Okay I knew a *bit* about the drama on TikTok with this product but finally watched all the stuff AFTER filming. 😂 WOW! Glad I tried the WTF foundation in different ways because I do actually like it. Of course, I also like low-medium coverage foundation too!
You used a lot more WTF foundation than Bobbie Brown said to use. She said to use VERY little with a brush or hands. She has a video up demonstrating. It seems that the product should come with more detailed instructions. Thank you for trying new brands and introducing us to different things.
I like Bobbi Brown but yet again, the assumption is women my age always need balms and oils and giant sticks of moisturizer. I’m just sitting here waiting to give my money to the first makeup brand to realize that some older women have very oily skin and need good products that stick to oily, aging skin without causing breakouts.
Yes!! My skin seems like it gets more oily the older I get. This video is the first one I've seen that the foundation hadn't separated and looked decent. In the others, the foundation has a half inch of oil floating around on top. That's way too much of a "glowing" look for me.
Both Jones Rd and Bobbi Brown range leave me scratching my head. Like is Bobbi Brown any good at makeup? (Skincare is not even a question). None of her products preform for me. Who wants to slather balms and essential oils on their face?? Yuk
Right?!!! I’m 44, have plump oily skin and the best foundation I’ve got right now is Essence Pretty Natural. I cannot believe how beautiful it is and how long it lasts. This Texas heat tries to melt it off my face though, lol.
youre the first influencer to actually start over after the hippie stick messed everything up 😅 THANK YOU!! finally a review trying the makeup in different ways!!
@@Camille_Anderson I saw that too! I thought it was weird for her to come on and say "Hey, use this $280.00 moisturizer and you won't even need to wear my foundation!" I thought it was very strange. 🤷
Please Jessica 🙏, put down the shade name of everything you use in the description box. It will help me as i take you as a reference of what shade i should buy for me
I agree! Most days, as I’m rushing to my teaching position, I don’t have time for anything fancy so I do a one eye shadow look - 99% of the time, it’s eye shadows that Jess recommends.
The products look lovely on your youger skin, Jess, though in my early 60's with dry skin I might be her "target audience"---but who knows? I'm going to pass on the whole line, I think. My skin is good and my face isn't too scary, so I achieve a no-makeup look by ... going without makeup. ;) Sunscreen, maybe a light dusting of powder on potentially sweat-prone areas, and lipbalm. Maybe I've just become more of a curmudgeon, but if I'm going to look pretty much bare-faced, I can do it for a lot less than Bobbie is charging. As for you, you look stunning in pretty much everything. Love your videos, love your reviews, and wishing you and your beautiful family all the best.
Lol I'm 25 and do this too. Spf, let it set, powder, brown mascara (I'm a natural red head so my lashes need some color), lip balm, and out the car door. I only wear my makeup when I am going out with my husband so doing it in the car while he drive guarantees we are never late
the point isn't to look like you aren't wearing any makeup-it is to even the skin tone and add a bit of color, which almost everyone can use. These products make a subtle but important difference.
The line “the world doesn’t need more beauty products, it needs better beauty products” is so… odd? Idk the right word for it cuz it’s like the world doesn’t need more beauty products but here’s more beauty products, they’re just better 😂 is that not ridiculous. Especially when you realize Bobbi Brown sold her brand and made a new one. If the world needs better beauty products and not more, why not make those products within the Bobbi Brown brand?
Because she didn't own Bobbi Brown after I think 1995 - Estee Lauder owned the majority when she sold it, so anything she created under her own name thereafter was property of Estee Lauder, not BB herself. If she wanted to add something to the market, and wanted to make the money on it herself, she was better off waiting to leave EL in 2016, waiting on her non compete to end in 2020, and launching what she wanted to.
Off topic, but your beloved No7 powder has been repackaged and it also appears to have been reformulated. The reviews are terrible for it over here in the UK. Not sure if you can still get the one in the silver packaging anymore, we can't. If you can, stock up or you may be in for some disappointment.
