JONES ROAD FACE PENCIL | Dry Skin Review & Wear Test

[@helpfulnatural]

Interesting product. I could see this working well as an all over concealer under powder foundation because it's less likely to move around as much as a liquid concealer.

[@vanessadiaz4767]

I think it makes you look younger at the end of the day. I’ve been wondering about this product. Thank you for reviewing it!

[@bluecurlygirl]

Agreed

[@vassibieber4894]

This look is so cute - I love your braids. The stick is a great idea, but it seems horribly expensive considering how little product they give you.

[@sharifilsinger8765]

Not expensive at all

[@kfemme68]

I LOVE the "I still have this mirror" with that look! It's classic!

[@goow]

I finally got a new mirror that I'm trying but I haven't filmed with it yet!! 😂

[@reneklein6049]

Love the Gwen Stefani look!! Your eyelashes look so full and long!! The pencil seems like a nice, natural look. And you are right. Bobbi Brown is no longer associated with the company. Thanks, Shelly. ❤❤

[@leahmiranda8359]

Hi Shelly.....That lipstick is the perfect shade of red for you! I love it ❤ I think the Face Pencil is a great concept. I think I'm past the point of such minimal coverage, but it looks really pretty on you. Your skin looks fresh and beautiful.❤

[@gbtink]

My question is why didn’t they make that a stick (tube) base or foundation instead of a small pencil? Looks like that little pencil will go fast in a short amount of time. Looks interesting tho, and u look beautiful!

[@christinunya72]

That's a good point. I wonder how long that pencil would last compared to a stick foundation or regular foundation. That $26 price point might not be as good as you think then.

[@bluecurlygirl]

Yeah I was thinking that's very little product for the price. Ounce for ounce its not that good a price in my opinion.

[@DeepSeaBeauty2]

Your finished look today is gorgeous. Your techniques have really been wowing me.

[@goow]

Thanks, Elisa!!

[@katiehenry7]

I just love this look! Beautiful! Also the fluffy brows look amazing on you! So so good!

[@goow]

Thanks, Kat!!! I've been sort of remembering to use the Maybelline lash serum on my lashes/brows for the past month or so (I remember maybe once every 2-3 days lol). It helps!!

[@bibbylord6562]

I’m so early! YES!! Thanks for this review.

[@kathyknuteson2838]

I thought the color was perfect for you. I thought that combination of the pencil with charlotte tillsbury foundation looked especially good on you!

[@lorainemcgillivray77]

Hi Shelley it's a small amount of product for $25 to use all over the face. As a stick concealer then yes - the format is handy, but I'd want it to work at my eyes too. That's the lightest shade - the bobbi brown alabaster is a bit yellow on me, so I doubt this will work either. On you it looks great, but you don't have a lot to cover. I have rosacea and a fair bit of redness due to that, so i would need a tinted moisturiser first and apply this in spot areas for more coverage. I think for the money I would rather buy a stick foundation tbh - more product and used in a similar way. Just my opinion of course. I hadn't heard about this line/product before, so that's interesting. My favourite base from bobbi brown was the extra repair tinted balm - I used a few jars of that in my twenties and thirties lol, but I didn't have as much redness then. Best wishes.

[@staceyjarrell-sipe5096]

You look super cute in braids!

[@alexandrasaadi7149]

Thanks for the demo. I’ve been super interested in this line since it launched. I’d love to see a full face of Jones Road if you’re ever in the mood;)

[@melanierose6599]

I used a similar eye pencil from Too Faced many years ago to cover my dark circles. Might have to try this one.

[@Heather_isms]

@@goow sorry, I gigglesnorted when you thumped it. I'm getting ready to place another Yesstyle order, must say the I'm From Rice toner gives a lovely hydration and added glow to the skin. Too Cool Bamboo toner is good for no nonsense moisture toning. 😊

[@bluecurlygirl]

Your skin is absolutely radiant after doing your makeup. If that's down to the Charlotte Tilbury I think I'm gonna have to start saving to invest in some

[@goow]

The Hollywood Flawless Finish - I have 2 shades of it so I can wear it year-round! The way it works to me is.... think of a smoothing primer, something like the Benefit PoreFessional or a putty primer - the visual effect of that (what I think of as Photoshop for my face). The texture is nothing like that at all - it's more of a creamy texture - but the visual effect is that kind of smoothing of lines and pores. But it has a luminosity to it, so it also has a highlighting effect - but somehow it's not a highlighter and you can use it all over your face, not just the high points. I don't know what kind of magic makes all of that so, but I apply it over my whole face, either with fingertips or with a sponge if I want to concentrate it more like a highlight. It's great for no-makeup makeup but it also taps in over foundation just fine. It's a product that if I had to pick only 10 things to use for the rest of my life, it would be one of them.

[@bluecurlygirl]

@@goow wow. I think I must succumb so.

[@chandracox6814]

I really like this concept too. Interesting product. It seems to go on fairly well and does a decent job covering while looking completely natural! Me likey. 😋😋

I used to use a similar product in the mid 90s, possibly a Clinique pencil? I loved it because I was so rubbish at makeup then (and not much better now ☺). It was so easy to apply and looked so natural. Pretty sure it was then discontinued (like everything I love 🙄) so I was intrigued to see this. Thanks Shelly. 😊

[@Donnie_Thornberry]

Clinique Chubby Sticks?!

[@themerz6982]

Ooo, I'm into this! I get going w/ my Anastaisia pro pencils & end up doing a similar thing. I love those pencils. Odd how they just melt into the skin, "if" you pat & press. Going to try the add more moisture to places it sticks. Thanks! Heading over to your link, checking these out!

