It’s made for mature skin….. I don’t understand why these young women are complaining when it’s not formulated for their skin type. 60 year old Nana here. And I love Jones Road products.
I'm in my 40,s and I love this product, it's definitely a miracle
I'm 45. I have not tried any Jones Road products *yet*, but I do think younger folks might like their stuff if they have very dry skin.
I’m 38, used my whole skincare routine with serums and creams, spf… used the nyx marshmallow primer and the WTF foundation went on great. Set it with my Huda beauty powder and didn’t need to touch up once all day.
54 here, and I love it. I do like Tawny, because I am extremely fair. I also like Pinched Cheeks. I feel like if it is sticky, then you’re using too much. I love how moisturizing it is.
I'm 74 and found it sticky even using a tiny amount and I just couldn't get past the scent. It was awful. But hopefully it works spectacularly for others 👍
I'm 58 and I love it for my older skin! It's not only an uplifting and healthy look but it's also a skin care product. I pat it onto my skin and then press, just as you did with your palms. I'm using the Flushed color on my cheeks and bridge of my nose for a playful outdoorsy look. I let it sit for a few minutes prior to using the Face Pencil where needed. It doesn't stick to my hair if I use the proper amount and let it sit and sink into my skin. Oh - and humidity - I just apply a loose fine powder if needed. For me, the Miracle Balm is a game changer!
The powder on top is something I’m getting into more and more with this! Flushed seems to be a popular pick 💕
Thank you. I am the same age as you and this is the info I was looking for 😊
I agree! Actually I didn’t care for it at first because it’s a different feeling and the smell had to grow on me. I gave it a week and have grown to really like it. When I was younger my skin was super oily but at 61 it’s changed. It doesn’t feel tacky to me. And it’s a ton of product for the price!
I am 59 and I love the way my skin feels with it on. It was made for women with mature skin.I don't feel like it would have been something I would have used about 10 years ago.

35. Can’t be any paler on spectrum. Skin is fine tho can get drier due to lots of air travel between NYC/Helsinki (and weather changes).I love JR. I’m a minimalist most times. I use my skincare(ole hendriksen) then MB in au natural. Skin pencil, cool lip gloss in pink or nude shade and MB in flushed or Miami Beach. Sometimes I use WTF. Sometimes just all iver MB dusty rose or su kissed. Brows and lashes tinted. So done in 10 min. MB takes a bit of practice (some like brush, some fingers) but when you get it, it clicks. It never gofers heavy or tacky to me and no hair issues. Just took a few mini MBs, face pencil and couple of lip balms for 6 week Africa/Europe travel. Never easier. I do think it isn’t for everyone. But it is for me.
As a mature woman of 64, this has been a game-changer for me. I suddenly have a glow like JLo and look sun-kissed!
Loved loved loved your truthfulness! -- I refuse to buy Jones Road because they inundate you with their advertising on iPhone & Ipad it’s just TOO MUCH ! It’s like they are desperate to sell
So much advertising the marketing budget must be impressive! Thanks, always honest over here 💜
Are you over 55 yrs old?
@@BrittWitkinare you over 55 yrs old? To be fair, you are not the target consumer here. You have gorgeous skin! And younger than pre senior citizen:). I’m never happy with the real moisture payoff of anti aging skin perfecting creams. This Jones Road looks like the ultimate for aging or dry skin. Cannot wait to try it. Have a friend who really enjoys it.
I have been using it and playing around with it since it has come out. The Miami Beach and Flushed give nice color. The game changer for me was buying the Jones Road Everything brush. I put the brush into the miracle balm, and pick up just a bit. I press and blend the miracle balm into my cheeks with the brush. It isn’t tacky that way and gives a good subtle wash of color.
Nice tip! I haven’t tried a brush 💜
I am so glad to hear that you are confounded by this stuff. Because I am super frustrated and super disappointed and can’t figure out how to put it on without feeling like I have candlewax on my face. I’m 68 so I do have mature skin and I wear no makeup because of my old lady skin. But this stuff I can’t figure it out
You are not alone haha 💜
i love using a brush and i feel like that helps a lot more for me too, i was confused by it at first as well, but then i saw someone do it with a brush and i tried that out and i believe it works much better and smooth.
