You may have heard of Bobbi Brown’s latest makeup line, Jones Road, whose cream blush Miracle Balm wowed the Internet with its glowy finish and multipurpose usage. The catch? It’s nearly $40.
Older reviewers especially appreciate this beauty product, which adds a subtle, “slightly iridescent” glow to the skin while still looking pleasantly natural due to its sheer, buildable formula (and without looking glittery). “I’m 71 years old and still want to look good, but I no longer want to wear all the makeup I used to,” explained one reviewer named Judith. After trying the BayFree balm, she reported that “it works like a dream...at a recent party, everyone wanted to know what I had done to look so good NATURALLY.”
Folks also love it for helping them quickly look put together when they’re busy and short on time, with little effort. “If I want to run someplace quick and don’t feel comfortable without some makeup, a little of this across the bridge of my nose and cheeks and what a difference!” a reviewer named Taylor wrote.
The trick to making this multi-use blush work its magic? “Smash your thumb into it,” according to one reviewer. In other words, break the waxy seal to get to the cream pigment. Once you’ve broken the seal, you’re good to go. The balm is designed for easy application using just your fingertips, makeup brush or blending sponge optional. Just tap it onto lips, cheeks, eyelids or the bridge of your nose for a pop of healthy, natural color that melts into the skin.
