JONES ROAD WTF WHAT THE FOUNDATION | Dry Skin Review & Wear Test

[@stewartjchurch2327]

You convinced me…. This is my first time watching you…. You’re great! You’re like a best friend…. Thanks for being here!

[@goow]

Welcome!!

[@melissanelson1975]

I think this foundation is meant for mature skin. The younger crowd doesn’t seem to like it, but every review done by someone in the 40 to 50 age group loves it. Well a couple with oily skin didn’t so much, but that understandable. You look great and you’re glowing.

[@goow]

I think you are right!

[@MCricketB]

She absolutely is... as a 60 yr old geek with dry skin, Jones Road is almost addictive, tho it doesn't give the coverage I would prefer unless I use a foundation powder. Love your channel!@@goow

[@AC-gp7kf]

This is the best review of make up I’ve seen. Thank you. Usually people stay in their glam lights and don’t go outside.

[@mariachristopherson460]

Your description was perfect. “ It feels how dewy looks. “

[@dawnjohnson8739]

I got the WTF in Light. I’m almost 70, have very dry skin, lines. This is the ONLY foundation I found that makes me look better than no makeup at all. It melts into your skin. Very natural looking. You don’t need a lot. It works great under eyes. Most importantly, it stays on all day without moving or changing at all. Makes me look better, but without a makeup look, which I don’t like. I also tried Magic Balm in an natural and dusty rose. Total disaster. The worst part is that it dries out after about 4 hours leaving this stale color. Ugh. I even tried it over a moisturizer; same thing. The glitter accentuates pores. I tried and tried and could not make this work and mostly because it dries out. Looks great on the lips, though.

[@goow]

I just got my hands on the Miracle Balm - need to film a video on it! =D

[@kristenlandon796]

If you want to use powder to lightly set your base without it looking cakey later, use a damp (like squeezed out with a towel “damp”) beauty sponge with a bit of powder and then press it in and that will make the powder melt with the foundation better; while still leaving the radiance behind. 👌💖 Thanks for the review Shelley! Love from Oregon! 🥰🌲

[@oceanbird.]

Great advice! I love to do that to set my under eye concealer :)

[@goow]

I will try that, Kristen!! =D Thank you!!

I just purchased this. Since it’s winter, I went with the porcelain, I love how it looks on my face. Haven’t been this happy with a tinted product in a long long time.

[@christynm.8933]

Jones Road WTF is suppost to be used more like a tinted moisturizer for that "NO FOUNDATION" look...not so much a full coverage wear all day foundation which is where A LOT of people are getting confused about this product.

Thank you!!

[@Lb-ib9wt]

I have strawberry blonde hair with fair to light complexion, freckles and some redness around cheeks and t-zone. My skin is extremely dry and eczema prone. I used the fair shade and it worked great! It was like using a tinted moisturizer. This will definitely work better in the winter months. If it ends up too shiny, just add some pressing powder. I also incorporate Laura Geller foundation on top. But I really like this product. Highly recommend for mature, dry skin or eczema prone skin. 👍🏼

[@donohoe0]

I wanted to like this foundation so much, but didn’t like how it felt on my skin. Maybe it is because it is so humid where I live. It probably works better in a drier climate or maybe a winter time foundation!

You look stunning! Amazing job on your makeup! ❤

[@lindamarshall8614]

It really is tinted skin care for us mature and dry skin people. I thought you would like it, it looks great on you. I think she should say somewhere to stir before using, because of the skin care ingredients in it. Thanks for trying it.

[@goow]

It's so wild - when I first opened it for this video it was fully incorporated. But every time I've opened the jar since (4 or 5 wears now) it separates and I have to stir it back up. This foundation may need a video update! I still enjoy it but I've been wearing it set with powder to alleviate some of the tackiness and the stirring thing is something to note!

[@journeytobetterjes_erazo87]

Your skin looks great!

[@mgromz]

Shelly, this looks great on you! I wish it had a bit more coverage so I could purchase it, but my face gets red easily, so I need medium coverage.

[@goow]

Yeah I don't think this could build up quite that far. It doesn't dry down enough to build up more.

I have one of the face pencils in a shade that is a little too light for me but the product itself is great! I haven't tried the balm yet but I keep seeing ads on TikTok from Bobbi and one of these nights I will probably cave. But I've heard strongly mixed reviews on it as Balletified said!

