wish it were in store to really decide the colors I wanted. I’m mostly excited about my bronzer-Dusty Rose!

Great review! Thank you!

Just bought 200 dollars worth of Jones Road products. All before watching any videos. I haven't received them yet . I am 67 and love, love BB's new concept. I have only used bare minerals cosmetics for the past 15 years. Your video gives me good vibes about the products. Thanks.

Thank you. This is the first review that I’ve watch that actually explain the product to me how is intended. I bought the WTF looking for a foundation that will be nourishing without being greasy. I live in Florida, but winter has been rough this year. So far I been loving it, even without powdering. I have a miracle balm on its way and I think I’m going to buy all natural miracle balm as a highlight and as a primer for this and some of my more matte foundations. I was wondering about the concealer pencil but I think I will give them a try as well. I’m a product consumer, not a make up line consumer, but this line speaks to me.

I am the same way with being late to the party! Lol I love the way the mascara looked!

Hi Beth! I'm so glad you are reviewing the Jones Road products. I've heard many, and not very favorable. I hope that you like the foundation. Great. It looks gorgeous on your skin. Right now, I'm loving the new Saie Serum Foundation. So nice. And the liquid highlighter is gorgeous. The eyeshadow looks stunning, but it definitely is on the higher side. I agree with you. Most days, for me, it's one or 2 colors, some mascara, and I'm finished. I'm out the door at 5:45 on the days that I watch my grandson. So, it's a simple makeup look. I don't want to scare him! LOL Wow to the mascara!! What a beautiful, natural look. You look gorgeous, Beth❣💖🥰

Hi Beth, really beautiful products, they look great and flattering on you. I really loved the eyeshadows. The only things I like on my face are the Ordinary serums, Charlotte Tilbury’s magic cream, a little concealer, eyeshadow, mascara and of course lipstick 💄. Sunscreen when I go outside 👍 I think the new products will do great 🎉

I literally just purchased some of the Jones Road cosmetics, opened RU-vid and read your review. I've read others, some positive, some not, and made up my mind to try them in my "mature" years. You have an excellent eye for colors that work so well for you - my hair is more white and I'm very fair but I'm certain I made the right choices for me. I just hope they don't take refuge in my, what do you call them? Oh yeah - mature wrinkles!! LOL That it is Cruelty-Free is important to me and I always double-check with Cruel Kitty and PETA. Thank you for your video - can't wait until I receive my products and start playing and practicing! 🤩

57 here and just getting around to thinking about trying this line. I am hoping this brand will be good for incredibly hot, dry Arizona summers. I hope the products look half as beautiful on me as they do on you! Thank you for this outstanding review.

I LOVE the smokey grey eyeshadow...it's one of the best shade and formula-wise I've ever tried. And I totally agree with you about the mascara - I found it to be really clumpy and really not related to the rest of the line.

I’m a new subscriber and found you as I was looking for a Jones Road WTF review. Thank you so much for your intelligent, informative review. So much information delivered in such a pleasant and thoughtful manner! I have several miracle balms and eye shadows which I love. My most used balm is Magic Hour which I pat all over my face for a lovely glow. I wanted to buy additional products and as I was headed to NYC, I decided to go to their brick and mortar store and get some in person assistance. It was such a treat and I purchased the Miami Beach balm, WTF in fair, the Pastel Pink lip gloss, Just A Sec eye shadow in Golden Peach, The Best Eyeshadow in Champagne and 2 face pencils. As you can imagine, I was thrilled with the results. The make up artist selected the perfect products for me. I told him I was looking for a spring/summer look. Now that I have these new products in hand, I’ve watched your video 4 times! Thank you!

I love your hair colour!💗

Always so lovely

Thank you for thisnreview. I have been playing around with wanting to try this product but most of the reviews claimed it is very sticky and/or tacky. Your review is the first positive review I have seen. I am not interested in foundations or anything like that. Just the Miracle Balm for a quick sheer look with a hint of color. I may try it because it comes with a 30 day money back guarantee so if I don't like it I can send it back no questions asked. You have given me hope so thank you. I am 55yrs old.

