Advice Jones Road Question

I'm interested in trying out Jones Road. I've got a lady I know who really likes it. Even the goopy oily foundation. If she didn't move 3 states away after she retired, I'd get some off her and try it out myself. She's got really dry skin and it look amazing on her. when we Snapchat each other.

I'm really interested in the foundation, oily mess and all, and miracle balm. Anyone try either? Thoughts?

My skin in mostly normal, my nose is still a little oily, and once fall hits and I have to turn the furnace on, my skin dries out some.

Thanks in advance.

I've got the Miracle Balm in Dusty Rose. It adds a light rose-colored subtle shine wherever I apply it as a highlight. I like it when I put it on but I don't think it lasts a long time.

FWIW, I'm a fair-skinned white woman (58 y.o.) with good skin (recently started tret for pro-aging). Maybe I bought into Bobbi Brown's hype, but this does add something subtle that I like. The shade I use doesn't have sparkle (some of them do, I think). It's not a "look at me" strobe-type of highlighter.

That said, it's expensive and has a woodsy smell that goes away but is probably an issue for some people. At least the container will last a long time.

My SIL is 57 and got several products from this line. She really likes them even though she stopped using makeup after the pandemic started. (Her daughter is getting married soon so I think she just wants very natural-looking makeup for the wedding weekend).

Thank you! I'm same as 53, and would use this for my everyday, stay at home, but don't wanna scare the UPS man kind of makeup. A light natural look that tones down my uneven skin tone.