[@joylewullis9538]

Hi Shelly! This foundation keeps coming up in my commercial feeds in KZbin and I really was never going to try it, but with you and someone else I saw using it it sounds tempting. I know you’re feeling this well over a year ago I’m very late for this train, but was curious if you still like this and use it? Should I waste my money even trying this? I’m very dry skinned 63 years old and a big fan of your channel. Thanks!

[@goow]

Hi Joy!! Of all of the reviews I've seen, the WTF foundation seems a bit polarizing. Some people find that it feels too sticky, but if you use a little bit less product and set with a tiny bit of powder, it's lovely (on me at least!) I really love it when I'm feeling super dry or when I have flaking skin going on because it does a great job hiding all that. Though it also seems like the people that love it are also people with maturing skin and issues with dry skin. It does have a bit of a scent to it but it does dissipate quickly - noticeable at first though.

[@SB7698]

I have loved every Jones Road product I have purchased. The Miracle Balms are my daily product. I want to pick up WT Foundation but I’ve been super in love with the Wet n wild tinted moisturizer that I couldn’t rationalize the expense. Hmmmm. Maybe time to treat myself.

[@goow]

Definitely try making it!! I have a blast playing around with skin care concoctions.

[@JRed-go8wr]

Thanks! Hi Shelley! Question… I’ve been using the Ulta Complexion Crush and loving it. My only complaint is I feel it’s got that slight tacky feel like you describe here and also mentioned in that video. How would you say this one compares? Tackier or dryer? Also, did you find any issues with transfer on this one? I despise powder, but I do sometimes have to use a bit with the Ulta on extremely humid days here in the southeast. Thanks so much. I appreciate these videos and greatly rely on your reviews. I don’t buy any foundation till I’ve seen a review from you 😊

[@goow]

I would say this one (Jones Road) is a bit tackier. I'm on my 4th or 5th time wearing it now (wore it to work today actually!) and I've taken to setting it with powder (I'm testing the Elf Camo powder with it and it works well, and it was even better with the Flower Light Illusion powder and my ride or die Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish). It's just a little too tacky on its own without powder, unless you use far less product in which case there's very little coverage. So I've been using it sort of as a foundation base layer for powder. I do think it's hydrating enough that I'll still be able to powder it in the winter - but the lack of dry-down is the one down side.

[@hollyerickson6364]

I have super dry skin and have been wondering about this one. Hoping to find something between IT CC Cream and Glossier Skin Tint. Thanks for this review! I'll give it a try. BTW, Love Love Love your hair color and style. So pretty!

[@oceanbird.]

Hiiiiii Charlie!!! 🐈 It looks so pretty on you! Does it remind you at all of the Tarte maracuja hydrating tint? The way it looks on you reminds me of how the Tarte looks on me, but maybe less coverage. And also the Tarte sets down pretty well

[@goow]

They do look similar but the Jones Road doesn't set down quite as well. I've taken to setting it with powder (and it has been a couple years since I've set anything with powder!) That's the one down side with this one.

[@Elle0704]

Thanks for such a great review, as always. It looked amazing. I’m on project “use up my stash”, but when I finish a “foundation”, which would you buy: Jones Road, Purito/Mischa- since they seem similar in finish/undertone/dry down?

[@goow]

I'd probably go Purito or Missha mainly because they look quite similar on the skin and they're less expensive. I'd also say both the Purito and Missha dry down a touch more than the Jones Road. I'm on my 4th or 5th wear of the Jones Road today and I've decided it is most wearable when set with powder - and I can more easily tolerate not setting the other 2. (I prefer not to set with powder if I don't have to).

[@weir_family]

I keep those tops to prevent drying the foundation out, hahaha. I thought that was what they were for, I didn’t know they were for travel!

[@deniselanglois6193]

Where do u buy that lipstick it looks great - love FOUNDATION

[@carolinelennon5995]

This looks lovely on you! As does the lipstick! How would you say the hydration/dewiness/stickiness compares to RMS’s foundation in a pot? I’ve been so curious about them both!

