Jones Road opinions?

I was able to go the Jones Road store in Greenwich Village a month ago and try it out and liked it enough that I bought it. After a month of use I can say that it is even better than I thought it would be. It gives me very light, very natural looking “coverage” (it doesn’t really cover, it more evens things out, maybe blurs a bit) that does not settle into fine lines at all, even after a full day of wear, moisturizes, imparts a lovely glow. I can use it all over my face which I had long since stopped doing with foundations. As for any stickiness, I’d say it’s important to know that a little goes a very long way, and to the extent that it might feel a touch tacky on my skin, it feels like moisture to me. I’m ok with that.

Now that I’ve tried and used WTF as well as the Miracle Balms and the Face Pencils, I have concluded that at least with respect to those foundational products, Jones Road is definitely not for everyone. It’s not going to provide a look that is like what most makeup lines provide. In fact, it took me some time to adjust my eye to it. It’s not like any other makeup line I’ve ever used. But that is the thing - to me it feels forward looking, and innovative in a way that really serves me well.

I promise I’m not affiliated with Jones Road in any way! I just have always loved makeup and am really enjoying this new to me line.

The foundation is fine. It isn't sticky or heavy. It's the Miracle Balm that is.

I have the moisturize balm and a color balm. Both are very greasy & smell bad. Feels like it lays on top of the skin like Vaseline. I use very little. Disappointed in these products.

If you are young, embrace your natural skin oil. I would stay away from these pricey, greasy balms.

I do use the color balm on dry lips. Has a chapstick feeling

Yes and it is a big DISGUSTING SCAM! I purchased the miracle balm and hippie stick,worst waste of money ever they smell like cut grass mixed with shortening! The miracle balm leaves skin greasy and shiny,and very malodorous! The hippie stick all products made with same ingredients! As for using a dab on hair for "frizzies" Forget it get a handful of lard will smell better and have same effect of weighting down hair leaving looking dirty, GREASY and smelling horrible! No surprise Bobbie Brown washed her hands of this disastrous line! Got everyone with the hype and left when we all found out we had been SCAMMED!

I’m sad because I really love how the what the foundation looks, but I am forced to admit that it makes me break out.

The miracle balm is terrible on my skin but I use it to tame the little flyaways in my hair

I am 53 and I really like the miracle balm a lot. I went to the store in East Hampton, and one of those intro kits that contained five items, including a mini miracle balm in Flushed. It hasn’t made me break out at all, and I love that it is a moisturized and natural look.

Before this, I was using the Ilia multi stick and I think the Jones Road product last longer.

I don’t care for the lipgloss and I find that I don’t use the gel bronzer, but the miracle bond is a keeper for me and I will buy it again when this runs out.