I am 65 and fair to medium skin tone. I have Dusty Rose, Tawny, and Sunkist Miracle Balms.I use different shades on different days for different reasons and Love them all, they are a wonderful product ❤️ You just have to use a light hand on application you can always and more if needed have fun and if needed dust lightly with a fine face powder.
thanks for sharing! 💜
Not a fan of tacky. Very helpful review! Thanks Britt!
You’re welcome! 💜
Great review. I appreciate your honesty. I think everyone feels like they have to love it because of all the marketing. I think the product makes everyone’s pores standout and doesn’t hide any imperfections. I havent seen anyone look good it in in-person.
Thank you! 💜
I have tried the WT foundation… And I love it! I look forward to trying the bombs as well… Thank you for your demonstration. I have dry mature skin and I think it’s going to work just fine with my skin tight.
You’re welcome 💜 thanks for sharing this!
I feel it's great for the minimalist and who doesn't mind all that glow. If you have to use JB with it to make it look good......I mean what's the point? I can just use the JB and maybe a little blush/bronzer and be good to go. I have seen their ad and those face models all have a good tan on their face before applying this......very misleading/marketing in my opinion. I am basically less is more but I don't want to walk out in the morning looking just glowing with no color. If I have to try so hard to make a product work for me.....I ask myself......is it worth it?? No! There is so much hype out there about certain products that have 5-star reviews.....I almost just avoid them now. Thank you for your honest thoughts, Britt!
You’re welcome! Thanks for your perspective. This one really had me all over the place. It’s a tough one to review honestly, and years later! Some love it and “get it” while others are a big “pass.” There are very few in-betweens I think lol 💜
Thanks for the thorough review. There must be something almost irresistible in the marketing to older women because I keep trying to convince myself to shell out the dough for this product despite all the reasons I know I wouldn't like it! I do need hydration and don't care about long wear but I don't have the patience to play games in the application.
Right? Something about it that draws me back in. Hahaha 💜
It’s not worth the money. I had such an awful experience with them. I feel like they lied and their customer service was horrible.
Thank You for Your honesty. I have never tried it yet but I would like to, even with all the cons I heard about. I am a curious cat I guess :)
You’re welcome! I get it- I was curious myself haha
I bought the dusty rose as the foundation and flushed as the blush. I actually love it. This may sound strange, but my eyes are bluer when i wear it. I have very abused skin mature skin . I am an outdoorsy person and never wore sunscreen or makeup. I have noticed an increase in positive attention since wearing it. After showering in the morning, i first apply tretinoin, and then i lightly tap on castor oil. Very very lightly. I let that soak as I dress. I then lightly apply the Dusty rose all over, then the flushed on my cheeks, a tiny bit on my forehead, nose, and chin . Then, a light application on either side of my neck . This application was shown for those similar products that were the first to come out that are in a tube. I dont remember that products name. I just , on your recommendation, tapped on the lightest touch of IT powder foundation. Just to slitly set it. I like the effect, BUT i also still enjoy the look and feel without added products. I do live above 7000 feet, where it is dry winter and summer. Love your review! Thank you.
This is great! Thanks for sharing this detail, I so appreciate it and I’m sure it’s helping others trying to make a decision 💜
New sub! Like your style 💄👌 I am 60-ish, lifetime very oily skin, now down to T-Zone oily. But my cheeks are dry now, with snakeskin crepey layer on top. Never had dry skin before, and my cheeks hurt with little prickles when I smile. I now know how uncomfortable dry skin must be. I love the Miracle Balm on my cheeks, powder highlighters now look reptilian on my cheeks, but this balm hydrates and melts the crepey. In summer humidity, my cheeks go back to oily, but in winter I am slathering on this balm.