[@goow]

They're both a bit tacky (I've worn the Jones road 4 or 5 times now - wearing it today actually! and I've taken to setting it with powder to alleviate the tackiness - though it has been cooperative with all 3 powders I've tried it with: Elf Camo, Flower Light Illusion, and Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish). I like the skin care ingredients in the Jones Road and would says it's probably a smidge more hydrating (though they are both quite hydrating). I don't think you'd need both and couldn't really go wrong either way, but I'll give the slight edge to Jones Road.

[@carolinelennon5995]

Thank you so much! You’ve convinced me! 😍

[@JPMJPM]

I am definitely going to get this one. Perfect for me!

[@lorainemcgillivray77]

Hi Shelley my extremely dry/rosacea and eczema prone skin is thinking oooh the glow, the hydration and then we hear ginger oil and 12 shades. I would need to get a sample and that doesn't seem possible as it's only available online in the UK. I used to wear the bobbi brown extra repair tinted balm for many many years (pre rosacea and enough aging to where I wanted more than sheer coverage lol) and it sat beautifully on my really dry skin. I think this might be somewhat similar, but the bobbi brown version was available in alabaster or extra light (they changed the shade name on and off). Porcelain in Bobbi Brown was always too dark and too yellow toned for my skin and the pale yellow powder always gave me a slightly odd look to the skin (I'm very cool toned and super pale). I really have my doubts as to whether the shade would work for me and it's not an inexpensive product. This looks really good on you though and the right shade makes any foundation look miles better tbh. I am hopeful that some of the balm or cream foundations that seem to be being released recently will work for me though as I love that texture for my really dry skin. Best wishes.

[@goow]

I'm hoping she's able to expand the shade range. I always wonder if the indie brands have to start with fewer shades for budget/production reasons.

[@JPMJPM]

Could you try the Jones Road miracle balms? I’m not sure how to use them. Without foundation?

[@goow]

I keep seeing Bobbi show the miracle balms on TikTok and I've almost caved more than once! I'm sure it will happen now that I can say that you want to see them so I have to buy one! lol

[@JPMJPM]

@@goow 😂😂😂

[@nancyhowell7735]

That foundation does look good on you. You may not like those annoying inner lids, but I think they are there to keep the product from drying out. I know I have removed those lids and, if something I’m not using every day, I go back to the product and a discolored hardened skin has formed as the top layer and the product has thickened.

[@cherisenunez2530]

[@goow]

[@sfkat]

Great review....I think I want it. A possible opinion please. I wear the Missha Perfect Cover in shade #13. It''s the perfect undertone for my skin. I've never had something match so well. I immediately thought I'd war the "fair" shade in the Jones Road, but I'm wondering if the "porcelain" would be better. I'd hate for it to be too light...than again, hate too dark. Dang, wish There was somewhere I could see the shades in person This is a crazy question to ask...but based on what you wear in Missha, do you think I'd be a Porcelain or a Fair. Feel free to answer that you have no idea. One reviewer said it was so dewy she had to put powder to tone it down, did you find that when you applied it? She also said the colors run dark and she was not sure if the porcelain was too dark But it worked. Maybe I've answered my own question!..Thanks much..

[@ambergerhelper7852]

I autoassume “porcelain” is yellow and “fair” is pink. I’m also a fellow Missha #13. I have too many too dark foundations already, so these things are an easy pass for me. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@@ambergerhelper7852 I've been told I have yellow undertones...Is the Missha #13 a yellow undertone?

[@ambergerhelper7852]

@@sfkat No. The Missha is like a gray/ olive.

[@goow]

I'm thinking the Jones Road is closer to Missha 21 and therefore a bit darker than 13. I can go between 13 and 21 in the Missha depending on the time of year and the Jones Road fair is definitely darker than 13.

Thankfully it takes well to setting - I've had good luck with the Elf Camo powder, the Flower Light Illusion powder, and my beloved Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish. So I'm pretty confident it will work with most powders.

[@Comrade_mommy]

@@goow what got me interested was hearing how carefully thought out the undertones are. I find fair shades frustrating often bc they’re sometimes way to pink, but not in a good way. Apparently all the shades are more neutral leaning bc after years of working as a makeup artist the founder realized most ppl preferred less cool and less warm then what they industry thinks. Also the design is interesting. Rectangular pans that fit in a zip case. I want to get the 3 pan case with foundation, contour and blush, I’m just waiting for the blush I want to come back. Also love that there’s no fragrance and everything is $15. She also sells shade adjusters which is perfect for me.

