Pros & cons

How do you use Jones Road Miracle Balm?
The most important step is to break the seal.
(Side note: itsverysatisfying).
Generally speaking, Au Natural, Flushed, and Magic Hour work on all skin tones, explains Brown.
And I recommend the others with more specificity.
But thats just a recommendation; there are no rules.
Below, contributor Emily Popp wears Flushed to give her cheeks a pop of color.
Writer Kayla Hui tested Magic Hour which goes on transparent and makes skin look naturally dewy.
This is Miracle Balm in Dusty Rose as modeled by writer Gina Vaynshteyn.
Theres a slight tint to it (anda lotof shimmer!
), so you might want to be careful not to touch your lighter linens.
Writer Francesca Krempa loves using the Miracle Balm in Sunkissed to fake being, well, sun-kissed.
Its like a sunburn (the healthier kind) in a jar.
Miracle Balm in Au Naturel
A clear balm with gold flecks.
If you want the most natural, least pigmented shadethis is for you.
Its perfect if you dont want any color, but want something iridescent that adds a dewiness.
Miracle Balm in Magic Hour
A light-reflecting bronze balm with silver shimmer.
We think this shade is the most versatile.
Its excellent if you just want to wake up your skin.
Miracle Balm in Flushed
A cool pink balm with a subtle sheen.
For fans of pink, rosy cheeks, Flushed is for you.
This is like a subtle version of the Flushed shade.
Its a sheer, dusty pink and works well if you have fair skin.
Miracle Balm in Golden Hour
A warm, sheer balm with a gold shimmer.
This shade gives your skin warmth, glow, and dimension.
Its great if you want to look a bit more tan and sun-kissed.
A deep, buildable reddish-bronze tint, it’s especially great for medium to dark skin tones.
It gives a lovely golden glow that adds a sun-kissed warmth to your skin.
It gives a gorgeous brownish red glow.
Its best for light to medium tan skin tones and looks awesome as a highlighter.
It’s buildable enough to work on all skin tones.
As the name suggests, it’s a warm, pink-brown color with a slight touch of shimmer.
FAQs
Is Jones Road Miracle Balm expensive?
$40 may sound pricey, but for a product thats so multi-use its a bang for your buck.
Plus the size isverygenerous.
Are there any downsides?
Youll likely find it a bit too tacky, and youll want something that reduces sheen.
We appreciate thatBobbi Brown herself saysits not a product for everyone.
So many brands claim to have products that work on all skin types, when its just not true.
And that claim can waste peoples money and time.
This one happens to be best suited for dry or normal/combo skin, but not oily.
Bottom line: Is it a miracle?
Well, not in the biblical sense.
And not in the 34th Street sense.