Love your hair!

Great review of the line

These products look great on you. You always give a very comprehensive review with in-depth research on your part. In my quest to find a replacement for my Cle De Peau radiant cream for a lighter summer texture, I have thought about this line. My research has been with my mature age group (65 and up). In that group this brand did not make a good impression. Most of us need fresher dewy skin, but TOO much is not a good thing. I made the choice to look at the newly formulated Sublimage (after seeing you review and others) and now the CDP new cushion. I am currently on the fence. Have been using the samples supplied from the Chanel counter in both B30 and B32. Either works beautifully, but the CDP foundations have a prefect shade match for me. All of them are pricy, but worth it to me if they enhance me without looking made up as you describe the new era emerging.

Thank you for this review. My hair color is very similar to yours. I just turned 60 and I’ve not worn a lot of make up. I really like how easy the eye shadow was to apply….

Personally, I have never really liked eye shadow pallets. I always end up using only one or two, never touch the rest of the pallet, and it goes to waste. So I really appreciate the idea of getting one or two shades in a large long-lasting size. I haven’t found but one of the Jones Road shadows that I would consider purchasing…so I’m waiting for more. Thanks for the thorough review.

Hi Beth! 🙂 I'll respond to your invitation to discuss makeup in general. I've been thinking about using color theory to counteract the "washed out" effect many of us with paler complexions try to avoid when we have silver hair. When painting, we know all skin tones can be made by combining paints with various ratios of the primary colors: red, yellow and blue. And then of course adding white will lighten the tone if the painter wishes to paint paler skin. Another way to think of it is combining pink (red plus white), pastel yellow (yellow plus white), and pastel blue (blue plus white). Here's what I think: for those with paler skin, we will look "washed out," if our skin tones lean cooler and grayish-blue next to our cool silver hair. Subconsciously I think the blue-on-blue effect makes us look sickly. But if there is a bit of contrast, such that our skin tones lean warmer and yellow-tan next to our cool silver hair, I think subconsciously we'll look like we've had a healthy bit of sun. And I think if our skin tones lean pinker next to our silver hair, we subconsciously look capable of a flush or blush, indicating a healthy blood flow (bluish skin subconsciously appears as though there is not enough blood flow). I have nine months of cool-toned silver hair growth crowning my head, which transitions to brown hair ending just below the shoulders. Coincidentally, I also have pale neutral-olive 🫒 skin, and hazel eyes. When I'm not tan, my olive skin naturally leans slightly cool-toned and blue/gray. When my hair was brown, I think the contrast of the warmer toned hair helped. But now that I've chosen to go silver, I don't necessarily look my best if I use foundations that are an exact match to my skin tone. I like to warm up my skin tone just a touch with slightly yellower/tan foundation, to create a healthier contrast with my increasingly cool-toned hair. And of course I can add the pink tones on the cheeks and lips to create the healthy flush look. Looking at you in this video, Beth, I see the colors of your shirt and eye shadow resemble colors in your eyes and hair. To me this simplified color palette makes it easier to see how your skin tone and foundation contrasts with your silver hair. To my eye, your skin reads a bit warmer than your silver hair, ergo to me your skin does not look washed out. So to me, I believe you're subconsciously looking healthy given this subtle contrast between your skin and your hair. So that's my little theory about how we can avoid looking washed out with silver hair. But I'm not an expert at any of this. I've just been trying to think this through given so many who discuss things like seasonal color analysis seem to add silver sisters in as an after thought. I think when choosing colors of clothing I'll wear whatever I want, as long as the clothing doesn't seem to emphasize the blue aspect of my olive skin. As always I appreciate your product review and application demo today, Beth. Thanks so much for trying the Jones Road products so thoroughly before describing them. All the best. 🦋🧡🦋

I want to try all this!! (Bobbi Brown signed a non-compete but once it expired = JONES ROAD!!)