Just bought the new shade Pinched Cheeks. I use Bronze to reduce my red capillaries and for warmer makeup looks. I have Dusty Rose, Sunkissed and Au Naturel. Even wear it at night in winter. I really think a person needs that dry crepey aging skin to appreciate what this does. No problemo for me over sunscreen, and on top of powder (if using) is best. I pat into the skin with 3 fingers, I go very light, can always add more, or tissue blot if you put on too much. It does soak in, if it doesn't soak, then your skin doesn't need it and you can be glad of it. ❤
This is such great info. Thanks for taking the time to share all the ways this product works for ya. I’m sure it’s helpful to others (and myself) 💜
Oh THANK YOU! Great information from the age appropriate user. And ya, dry skin feels never ending…thx so much for the color info. Have no idea where to start.
I love mine. I have 2- they last forever. I travel with a dimes worth of miami beach and flushed, side by side (because they're so thick!) In a teeny, nickel sized, container. It lasts for 2 weeks of travel! I don't mind the tacky feel. It moisturizes, illuminates and adds just a touch of color. And it takes 10 seconds to apply (fingertips and palms) . But, i do appreciate your review.
Thanks for sharing your point of view! 💜
OH thank you! I was on the verge of seeing if I wanted this. I'm the most sensitive of sensitive!
You’re welcome! Glad it helped 💜
I have Flushed and I like it a lot! It's still more subtle than a cream blush, but on my no-makeup days, it makes me look a little bit less of a slob :) I am interested in trying their Miami color (the peachy coral one)
Nice! Flushed seems like a winner for sure. Thanks for sharing 💗
I would highly recommend Axiology tinted dew multi sticks for balminess plus color. They were great for my dry skin this winter when I wanted some moisture and color to look slightly highlighted but not at all glittery. The color can build but you can also keep it pretty light, and it's packaged in a convenient paper tube! I've really been impressed with their products lately.
Genius! I can’t believe I forgot about the dew stick. Thanks for mentioning, I added it to the scorecard post on site! 💜
I'm really interested in the Burt's Bees miracle balm now.
I’ve been using it daily…just sayin!
I actually love Magic Hour as a highlighter. I get a bit on my fingertips, warm it up by rubbing my fingertips together, and lightly pat on my cheekbones. The glitter isn’t obvious when it’s warmed up like that and it’s super fast. And not sticky.
I can’t see putting this all over a face.
I have average, older skin but I don’t use this all over. Just cheekbones.
Love the feedback and how you like to apply it- thanks!
I got MB in Pinched Cheeks (lot more color payoff) but the texture is too much for me with other makeup. But I was surprised that I like it a lot on weekends by itself over SPF. I get a super small piece, warm it up on the back of my hand, and pat on my upper cheeks , using leftover on my lips. Less is very much more, so I think this pot will last me about 100 years
In general, I’m seeing that non-makeup people often love JR, esp. if they have older skin (I’m 57) and/or live in a dry climate (I’m in Colorado). Lot of people who enjoy makeup seem to hate it, particularly MB and WTF. (I love WTF)
Their return/exchange policy is painless - I ended up exchanging MB for their lip/cheek stick, which I’m waiting for now
I freaking LOVE this product- im shade beige in WTF and i use “bronze” all over my face with just face pencil (shade 8+9) and powder and my complexion is done and dusted 👏
Amazing- thanks for sharing the combo that works for you!
I bought the four-pack of minis at the holidays. (And they accidentally sent me three minis and one full-size.) I have mostly used them as a little highlighter or lip balm. There is one slightly more pigmented color (Flushed) that makes a nice no-makeup subtle lip and cheek color. Magic Hour is super sparkly, but it does look nice on my lips. I find that rubbing the balm between my fingers until it is very thin and soft helps. I have used Dusty Rose on my whole face, after sunscreen. I made sure to let the sunscreen set completely first. I wish the little pots were metal or glass, and I think they should sell a more moderate size, like the mini or slightly larger, and maybe sell the regular size as a jumbo one. Because the regular size is not great for carrying around with you. And the price of the large one discourages a lot of people from even trying it. Bobbi Brown hasn't asked me, LOL, but I'd love to see the mini size be available all the time, in a recyclable container. The problem is, if they do that, they will raise the price of the minis, which are already not exactly cheap. Oh! And I'd love it if I could use this around my eyes; that would add to the value greatly.