Hey Shelley, I fit the category of dry and mature skin, but I truly hate this stuff. I bought it but use almost anything else. How do you get rid of all the excess oil in the tub? My new YSL foundation is 100% superior to this. Do you suggest going back to setting with powder?

[@goow]

I stir mine up really good every time I open it. The strange thing was that I was opening it for the first time to film this review and it hadn't separated, but every time I've opened it since, it is separated. I have better luck with it when I use a very small amount and don't try to go for coverage. Setting with powder works too but I usually tend to avoid setting if at all possible, so I haven't been wearing it that way.

Hi - did you find it 'gritty'? I was given this as a gift and I wonder if they perhaps purchased from unauthorized dealer?

Wow nope mine is entirely smooth. Sometimes I need to stir it up because the oil separates out but it's entirely smooth.

[@SB7698]

How does it compare to the L’Oréal 4-in-1 balm? I’m currently using the L’Oréal but it has an orange undertone and I’m pinky. I’m about to rewatch your review if L’Oréal but curious how you feel about the 2 side by side.

[@goow]

The L'Oreal clings a bit more to dry skin and texture on me where the Jones Road does a much better job hydrating and hiding my dry skin - so that would be my primary reason to lean toward the Jones Road. However, the Jones Road seems to have a lot more oil to its formula (so much that sometimes it separates out and I have to stir the whole jar to get it all incorporated again) - so that can be a down side especially if you happen to be combo or oily at all. The Jones Road also moves around and stays a little tacky if I don't set it with powder, where I don't have to worry about that with the L'Oreal. On the whole I like the Jones Road better but not without caveats.

[@plainegrace5712]

Great review, as always. Can you buy this anywhere besides their site? You can't opt out of cookies at all there. Zeva is always my favorite cameo, in case there is ever a poll. (-: What was the undertone again?

[@goow]

I think it's only available straight through the Jones Road site. I haven't seen it elsewhere (I'd love if Beautylish carried it!) Some people say it's a gray undertone and as strange as that sounds, I just know I love it on me! lol. It's the same undertone that the now-discontinued CYO LifeProof 101 had, and the Missha Perfect Cover in 21 has.

And this might not be a question you will answer, but can you tell us the story of the tattoo on your arm? It's so lovely (and maybe you did talk about it, but I could have missed it). I watched the video twice, and now I am going to check out where I can find this here in Calgary, lol.

[@goow]

Thanks, Deb! I should tell the tattoo story in a get-ready-with-me or something! This tattoo started out as an inspiration/goal tattoo for me. I love outer space and Jupiter (also the name of my Jeep), and I wanted the position of Jupiter in the sky in September 2025, which would be the soonest I can early-retire myself from teaching in hopes of going full time as an entrepreneur. So that puts Jupiter in the sky with Gemini and Orion, the two constellations in the tattoo. So as I was talking with my artist in Galway (Tadgh Kelly at AWOL Tattoos - he's absolutely brilliant), he said we need something in the foreground to anchor the piece. At first I was thinking a water scene with a Galway Hooker boat, and as we talked about boats (Tadgh is an avid fisherman) we somehow got on the topic of my dad, who was also a fisherman and had a boat, and was responsible for getting me interested in the night sky. Orion was the first constellation that my dad ever pointed out to me. So Tadgh was like, it's not a coincidence that your dad keeps coming up in this conversation. So I texted my mom to snap me a picture of the photo we keep on our fridge of my dad in his fishing boat (he died of acute lymphoblastic leukemia caused by benzene poisoning in 2000 when he was 46 and I was in my 20s).... and it was a perfect grounding to the scene. So it's my dad in his fishing boat in front of my goal sky. I suppose not ironically, my dad is also part of the spark for my entrepreneurial spirit. He also wanted to be an entrepreneur. His post-cancer dream was to own a small camping resort on Kentucky Lake and work as a fish tour guide. He didn't live long enough to make that dream happen. But I am going after mine while I can!

@@goow thank you so much for telling me that!!! I am so sorry your dad's life was cut short like that. I lost my mom to cancer when I 38 so I was lucky to have her a bit longer...but no matter when you lose a parent, you miss them in your life. I am glad you inherited your father's entrepreneurial spirit!