They say the formula hasn't changed but the reviews say otherwise. Same for their hydraluminous foundation, it's supposedly the same formula but it doesn't work the same :(
I've been looking for that powder and couldn't find it here in the UK. Is it in a white compact with a different name? maybe flawless something. Such a shame they reformulated it.
Jess, you need to do a video of how many of your eyeshadows are a rosy or peachy gold. Count and determine what percentage of total eyeshadows are basically the same color.
This is the kind of makeup line that assumes you already have great skin, and will charge you for the privilege of looking "natural" "without makeup on." Pass.
I mean, if you ever saw any of the makeup application videos Bobbi ever did, it was always on young pretty models with flawless skin no matter how many ppl complained. Bobbi doesn’t care. She wants to push a specific aesthetic to sell product.
The Jones Road beauty line literally gave me the confidence to leave my house. I’m 50, and I’ve been watching Jessica for years, since her decluttering days at her parents house. During the height of the pandemic, we lost the family business and my confidence was nonexistent. I also follow a very low-fat diet because I don’t have a gallbladder and my skin looked like it belonged to a significantly older woman. This line of cosmetics has been the ONLY line to make me look and feel attractive, and I usually do not ever feel attractive, that’s just my nature. Im reopening the business and I’m not going to scare anyone away with the condition of my skin, thanks to Jones Road.
Completely unrelated: Just saw an ad from makeup brand Pür instructing how to get the "sunburned look". To me, having had severe sunburns in my life, this is a godawful, terrible idea to promote. Why in the world would anybody want to look sunburned and why in the world would any beauty brand glorify such a thing? Utterly irresponsible. I'm just a rando on the web, and only follow three BeautyTubers these days (you, Emily Noel, Zabrena), so maybe I'm behind on trends, but I'm utterly horrified that looking sunburned would be considered an "in" look. Sorry for a ranty tangent, but dang...
people are gonna tan no matter what you do about it… i think it’s better to promote getting that look(which is why anyone tans anyways-the specific look) with makeup and things like self tanner etc than to actually have them go tan. You won’t be able to stop everyone from irresponsible sun exposure but like that’s an impossible task anyways
I am 45 and have very oily skin. I love the Mirwxle Balm in "Flushed," my #2 pencil and the WTF foundation in porcelain. Like you, I felt it was a perfect shade match and makes me look like I am "naturally beautiful." However, the WTF doesn't have staying power for me. I only use it for event makeup when I only need a look to past a few hours. For all day I need something more durable and oily friendly. Too bad because the shade is spot on.
I’ve had the miracle balm since it came out and love it. There is really nothing that it can’t pair with, under blush over blush, over powder, under powder, paired with bronzer etc. It is very versatile and I’m pretty impressed with it.
They wouldn't have had to declare bankruptcy if they'd leave their damn product line alone! They have discontinued every amazing product or shade theyve ever had.
Jones Road really does have Glossier vibes! I bet as a full on no make up makeup look it would be great. Just a little fine tuning to bare skin. and it would wear off nicely. I look forward to hearing some follow up opinions on these things. Thanks!
I visited my best friend in Indy this past weekend (I live in upstate NY). I made sure we made a stop at Meijer 😅 and I won’t lie, I totally looked around the corners expecting to see you in one of the aisles lol. She’s not a makeup lover (or RU-vid watcher) so I know I sounded crazy when I told her “my RU-vid friend Jessi talks about Meijer all the time so I had to come see what the hype is!” 😂 ps, the hype is worth it, I even hit another one in Ohio on my drive home lol 🤭
I really appreciate that you gave the products a fair shot, i.e. read the info on the website and washed off the Hippy Stick when it didn't work out. This brand really speaks to me as a consumer (minimalist packaging, no makeup makeup) but I've felt like a lot of reviews on RU-vid have been a bit unfair, I mean they're not aimed at creating a full glam look. IDK, personally I really like this brand!!