I’d LOVE a mini option….so with you there 💜 thanks for sharing!
Great deal that you got one full size!
Can these be purchased in any store
What product did you say you loved that’s on some scorecard? Minachia? Thanks!
I it definitely made for dryer, more mature skin and that is how it is marketed. I live in New Orleans where is is EXTREMELY humid over half the year. I wear this in the summer or when humidity is high. It doesn't cake up in the humidity and sweat off.
Thanks for the suggestion - its the tacky factor that gets me. But it may be just what I need under thin serum foundation I like
you're welcome!
I have very dry skin although not mature so I’m curious about jones road products, mainly miracle balm and what the foundation. I wish I could get samples to try.
I have the Miracle Balm in Flushed and Golden Hour. I’ve had them for more than a year and still don’t know how I feel. I like the Flushed way more and occasionally do use it as a light wash of blush, but it feels like a slog to use and makes me irrationally angry. My main issue is that there’s just too much product! If they could make it half as big, I would have a better attitude toward it and use it more. I know they occasionally come out with mini sizes but they are too small to be worth it. C’mon Jones Road, this Goldilocks needs a “just right.”
I've been using cream blush in the same areas on the face with great results & no tacky or balmy feeling.
glad it's working for you
What a great, thorough, helpful review. It’s good you mentioned the reactive ingredients and smell. Those are deal breakers for me. You were looking for tips, so I can say that on their UA-cam channel they say it goes over powder, not under.
Thanks! And thank you for the tip! Appreciate it 💜
Thank you so much for your honest review I was going to get me some but now no way
You’re welcome!
i have extremely dry skin with lots of redness i’d like to cover. after trying close to a hundred different formulas, i have yet to find a foundation that “sits” nicely on my skin due to the dryness. i’ve been considering trying this just to see if it helps improve the wearability of foundations for me. i’ll try the much less expensive burt’s bees balm first now. thanks!
The Burt's Bees is a lighter weight option FYI so it may not fit into what you're looking for? Just wanted to give a heads up there.
Thank you for this. I’ve been debating on JRB miracle balm or not. I lean toward drier skin but I’m currently in love with Merit products. I definitely won’t buy it like I was going to do. But I won’t lie I’m kind of drawn to JRB Miami Beach shade for a possible blush. But then if it’s not as pigmented, I’m still not sure.
you're welcome! 💜
Try Miami Beach and flushed. I am like you, I’ve tried other colors and was disappointed. Miami Beach is my run out the door-quick spot of color go to
Flushed sounds like a winner for tint! I keep hearing that in comments. Also, good to know about Miami Beach. Thanks for the tip! 💜
I ordered flushed and I don’t mind it adding a little colour back to my face and lips after reapplying sunscreen so I don’t look so spooky or flat. Or when I’m not wearing any other make up for a little colour. I’m a light olive so not looking spooky is a high priority haha
I would *love* a video about reapplying sunscreen throughout the day, if/when/how you also touch up your makeup? I’m trying to be more diligent with sunscreen but the multiple layers throughout the day feels so…bleh
Love that combo and that it’s not too heavy- interesting! Thanks for sharing. I’ve yet to find a way to reapply over a face of makeup so I tend to keep my face out of the sun. If I’m out all day I won’t wear much else except sunscreen so I can keep reapplying if I need to. But even then, I lean heavily on hats 🤷🏻♀️💜
“Flushed” works for me!
I have a few of these. I love them. I use them as all over glow, blush, bronzer & on my lips. They are NOT tacky if you use a small amount. ❤
Nice! Thanks for sharing 💜
I wish this was available in Australia; I would love to try it.
i think she developed this for older gals....i have dry skin now and may try this. i have been using castor oil at night with fantastic results so i may try one of these. i am a natural redhead w yellow undertone on my skin. i really enjoyed this how you made it work for you~ thanks
Thanks! Castor oil keeps popping up. I’ve only used it sparingly in the past, but interesting. Glad you found this helpful!
I’ve been concerned that that product with the oil base and required rubbing would disrupt mineral sunscreen film that I need on my skin. Do you know anything about that?
