What the gurus are saying

The gurus who weighed in found this one splits clearly. One expert praised the gorgeous, luminous finish and noted the formula stays stable in its packaging without turning oily over time. However, another found it genuinely difficult to apply without gripping to skin texture, leaving an uneven finish that didn't flatter maturer skin despite being marketed for it. Those considering it may want to test application methods carefully first, and the large glass packaging means it's not convenient for travel without decanting into smaller bottles.

"The Jones Road What The Foundation is one you had to tiptoe around when it comes to application method. I was trying to tap with fingers very delicately, then I was using brushes, and I was using all this other stuff. The finish, in general, really gripped to the texture on my skin. Considering it was made for a maturer skin with perhaps a bit more skin texture, it just didn't sit or grip well. The finish was so not glowy, but this oily natural that I looked terrible. I looked awful with this foundation. It's another one of those foundations that I can see working for a particular group of people, but another one where I also think, why should I have to work this hard to try and get a foundation to work for me? I kind of just want what I pay for."

"WTF earns its name. Look at that gorgeous, gorgeous finish. The packaging isn't going to get all manky because it's not all oily, so that solves that problem. I did have to decant that into little small travel things so that when I was traveling I didn't have to take glass. I wouldn't travel with this thing, it's far too big, but it would make it a lot easier for me to decant now."
