Jones Road Miracle Balm- anyone tried it?

I’m 52 , looking for something I can use all over my face to make me look awake and fresh on Teams Calls . I WFH , so just do a basic , face brows and Vaseline on lips for work.
I’ve come across this, so any opinions would be great. And shade? I’m very fair, sallowish with dark hair and brows. Its pointing me to a rosy shade but I think that au naturel might be more suitable for all over use?
Would really appreciate opinions before I part with £36.00, doesn’t look like its widely available in stores for me to ask for a sample.

Ok so been trying the non-cpoloured one, Au Naturel. At firt I thought, ok, it's hot outside Ill look like a sweaty mess. I also applied too much and it just looked super greasy and unpleasant. BUT... I wiped a tiny bit off and the skin looks fantastic. I also love the way it feels for hours and hours into the evening. I do apply it all over the face- I know some of the shades are strictly bronzers/blushers. Next time I may go for the one with a slight shade, I am really enjoying wearing it.

I’ll second that. Bought 2 shades of the Revolution dupe, both lovely for cheeks & lips. Wouldn’t use all over face though.

What's it called, please?

@Tulipsareredvioletsarebue I've tried the foundation (saw it in TKMaxx for £14 so thought it was worth a shot) and it's excellent - light but very good coverage. I don't wear it as much as the miracle balm which I use almost every day, but I probably will once the summer has disappeared

I like it, but it took a while to learn how to use it. I should also say that I am 60 and I think it's really good for older drier skins; it would have been too sticky when I was younger.

How I use it: I use Pinched Cheeks as a blusher, also little near hairline, and also as eyeshadow. I then add mascara and lip oil and good to go. (The MC can also be used as a liptint, but I like a stronger lip colour.)

I also have the very natural colour one, it's not got enough colour for me but I do use it as a balm and as a highlighter. Bobbin Brown is adamant that she doesn't believe in longlasting formulations so I do add more MB throughout the day. My skin likes it.

I do think the different colours have very different uses - some are highlighters, others blusher etc. I've never tried rubbing it all over my face, though!

I've been sucked into the jones Road hype. I've tried several shades of Miracle balm and they're awful. The bronzer has hardly any pigment and comes in a tiny, very expensive bottle. The only product I've liked has been the lip and cheek stick. But generally as a make up brand I don't rate it at all.

Awful. Waste of money