I don’t - I’d imagine a light layer wouldn’t cause too much disruption, but I’m not sure
Apply with warm fingers, like after washing your face. You’ll feel the balm melt while swirling in the container already. And you’re supposed to just tap on the face. Since the balm is melted you don’t need to rub
I enjoyed the video and your thoughts on the Miracle Balm. Though I must ask that if you have to work that hard to make a product behave is it worth the bother?
I have tried the Miracle Balm in the store. I didn’t like the texture and the sticky feeling it left after application. The marketing claims make it seem as the ONLY product needed for so many makeup needs. Also not all “older” women have dry skin, if I over hydrate my face I get breakouts. I have somewhat normal skin and I don’t want to look greasy and I don’t like a sticky surface for my hair to cling to. This product was a pass for me.
I tried all the different Jones Road products at the makeup counter and I honestly wasn’t that impressed. I love the idea of simplifying my makeup routine. But I don’t like the implication that hydration and skincare is key and THE panacea to many makeup and skin woes. I think it is very strong marketing toward mature women and their “dry skin” that is popularizing the Jones Road brand not always the quality of their products.
Oh I agree, i was asking myself the same. I feel the same about the Westman foundation stick when it comes to how it looks on my skin. If it’s that tricky it usually isn’t going to be a true fit for me, but I’ll always share the review with every application option I can think of lol.
Thank you for sharing!
How about for a fair redhead 81 yr old..dry skin and pink cheeks..
Been using Channel
Have you done the foundation? My mom wants it and I’m curious
Yep! The Jones WTF is on the channel and site www.thestyleshaker.com/product-reviews/jones-road-what-the-foundation-in-light?rq=What%20the
This is a great product for my 59 year old, sensitive, dry skin. Maybe not indicated for younger skin. There are many other products for you. 😊
happy to hear it's a fit 💜
My complexion is similar to yours...but I'm older (60s) and have super dry skin and live in COLORADO where it is high desert, so super dry...thinking I also wanted to try their foundation.???
Give this a look: bit.ly/3zbEuR4 (it's the full scorecard for that foundation) 💜
@@BrittWitkin Thanks
honestly, i think the best thing from jones road is the WTF (what the foundation). It's a great, lighter skin tint. I have dry skin and it works for me. I couldn't really care less about the miracle balms.. I have the nude one which works like a primer when i use it... otherwise i'd rather just use vaseline for extra moisture (at night)
Thanks for sharing. That foundation seems hit or miss for sure, but I’m glad it worked for you! 💜
I don’t wear makeup so the miracle balm is nice to just add as a highlight and moisturizer.
thanks for sharing 💜
I’m wondering how this does with fine lines and wrinkles. Every commercial I see is for older women. I am 52 so, yes, I’m older. I also have extremely dry skin . I have tried so many products for mature skin (made specifically for fine lines) and I have been disappointed with all of them so far. I’ve been wanting to try this so that’s how I found your channel 😉 Is this waterproof? Wondering how it would hold up in the Florida heat (sweating) and swimming pool.
the brand doesn't mention it being waterproof anywhere that I could see - I think if you use a very small amount, it could work. But I too am curious about how it will hold up in humidity when the heat hits over here. It wouldn't be my go-to because it is heavier, but some people swear by a small amount being just what they need on lighter makeup days.
What lipstick are you wearing. So pretty.
It really is pretty, I hope she lets us know!
Omg I NEVER usually remember, but I did post a video on Instagram with the products I used and the lip combo includes Typology + RMS lip serum (which honestly I don’t necessarily recommend as it fell apart on me) - shopmy.us/collections/455092
This is made for mature skin. I dont consider your skin mature.