I think it's well thought out for what it is. Might not be for most average consumers, but many of her product sizes are quite kit-friendly. Loving the latest from professional makeup artist brands like Makeup by Mario, Danessa Myricks, Jones Road, etc. They bring a good blend of cohesive basics and innovation to the table.
@@mindygooding9458 You're welcome. I just think we all need to at least know who we are dealing with so we can make informed choices. I know not everyone cares, but for those who do, I like to put it out there. Jones Road is cruelty free.
I’m sick with COVID, so I’m happy to have lots of RU-vid distraction! I think clean beauty is gimmicky, but there are some products from this brand I’ve been curious about
This definitely seems to be a Grown Up Glossier. I enjoy balmy, moisturising products and yes, the ingredients seem to be good but my issue is that I see low-pigment products as kind of poor value for money. For example, I could use a moisturising lipstick or even lip oil for a balmy cream blush. Same with the low pigment/sheer eyeshadows.
you're right, and I do that from time to time. but for an every day product, you would run out of the products you already have fairly quickly. so the value is same same imo :)
These products are a hard pass. Seems not intuitive and overall heavy greasy and hmmm 🤔 idk just not loving these products based on the numerous reviews I’ve seen
I just received my order and I love it ❤️ I’m obsessed. More importantly, I think you might really love the *lip and cheek stick* which is a gorgeous formula.
So glad you tried this brand for me well before me, I just don't think it's for me so thanks now I don't have to put out the cash, from Arizona stay safe stay healthy stay cool 😎
Jessica... this comment is unrelated to this video, however... if you want to buy Gigi a "big girl" Disney necklace, a lot of the Disney jewelry at JCPenny is 66% off right now.
Too expensive to look like you don’t have anything on …the eyeshadows 24 for one eyeshadow….nope 50.00 for 2 not so much when can get a palette for same price!
My thought is, tho, with palettes, many people just use a few favorite shades. The rest basically just lie there for years to die. So even if you get more colors in a palette, unless you use them all, is it really cheaper?
Thank you for reviewing Jones Road. From a makeup artist point of view, I think these products would be perfect for makeup artists to achieve the current trend of makeup everyone seems to want. I would give them a go.
I love that you mentioned Revlon whipped foundation. I bought that so long ago to try something new (I had a coupon) and I fell in love. I was so disappointed when it was discontinued. I bought a couple jars before I couldn't get it anymore.
Pass. You can get quality, beautiful products at the drugstore for significantly less money. Thank you so much for trying all these products so that we can see what they’re like without having to buy them ourselves! 😘
Why is every last complexion product for us "mature" women made for DRY skin? I'm 50, and my skin is still just as oily as it was in my 20's. And can't wear a single one of the more popular foundation releases of late.
Your top is so cute. Drama is silly. Yes, it's made for dryer, mature skin. Many women don't. For all who don't, not every product is made for everyone, nor do they have to be. I'm over 40, normal skin, after fixing my super oily skin with facial oils. I like a light complexion product and found light to minimal coverage working best over 40, which she is right about. Yes, it is a pricier brand, but so aren't many brands and there are many options for everyone. I fell in love with a $40 primer which I love under a tinted moisturizer or instead of one so worth the price for me because it fills my needs. People too often thrive on complaining or bashing. Companies create products. If it works for us, we have opportunity to buy. If we don't want it or don't like the cost or find it right for our needs, we can buy something else.
so refreshing to read this comment. there is a lot of bashing of this brand in the comments and it's coming from the people who don't understand. I'm 43 and still like to play with my makeup but, if I'm being honest, I look much better and more youthful with less makeup. my mom actually complimented my eye makeup recently and I wasn't even wearing any lol this line is for a certain audience and we're here for it. it isn't a typical brand and that's the entire point!
