6 Tips To Switch Your Makeup from Winter to Spring As You Age

Spring is the season of growth, renewal and return.

As we warm and stretch towards the sun, you may wish to adjust your makeup routine.

The brighter light of spring means we can go easier on almost every aspect of our makeup routine and focus on playing up radiant, shimmering skin and eyes instead.

If you’re ready for spring, we have a few tips to help you transition your look.

You can use this makeup approach for brunch, an afternoon wedding or any other springtime occasion.

  • 1.Go light on bronzer and blush.

    Bright spring days are a great time to use a lighter hand with blush.

    A sun-kissed look is still lovely and flattering, but try a dab of the softer Boomstick Rose Nude™ on the apples of your cheeks.

    This soft, rosy shade is beautiful for spring. Made with sheer pigments, Boomstick Rose Nude easily blends to match warm and cool skin tones.

    Simply swipe this Boomstick directly onto your skin. Then use your fingertips to blend until you see the rosy glow you love.

  • 2. Play up your radiant skin.

    Next, add a radiant glow with Boomstick Glimmer®.

    This pearlescent highlighter gives your skin a subtle glow. Glide it onto your browbones, the tops of your cheekbones and down the sides of your neck. Then, blend.

    Wearing a dress or blouse with a lower neckline? You can also apply this creamy cosmetic to your shoulders and décolletage for extra radiance.

  • 3. Bright, shimmering eyes.

    Create a bright, shimmery eye look perfect for spring by applying Boomstick Glimmer to the center of your lower lid.

    Then use your fingertip to dab Boomstick Glimmer onto the inside corner of your eyes. This makes the eyes look wide open and draws light to the area.

  • 4. Fun and sophistication in one.

    Soft, supple lips are never out of season.

    Create this look by applying a layer of Boomstick Rose Nude to your lips. (This is the same soft, rosy shade that’s already giving your cheeks a subtle, sun-kissed glow.)

    Then add a layer of hydrating Boom Gloss™ for fun, sophisticated shine that also locks in color and moisture.

  • 5. Add natural-looking definition to brows.

    Next, add volume, color, definition and shape to your eyebrows with moisturizing Boom Brow™.

    Boom Brow is our first cosmetic that’s made exclusively for aging brows.

    This lightweight shaping mousse clings to your existing brow hairs—to gently fill in thinning areas, tame unruly strays and hold your brows in place.

    Boom Brow comes in two colors so you can easily choose the color that looks natural with your brows. (We suggest Taupe if you have silver, red or blonde brows, while Medium Brown is intended for darker brown or black brows.)

    Once you choose your shade, it takes less than a minute to apply Boom Brow with a couple of swipes of our ergonomic wand.

    Just brush Boom Brow onto your existing brows in an upward and outward direction for beautiful, natural-looking color, volume and definition that lasts all day.

  • 6. Layer on a gentle mascara.

    Last, add a layer or two of a gentle, moisturizing mascara, like Boom Bright™.

    Made for sensitive eyes, Boom Bright lengthens and separates your lashes without harmful chemicals or harsh ingredients.

    With a buildable, non-flaking formula, Boom Bright lasts all day but is also easy to remove with warm water or a moisturizer—so you won’t risk your delicate lashes taking it off.

    The soft black color is perfect for spring and complements silver hair beautifully.

    With these six tips, your spring makeup will shimmer and shine—and highlight your own unique beauty at every age.

That includes our soft, rosy Boomstick Rose Nude for your blush and lipstick… Boom Gloss for a sophisticated shine on your lips… Boomstick Glimmer for bright, shimmering eyes and radiant skin… Boom Brow™ for natural-looking, beautiful brows… and Boom Bright for longer, softer lashes this spring.

Is there a woman who hasn’t dabbed a little lipstick on her cheeks for a quick touch-up?

The whole idea behind BOOM! is less is more. Women shouldn’t have to use dozens of different makeup products—especially in their 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond.

You should be able to simplify your makeup routine, paring down to just a few items that bring out your best. That's why our late founder, Cindy Joseph, originally created Boomstick Trio®. These three compact, creamy cosmetic sticks were designed to simplify, replacing many of those products in your makeup bag.

BOOM! is the sound of a revolution in cosmetics. While other skincare and makeup companies carry “anti-aging” products, BOOM! is the only company that is “PRO-AGE.” And we are not the only ones who think age is beautiful.

Our late founder, Cindy Joseph, spent 27 years as a makeup artist. With her unique insight into bringing out women's beauty (at EVERY age), she created our original Boom cosmetics and skincare line. "As women age, looking fresh rather than made up is the key," Cindy said.

“The biggest makeup mistake that middle-aged women make is putting on too much under-eye concealer,” Cindy said. “At home, it might look okay, but in the daylight, it just looks like a bunch of gunk under your eyes. The older you get, the less makeup you should wear. It’s not a blank canvas anymore.

 Cindy Joseph

Long before Cindy founded BOOM!, she had two very successful careers—first as a makeup artist, and then as a silver-haired supermodel.

Cindy began her career as a makeup artist in late-1970s San Francisco. Working for Macy's, Esprit and others, she pioneered the "natural look" with her models—which later became the inspiration for Boom cosmetics.

Soon after Cindy let her silver hair grow in, she was spotted on a New York sidewalk by fashion photographer Steven Meisel's scout. At 49, she began her second career as a silver-haired supermodel. During the next two decades, she was featured in ads for Dolce & Gabbana, DKNY, Olay, Nivea, L.L. Bean, Target and more.

Having spent nearly three decades as a makeup artist and another two as a supermodel, Cindy decided—in her early 60s—to go into the cosmetics business herself. She wanted to design a line of cosmetics that was all about revealing, embracing and celebrating women's natural beauty at every age. We are proud to say that she succeeded...and BOOM! was born. Today, Boomstick Trio is still our customer favorite, creating the dewy natural look ideal for all skin types and tones at all ages.

Cindy's legacy lives on in all of us here at BOOM!, as well as hundreds of thousands of women worldwide who resonate with her pro-age philosophy.

Today, Cindy’s legacy lives on in the hundreds of thousands of women who use Boom cosmetics and skincare.

What women are saying about us...

“By far this is the best ‘make-up’ for women over 40. I feel the need to brighten up just a little. Time is showing on my face, which is beautiful, but a splash of Boom is the perfect accompaniment of a wonderful life.” — Susan