My skin is mature. Very mature. Do you have any tips on how to put this on so that it doesn’t feel so heavy and sticky? I’m looking for all the help I can get
I’m glad reviewers are trying this stuff now. I bought it out of total curiosity, and because the white-haired older model looked SO great in her after shot. I’ve been using Bronze for two months, and I’ve decided I really wish I had my money back. I’ve tried using more, using less, using it alone, using it under light foundation, using it over light foundation. The smell is perfectly nasty, which is another disappointing thing about it. I found your review thinking, “Maybe I”m just using it wrong…?” Well, I’m giving up. I’m 69. I still have fairly glowy skin (It was oily much of my life). I was hoping for a healthy color sheerness to pair with a concealer here, but this stuff sinks into every line and pore. Maybe I’ll just use it as a leg moisturizer and call it a day. I won’t be buying anything Jones Road again.
Ok the leg moisturizer idea is kind of genius I can’t believe I hadn’t thought of that. Thanks. I hear you on “using is wrong” but it’s just not true. Works for some and not for others. It’s been a tricky journey. Side note I just tried the new “pinched cheeks” shade and it has better payoff, I just feel it’s a ton of product that I don’t necessarily think I’ll get though 🤷🏻♀️💜
I wasn't thrilled either... I just returned for Tawny just cheek color. Reading here now Im wondering if the difference is their brush... I think I'll go back and try that as well.
I was thinking about buying it, but never pulled the trigger, I think for me the main reason is that I don't think I would be able to use it all in a timely fashion.
Definitely won’t get through these quickly that’s for sure
Yes! They only put out minis occasionally and in limited colours. The comments on their ads and on their UA-cam videos are full of people begging for small sizes to try. They happily ignore them or make condescending “too bad, so sad” replies so that says a lot about the company.
I’ve looked at a few reviews and this stuff doesn’t seem to work….they all say it’s sticky and not much color…you can buy a bottle of castor oil and get about the same results
I just bought castor oil funnily enough haha not for this. Some LOVE it. I remain confused. Win some, lose some! 💜
Similar experience for me. I’m 53 with dryer skin. What I’ve found is there’s no real reason to get more than one color. I got the sample sizes with four colors. I have to put about four layers of the flushed color on before I see it and then it feels like a layer of gunk sitting on my skin. That’s the other thing, it just sits there. It feels just as gunky at the end of the day so I don’t think it’s moisturizing? So disappointed. I loved the idea and thought it would be an easy option. It is not.
I thought it was being advertised for older women???
All ages!
This seems like marketed, repackaged light rouge. Maybe mixed with a little chapstick. Castor and jojoba oils are good for lips and hair, and in serious moderation. I would try something like this if it weren’t so expensive and a risk of breakouts.
I think it’s targeted for women with mature, dry skin. Like over 60. Flushed is gorgeous. No glitter. I don’t find it difficult or fussy.
Nor does it look overly glowy on my mature skin .
I hear that a bit- but I also see marketing towards younger skin as well for a dewy glow. Ok that’s the third vote for Flushed! Good to know- thanks for sharing your experience with it 💜
I have this... I do not like the smell at all. It is sticky .... But I do like the glow
I have a question for you or anyone reading this who might know. I am trying to get back into makeup I have had a bunch of babies back to back and have been nursing straight for like 5 years now almost. But I have like really messed up skin. It's been getting better but I believe I damaged my moisture barrier and never realized it an my skin just got burned and burned so even though I should have very oily skin it barely produces moisture. Due to all this I am super red over my entire face and I have acne scars. Like old big ones pretty much every where. I have the hardest time with makeup. I have to put a lot of moisture on my face just to actually be able to put on make up and it all just comes off or settles very badly. I don't know it just looks terrible and I have tried a lot of stuff. When I try and bronze it just looks red. So I have been binge watching jones Road reviews to see if I can gleen if this would be good for my face. I actually do use castor oil on my face and in like 30 minutes it's completely absorbed into my face. What do you think?
Encourage you to see a dermatologist first, if you haven’t already. I doubt the miracle balm is the product that can restore your skin.
Nooooo…..I have rosacea and won’t buy Jones Road because of all the irritating ingredients this kind youtuber mentioned. You need to get into a regular skincare routine with very gentle fragrance free and irritant free products. Think Clinique or LaRoche Posay or Avene. Or Neutrogena or cerave. Don’t keep switching products.