Jess, I loved this review!! I love all things Bobbi Brown except the price point. I have been curious about this line. Btw I am a hardcore fan of Revlon Color stay Whipped cream foundation. I still have two sealed tubs in my stash in Buff 110. Again, loved this review!!
Thanks so much for trying this brand!! I’ve been watching Bobbi Brown’s demos and have been so curious. I hope you do a follow up after you try it a few more time. Really curious how it wears through the day!! 💖
Thanks for testing this and for such an open minded and detailed review! To be honest everything seemed pretty meh to me, they might have a place in very specific circumstances but they are definitely not worth the extortionate price tags! So I'll be giving it a miss. Thank you for saving me money! ❤️
I feel bad for the brand that people are trying it assuming it’s going to do something for them it’s not designed to. Look at BB’s complexion and the models she uses after application. It’s supposed to be ultra natural looking and IMO for people with drier skin. Why would people roast the products if they aren’t getting full coverage and it’s oily looking when it wasn’t right for them to begin with? I don’t get it.
Couple month ago I saw the foundation was newly launched on credo and immediately get tagged by credo as “fan fave” or “bestseller”, cannot recall the exact word the website use. But I remember I was laughing out loud because I know it’s a lie like how a just release product being tagged by those words??? and that was actually the reason why I didn’t try it out, also why I don’t like credo anymore
This whole line reminds me of glossier. It looks good if you already have nice skin without too much to cover, especially normal to dry skin. This line is probably good for that too with the balms and the light coverage. Not for me with my oily combo skin with patches of melasma and some redness to cover.
One of the things that I respect and admire about your videos is that you are straight up honest and genuine in your reviews. Too many creators like to sugar coat things to stay on PR lists, but you give honest reviews, good or bad. Thank you for that!
Not every makeup has to work for everyone. People with oily skin should probably avoid balms and people with dry skin should probably avoid mattes. There are plenty of matte oil control foundations for oil skin. Move on if its not for you.
I tried the WTF foundation and the color match was perfect, however I could not get past the tacky feeling on my skin. Same with the blush/lip color stick.
definitely for more mature dry skin and Bobbie says she hates powder on mature women as it excentuates all lines and I can confirm being 50 ish..LOL This line just does nothing for me. For a "natural" looking makeup, it still seems like a lot of work
Foundation looked really nice! Not sure about the rest. I've gotten a little tired with the constant launches (even with skincare) and find a lot of similar colours/products so I've stuck to using either sunscreen/dd cream. I recently discovered how great QV cream (while in quarantine in a hotel) feels on my face once absorbed!
I paid a fortune for some Jones roads face products. I am 59 with very dry (Sahara desert) skin and I work in a hospital where the air sucks any moisture out of your skin. I bought the balm. Foundation, blush, eyeshadow, and bronzer. The powder products are meh . .. The balm and foundation were horrid. They made my skin sag and look oily. They made me look older than I look with no makeup. Also it does not wear well. It streaks. Booo! ON the upside, I liked the corrector and concealer pencils. I gave these products to my 29 year old daughter who loves them and has drier skin than I do. She enjoys the face cream products and balm. Not for me! There are plenty of negative reviews on this on you tube. I was really disappointed. I am still all for Bobbi Brown’s face base from her original line; it doesn’t make my skin sag. The balm is straight up like Vaseline!
I live in a small town with not alot around so I love these types of videos! A fun idea for more like this (I do this for something different at work) but depending on how often you want to do these type of videos (1 a month 1 a week ECT) you would do a brand that starts with the letter of the month, so like for June Joan's road would work perfectly! And so on,
$40 for foundation?, imo thats for people with more money than brains. But that's just me.But thanks for showing us...Jessica you are just so sweet, loved that New Orleans story. Been watching you for years, even though I'm much darker than you and kove some bright stuff sometimes. Lovecfrom South Africa.please show us your BIG brushes looking for a face brush, can't find one.