I’ve tried Jones Road. I have very dry skin. Late 60s. I love WTFoundation. It melts right into the skin. It lasts all day without changing. Works great under the eyes; don’t really need a concealer. Miracle Balm (in Dusty Rose), was a disaster. It has glitter, so exaggerates everything. By itself, on my very dry skin, it would totally dry out in about 4 hours, leaving this stale pink on the face. Tried it with foundation, same results. Tried it as blush - not quite dark enough - but it looks strange oil shiny in those spots. I tried it all sorts of ways. Nothing worked, except on the lips. On the lips it looked really nice and stayed on fairly well. And there is the smell. After a while, it just gets annoying. It’s really expensive stuff, so I kept trying, but in the end threw it away. Nothing I could do with it. That was my experience.

Hi Beth, thank you and great review. I have been wondering if Jones Road could work for me. My skinn is olive and has a lot of moisture still, too much actually. Currently I have been trying out Trinny London and love her stuff- I get a lot of compliments. I appreciate your reviews. New sub!

I think if you dug down deeper in the Miracle Balm, as they recommend you do, you’d get a more intense color.

Enjoyed your review…

I was so happy when she launched this line. I loved her in the 90s and I love her now. Low maintenance, natural (in different ways in both eras) and glamorous. I really plan on it carrying me through my 40s for as long as it’s around. If you’re willing to play a little more with the shimmer oils I would like that.

Agree about the foundation names: my skin tone is fair but I have to use Porcelain. That said, I love it and the whole brand!!

I have ordered the foundation, miracle balm, and face pencil. I love the foundation. I am 62 years old and am very, very picky about my skin. I have since a very young age taken very good care of my skin and still do. I have never used any products from Bobbi Brown but I am very impressed with these products. The moisturizing of the balm and foundation is good for the older skin. I am not greasy, etc., and knowing what the skin needs to stay without speedy aging, is to give it moisture. I am getting ready for my second order. The foundation is NOT for full coverage but just to enhance and blur the skin. Because I used to make soap I understand the effect oils can have on the skin. I think if people want to have a full-face foundation get yourself a full coverage one. This does not fall into that category. Once again, I find these products a plus for my skin. I don't get the stiff feeling halfway through the day when the skin is asking for more moisture.

I’m 63 and have be been using it for 3 days . I also powder it a bit with wet wild setting powder and I def apply less than you. lol 😆 actually like the foundation. I just think I’m applying moisturizer to my face . Tfs

6:34 You actually don't need a primer with this product at all. Many professional Makeup Artists don't use primer unless under very specific circumstances on certain parts of the face under very specific conditions. This is a tinted skin care product, so direct application is ides. As a tangent: Bobbi herself says not to use moisturizer first if our skin is oily.

Pretty! What is your best way to remove the oily Jones Road foundation / makeup? Thank you.

I have the miracle balm and really love it. I have tried the WTF but didn't get it. Felt very greasy.... But I do want to try out some of her other products.

I found that I too enjoy wtf. Bought porcelain which has a greyish tone on me which I quite like. My favourite shadows are biba and nars climax. I didn't pick up the shadows as I noticed they faded off my hand quickly - Was that the same for you? Great informative video

I do have a question do you prefer the au natural miracle balm as highlighter over the Shimmer face oil as a highlighter? Thanks

Can you please try their bronzer too? If we look at the before and after bronzer (26:30 ish) - it ruined it. Your face looked fresh and gorgeous before and muddy and dry after. The products don't seem to mix well.

What number face pencil do you use? I’m struggling as to which one to start with. I am planning to purchase the fair WTF and we seem to have the same skin tone so I am curious to your recommendation.

You look great. I think you would look even better with cooler colours.

Great review. I'm 49 and my skin is changing due to hormones and curious about JR. My skin was always dry but now I'm becoming combo. I like that it would be light coverage. Less is always more. Seint applied lightly has been my go to lately but Im always in search of better. Informative video but the focus variation was distracting.

It's beauty as skin care.

I have the miracle balm in tawny and I plan to use that for a natural glow in the summer. It works well with my moisturizer which is oil of Olay. And then, of course, I always wear sunscreen. ❤

I'm struck by your description of how Miracle Balm feels to you. Another reviewer said it felt just sticky all day, and that never went away. That gave me pause as I'd not like to shell out that amount of money for a sticky-feeling product. You seem to have a different impression of its feel. Interesting.