[@dodysdigits]

Thanks for reviewing this product. Had no idea it existed and now I may get it. I wonder how it would work by rubbing fingertips onto the pencil and then pressing or tapping into skin. My concern is applying over sunscreen because moisturizer over sunscreen will disturb or take away sunscreen coverage. I bet it would work great with those shiny cast sunscreens.

[@staciebellmore2156]

Looks great on you! 💕💜 I’m gonna pick one up and try it out. Thanks Shelly!!

[@MonikaBeautyandLifestyle]

Not sure if that would work on my 67 year old dry skin but it is intriguing. :)

[@Justquitthebs]

Another great review. Thank you. Georgeous look. Love the braids. One only wonders what happens with the applied sunscreen when rubbing. Especially these mineral sunscreens.

[@goow]

I wait at least 15-30 minutes after applying sunscreen to do any of this makeup/etc so my hope is that it has set in by then. (It's more like a few hours of waiting these days since I don't need to do my makeup before work at home, lol).

[@chabangful]

I got this but returned it. It didn't provide enough coverage and wasn't the right color for concealer. I think the Mercier new color corrector would work better....it's next on my list.

[@jennifermayberry6200]

At the beginning close up I actually thought in the camera (vs what you see in real life) the Face Base side looked less flaky with better coverage 🤷🏼‍♀️

Very cool product. LOL, my nose is the area where that I want fuller coverage. I blow my nose all the time because of allergies. A portable product to touch up my nose would be nice.

[@codivines1101]

What’s your eyebrow routine, they look great!

[@goow]

Hi Codi! I've spent about the past year using the Maybelline lash serum (on my brows as well as my lashes) - maybe twice a week because I forget the rest of the nights. Then when I apply my moisturizer at night, I take what's left on my fingers after applying and run it through my brows to kind of train them to go upwards and fluffy-like rather than laying down flat. Then I use either Got2B hair gel or Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze on them when I apply my makeup and brush them upwards! (It's also quite lucky that I survived the 90s without plucking them, so there's that).

[@KrystalHartley]

Shelly, have you considered backing off on your actives to prevent chronic flaking? My personal experience favors lower strength actives for daily use as the alternative approach is higher strength applied less regularly still sometimes causes issues. I don’t know if you’ve given your skin a deadline or anything or if the trade off is worth it to you given your current circumstances, but it is possible to reverse aging without chronic flaking. Maybe start with lower % tretinoin. Just throwin’ it out there in case it hadn’t occurred to you. (Of course, I use microcurrent and red light therapy in conjunction with skin care products, so that’s a variable to consider as well. Neither of those helps with desquamation, but they do boost collagen, elastin, hydration and cellular energy required for them to function like youthful cells. If you ever want to voice chat on discord about it, let me know.)

[@goow]

If I would stop getting lazy with moisture the flakes would be gone :-D My entire body flakes (though I do basically no skin care anywhere except my face... trying to get better at regularly moisturizing at least!) Sometimes it is me going too heavy on the acids in particular but right now I'm just in a lazy phase. (I didn't even wash my face before bed last night.... like, what?!??!?! Who am I????)

[@carolinek2446]

@@goow bad girl. 😆

[@valep24]

I really like the idea of this product, but it worries me to have to add an emollient moisturizer on top of my sunscreen. Could it mess up the film formation of the sunscreen?

[@goow]

The fact that even dermatologists don't agree on whether sunscreen goes before or after moisturizer, on top of the variations in advice on whether it's chemical (some say it should go under moisturizer because it needs to absorb into the skin) or mineral/physical (some say it should go after moisturizer).... I just make sure to wait at least 15-30 minutes (usually more) after applying sunscreen to go in with anything else (primer, makeup, additional moisturizer, etc). I sunburn just thinking about going outside and have never had a patch of sunburn from messing up sunscreen with whatever I applied in my makeup process, and I very often go in with another moisturizer as primer (whether it's something like the Face Base, or the Good Molecules priming moisturizer, or Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream, etc - I use a bunch of them). That's been true my whole makeup-wearing life, not just with this particular foundation that wants moisturizer with it. So I'm sure it could mess with something, but clicking through 5 different search results gives 5 different opinions, all from dermatologists, so..... my derm knows what products I use when, and hasn't thrown any warnings, so that's good enough for me! lol I wish I had a better answer!

No, Bobbi Brown lost the legal use of her name. That's why she started Jones Road. I learned about it watching Emily Baker. She's a lawyer that breaks down legal cases that are publicized. There's a woman who's fighting right now to get her name for wedding dress designs but apparently she signed a contract that may keep that from happening. It's what happened with Bobbi Brown. Btw, Jones Road has some really pretty sparkly eyeshadows in a cream formula that I've seen others use. They're on my wishlist. Just an fyi. I love that red lipstick on you!

I like the idea of this and the shade was perfect for you. As for it being a tad over drugstore pricing, you couldn't be more wrong. $25 for 1/10th of an ounce? That's $250 an ounce. Ain't no drugstore foundation that high... I can see me going through that product in no time trying to get better coverage on some of my sunspots. It may make a freaking awesome concealer but trying to convince me that I can like my skin and still see my skin? A tinted moisturizer will do just fine, thank you very much. Glad you tried it, glad I watched this but super happy that I won't be buying this in my future.

[@goow]

Ounce per ounce, yes - you're right. I should have clarified that I was directing the ballpark pricing at the other part of my commenters that don't care about the measurement equivalencies and just shop at a particular price point. (It's not how I shop, but there are far more people that shop that way than I ever expected!) I did not intend to imply that it's affordable per ounce. It's definitely a prestige price point in that regard.