@@missmayflower I have a regular skincare routine that is working really well I don't have overly sensitive skin it's just sorta always red all over bc I lived in the north west in dry cold climate and wasn't doing anything for my skin I don't know why guess I was just young. I didn't even know about the skin barrier then but I believe I damaged it and didn't even realize that was what the problem was for so long that I just burnt up the under layer of my skin. Anyways it has gotten much better over the years and castor oil at night before I go to bed has really been helping. I did go see a dermatologist not to long ago but she just said there was nothing I could do but get Lazor and Micro dermabrasion treatments. So she wasn't a big help lol. Anyway I use essential oils and they don't really bother me. I am more sensitive to artificial fragrance but I was more wondering about how the makeup would work with my skin. I can't get any other kind to work well. Thanks for your input ❤️
I agree with the other comments. Def seek out expert advice if possible and I always pair things back to basics. I mean basic, products I know won’t bug my skin if the barrier is compromised. Give it a rest and time. Sorry this is delayed but thought I’d add my two cents!
I had medic hour, was not aware of the sparkles when I purchased it. I cannot stress how much I hated this product.
glittery sparkles were definitely unexpected for me ✨ it’s polarizing for sure
I love the sparkles.
I thought this product was to provide shimmer and dew to mature skin. I'm positive it would've bothered me when I had younger, plumper skin.
I’ve seen this on younger and mature skin all over social, but seems like it’s marketed in a major way to those with mature skin. For sure. I didn’t think it was made only for one age group, but I could be mistaken.
Well.. you look very nice with all this on. Fresh and pretty.
Thanks 😊💜
I tried it. I could not tolerate the sticky feeling.
I hear ya, thanks for sharing! 💜
Yeah….i just dont get it… if they had smaller samples that could be returned I might try it. Every time you see a “trial size” it cannot be returned. I have super reactive skin and the tacky waves me off.
Yep- solo trials would be so great to have as an always-on option
imagining getting this goo under my nails.
😂 yuck! I agree! I keep my nails short but can't stand anything under them!
I have dry skin and bought the bronze color I like the color but not the stickiness and I hate the glitter or the shimmer it makes me look greasy, not a fan of miracle balm.
thanks for sharing your experience 💜
Great review- I think of this line as overpriced tinted Vaseline.
thanks! hahaha
45 and love this!!! It’s exactly what my dry crepe paper skin needs. You’re just too young to get it
I’m 2 years younger than you! Hahaha but glad you like it. Works for some, not for others 💜
I was out at “Gingery”
Hahaha understood 💜
bought some and to say I’m extremely disappointed and feel cheated and lied to abt this product is putting it lightly. It’s nothing they claim it to be.
The color doesn’t stay on but for a few minutes, there’s no “glow” I feel cheated and bamboozled. I was so excited to order it. The customer service never responded to my email, just asking a few more questions to make sure I was using it correctly. Such a disappointing experience.
I tried the product in a natural shade. It felt sticky and tacky on my skin and it smelled like old Crisco oil
Crisco is a new addition to what I’ve heard about the scent! lol. Appreciate you sharing your experience.
I see your skin getting red from wiping it a lot or maybe from the product? I could be wrong. I wouldn’t be putting a lot of product on your face if it’s sensitive. Just saying.
That’s the norm, plus it is recovering from a new skincare test 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ but thanks for the concern. I agree, I’d leave it alone. I did actually, but it usually gets pinky red when I wipe plus I had just done a mask. All good right now!
Argan oil breakes me out... too bad they don't have .5 oz.
I wish they did
I just bought Tawny. I was intrigued by the advertising. Tried it out today. We’ll see.
how'd it go? 💜
I just don’t get the point of Miracle Balm. I hate heavy balms and then with glitter with minimal payoff? Why?!
it always throws me for a loop 💜
Can’t get it to work. Actually hate it so far.
That’s a bummer
Need an elderly skin try
Miracle Balm by Jones Road destroyed my face for two weeks and I had to visit the dermatologist and allergist because of the castor and jojoba oils. Be warned- sensitive skin or not!!! Horrible experience
Oh no 😟 sorry to hear that
They need sets!! All the colors in minis. I would buy. But not a big honker or 2. Too much!!