I love the Chanel Sublimage but it’s now $135😮. I think I. See to try this.

I have a few "miracle balms" from another brand because I wanted to see if I would like them. Right now I don't know what color(s) to purchase. I'm not into wearing a lot of makeup and never have been one to use a lot of face products in my skincare routine I had very oily skin, and now since I am over 50, it's more combination-like. I did contact JRB and sent them a makeup-free picture of myself in hopes that they can be of assistance to me. I don't mind spending a bit if I can get a product that works and I can use for multiple things. (I.e., cheeks & gloss)

I think this line looks greasy not glowy. I appreciate you showing it, because is shows me it is not for me.

How did you choose your foundation color from the web site? Did you go by their quiz or send a selfie?

Never mind you did say it

Well I was going to get fair but now undecided 😂 so I am fair with neutral undertones. I don’t currently use foundation so I don’t know what to compare it to.

I have heard that miracle balm is very gloppy all day.. what are your thoughts?

I'm 51 with combination skin and these products were way too oily for me.

What kind of powder?

What shade in the wtf do you use

Does this mascara smudge?

What foundation and powder brushes do you use?

Does it make your face sticky??

You should say which colors you are using

I don’t listen to Angie hot and flashy anymore with foundation reviews. I know what fits her skin usually doesn’t mine and also if she complains about something being to green and gray I also now it will match me the best. Rant over. Jones road open up a brick and mortar this spring near me. I think I will stop by summers end when my skin gets dryer for the fall. Wait where did you get that extra wide pencil sharpener. I thought for sure Elf would have one for their chubby sticks but it doesn’t fit. I even bought the biggest on Amazon and still is too small. It’s like I never got the memo. What the heck

Attn: Angie has oily skin. This makeup is not for people with oily or even normal,skin.

Which shade is this in the foundation?

Unfortunately, the packaging isn't durable. Both of the lids on my WTF's have both split for no reason at all. Cheap.

I’m 56. I had such high hopes for the JR balm and the foundation. It arrived today. I’m sooo disappointed. I so wanted to say it was amazing I loved it. But I’m returning both I did not like it at all. Honestly it feels and looks exactly like I smeared Vaseline all over my face. I hope some other ladies like it. But it’s not for me at all. I wanted a light natural looking tinted face cover. This did not deliver that for me at all. See how greasy her face looks! It’s terrible 😂

Dumped my WTF foundation-a sticky mess with tiny clumps in it. What a waste of money.

Wow that lip gloss is a miss! What a cheap applicator! Reminds me of preteen makeup.

What color WTF

WTF foundation most times should be applied without moisturizer on your skin bec of all the “beautiful oils,” as Bobby explains. If you think your skin was too dewy, this is probably bec of the extra moisture from your moisturizer. If your skin is extra dry, you may not have a problem. Because you see the need to powder it, try it without your moisturizer and see if the powder is still needed. Also, Bobby describes it as a tinted moisturizer despite its name. Also, I noticed you didn’t break the seal enough on the miracle balm product you have. You need to really dig into it and form a hole, not just a depression like you did. Digging it out of a hole, you’ll see a lot of it on your finger, like a paste that you need to warm between your fingers before application. I think Bobby’s team needs to be more descriptive in how to use it bec you’re one of many influencers that had this experience 😍

Do not like fragrance in my make up game changer 😢

Sure love Bobbi Brown but not Jones Road.

A bit too shiny not dewy. Looks oily

so out of focus

I didn’t like it…It’s too greasy.

Big waste of $ ! Could’ve used Vaseline and a crème blush and looked nicer! Big marketing hype… more people do not like it than do.sticky greasy looking and tacky😮 Bobbi brown sold us out on this one. What an expensive mistake for me but not for Bobbi brown!

Hey, It is the first time I watch your video. I got fooled by your grey hair. You sound young and your face looks young…I find that your grey hair ages and does not make sense.