I agree about the gold / warm thing, not for me.. never looks right, I’m back to pinks too !!

[@ninagamble9150]

Great review - did you have any breakouts?

[@goow]

I don't break out from this but it's pretty rare that I get breakouts at all so I'm not a good one to measure that by.

[@angelaoccidental1949]

Interesting I may try someday

[@c.b.darling1744]

looks amazing... thanks to this review I'm going to buy some. for sunspots get obagi 15% or 20% vitamin c... it will lighten them after just 2 or 3 times using it and will make your skin look even, bright, dewy and amazing. just a friendly tip in case you see this. :)

[@ratbeach]

Have you tried a setting powder with a stabilized cornstarch base rather than a talc based one? Something like bareMinerals' Mineral Veil or Erth Minerals' Moth Veil disappears into pores and doesn't cake, no matter how often you touch up.

[@goow]

I haven't but I will now! Thank you!

[@thirdsister107]

Welll…then again you DO have 4 cats ! Looks beautiful❤

[@michellemerrill9180]

Thank you for this review! I have the miracle balm, and I really want to like these products but the beauty balm is sticky ALL day long!

[@mariestopa]

I hate it

[@goow]

I've worn this foundation a few times now (today even!) and I've taken to setting it with powder. It takes down a bit of that tackiness. I haven't tried the balm yet. I'd been holding off because I haven't heard much good about it.

[@mariestopa]

@@goow I have the balm and it’s so tacky. I am glad I only got a mini. I tried it different ways. I had to watch my grandson and I only put a little on and it rubbed off on him. Lol. It feels greasy to me. Like Vaseline with color is best way to describe it

[@michellemerrill9180]

@@goow thank for your follow up. I did end of buying it and I’m now day 4 in wearing and I really do like it! It’s quite a bit different from the miracle balm! Thanks again, I really enjoy your videos!

[@greenbeauties]

Are you reviewing the Hauslabs foundation when it launches?

[@goow]

Yep very likely!!

[@mistytells]

😆 It feels the way it looks. It tastes how it sounds? It smells how it feels? Killed me! 😅

[@PookieK]

Love you Shelly - thanks for the review but this one is probably not for me. I am loving your hair girl!!

[@goow]

Thank you!!! I was obsessed with growing it long for like a decade and when it finally got there, now I'm like, get it off me!!! lol

[@erinbisson918]

Wish they had sample sizes of this one. I really want to try it, but am concerned by the tackyness.

[@goow]

Hi Erin! I'm on my 4th or 5th time wearing it (today to work even!) and I've concluded that I prefer to set it with powder. That definitely minimizes the tacky feeling and so far it has cooperated well with the 3 powders I've tried - Elf Camo, Flower Light Illusion, and Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish. On its own it just doesn't set down enough for my liking. It is less tacky if you just use a tiny bit of product, but I want some coverage and that pushes it into tacky territory.

[@erinbisson918]

Ugh. Was hoping it would set down. I am not a big powder fan. I have yet to find one that doesn't emphasize my fine lines and wrinkles, especially around the eyes.

[@veronika__asmr_]

I like it ☺️ pretty pretty pretty 😍

[@Thelordsrain]

I just went to order it but it’s not available in Australia, bummer

[@goow]

Dang! As far as I know they only carry it through their own web site :(

[@karinasankarsingh5707]

Colourpops liquid foundation is also very hydrating and lovely for mature skin. And it’s less than $20 soooooo. You know?

[@Kindlyone777]

Is it similar to the old Bobbi Brown tinted moisture balm?

[@goow]

I never tried that one but it's funny you mention it because her new brand Jones Road just put out a balm stick and I wonder if it's similar to what she had in her Bobbi Brown line!

[@traceymurphy4804]

Is it mask proof? I have to wear one everyday and have issues with foundation

[@goow]

Definitely not on this one. I've worn it a few more times (today even!) and I've started setting it with powder to make it a little less tacky. It transfers a bit.

[@traceymurphy4804]

@@goow thanks!

[@kankan572]

Have you tried the sheglam (SHEIN) foundations?

[@goow]

Ooooh no and now I must look them up! (I love finding foundations I've never tried!) Thank you!