Agree!
It looks greasy to me. I don’t want to go around with a greasy face. It just doesn’t work for me & Im 55. I also do not like glitter on my face.
it's definitely glowy - overall a polarizing product! If you couldn't tell I'm still attempting to figure it out ahahaha 💜
I'm not sure why anyone has to 'try' to make this work. Just because it's trendy. Sounds like it just doesn't work. Too many people complain about it. But for the trend/style, people are 'trying to make it work for them?' At the high price point???
I bought the dusty rose and I am not a fan. I have mature skin and I find that it really ACCENTUATES my lines. No thanks!
thanks for the feedback- appreciate it! 💜
You may be putting too much on?
Maybe. I guess I could give it another try but use less.
Why would you even use this if you're in your 30s or even 40s. Wait until you're in your mid 50s then talk about products that you now claim are "heavy" and "greasy". You will have a completely different opinion when you reach the age where other foundations that are supposed to make you glow don't do a damn thing for you. Since turning 53 about a year ago I started noticing that nothing I tried made my skin glow or look pretty and I'm a fitness person who eats a super clean diet of mostly organic fruits veggies proteins and moderate carbs. I've tried completely cutting caffeine, alcohol, and many other foods that make the skin look dull but nothing has worked. I've done diamond glow microdermabrasion, IPL, red light and tons of guasha massage which all helped to bring some of my glow back but this product is what finally made me look as youthful as I feel from my lifestyle. If you're under 50 you probably don't need this but once you hit that hardcore perimenopause/menopause stage it may be exactly what you need. WTH do any influencers in their 20s or 30s or even 40s even care about this brand? Oh right clicks and money. Also if you prefer chemical scents over natural scents that sounds like a personal issue. Personally I would rather smell like plants than cleaners.
I wouldn't buy it. Seems too fussy.
Great Review today. The Mango People highlighter in Rose Dew has a terrific color payoff! Love supporting that company and having no plastic.
Thanks!! Same same- less plastic is a must 💜
Just Brown trying to stay relevant now that she's older. Older myself, I just use clean products and take good care of my skin as well as eat right and get exercise. Don't need her shiny slime.
This product is for an older person that has very dry skin. I love it. You are to young for this product.
Glad you love it! Thanks for sharing. I believe this product is marketed (key word) to mature skin types, sure. On the product page there's nothing speaking to miracle balm being made for a specific age (for now- who knows maybe it will change, but I doubt it!). Mature skin types do seem to be the segment purchasing mind you so re-targeting makes sense, but I don't really know their numbers, just seeing this through my comments which are always helpful. That said, I've seen younger women loving it over on TikTok. Oh, and I'm in my 40s, I qualify for mature skin. 💜
I've never been tempted by the commercials because the models look so shiny. Way too expensive for what it is. Just a con product as far as I'm concerned.
Definitely a dewy factor for sure
This is for old er women
Are you over 50?
Explanation is very confusing
Tacky. Didnt like it.
Love the quick feedback- thanks 💜
Magic hour is meant to be a highlighter. That’s why it has mica (not glitter) in it! Of course you wouldn’t want to apply it as a blush or tint 🙄 Dusty Rose is meant to be an all over tint for fair to light skin tones. The brand doesn’t warn you away from using it this way. It’s recommended when you take the quiz! All JR balms are a wash of color that is buildable if you want more payoff. I don’t own Jones Road yet. I’m doing research and looking for people who know how to use it and give an honest review. You’re honest…a plus for you, but you seem too jaded against this brand from the start of your video. You don’t appear to know how to use the product so I’ll keep researching. No disrespect intended…I have seen other utubers go the opposite direction with way too much shine to love. Maybe I should just dive in and spend some money…and invest in a great finishing powder 😁 btw, oily gals should never use this. Am I psychic? Nah, just realistic.
This just seems like glorified Vaseline lol No thanks.
😂😂😂 exactly reminds me of using my lip gloss on my cheeks and eyelids basically the same thing 😂.
I get that hahaha
Sticky and tacky. No coverage.
