BOOM! by Cindy Joseph Boomstick Glimmer - Natural Face Highlighter Stick & Illuminator for Face & Body - Multi-Use Vegan Makeup Stick for Older Women & Mature Skin

I bought my Boom Beauty sticks about 2 months ago, and I love them! I will be throwing out all of my old "makeup", except for my Boots No7 waterproof mascara and brow gel.This product is NOT makeup. Every Boom Stick is made from wonderfully rich feeling moisturizers. I saw some reviews complaining that the moisture stick was hard and waxy with no real color to it. Well, this product is not supposed to cover up flaws, it enhances your own beauty and puts highlights in places that trick the eye into not noticing things like dark circles and crows feet. I have been using base makeup and concealer for years. In the last 7 to 5 years, from my late 50's into my 60's, concealer and foundation, regardless of what I tried, or how much I spent, it just laid on top off my skin and ended up creasing under my eyes, and around my nose. The worse thing about it was I looked like I had makeup on and it failed to do its job, just flaky and yucky looking. 😞 I do not have that problem with my Boom Sticks. My skin loves the moisture, and I never have any creases or flaky skin foundation around my nose and eyes.There is a bit of a learning curve to applying the moisture stick. I use slight pressure when I apply it with upward motions, and keep track of where I have applied or not applied it. Because it has no pigment, just glowing moisture you can't really see on your skin unless the light is just right. You don't want to push too hard, nor apply too much around your hairline. I have layered shoulder length straight hair, and when I applied too much my fly away hairs kind of stuck to it. You don't want to apply the sticks too quickly because the warmth of your skin actually helps with the application.I purchased the Blush Stick in Rose Nude, Highlighter Stick & Moisture Stick Trio. I use the moisture all over my face, then apply the Rose Nude on my cheek bones, about 3 strokes, and then on the fold of my eyelids down to the eye, one stroke. I sometimes dot a little of the Rose Nude on the straight of my nose, bottom of my chin and on my cupid's bow. I use my highlighter stick on the top of my eyelids up to my brows, then across the top of my cheek bones right into the Rose Nude "blush", then a small bit down the straight of my nose, and on my cupid's bow. Less is more with the highlighter, otherwise it is too shiny for my liking. I then use my fingers to lightly blend in the color and highlighter on my eyelids, cheek bones, nose, cupid's bow and chin. I bought a Berry Boom Stick separately in case the Rose Nude was too light to use for blush, but the Nude Rose works perfectly for blush, and I use the Berry on my lips. The result is a dewy glowing complexion. I tried the Boom waterproof mascara, but was very disappointed with it. It did not stand up to the moisture the sticks leave on your face, and smeared. I returned it and I am using my No7 waterproof mascara which does not smear with my Boom Sticks.

This is a great product and perfect for anyone looking to simplify their routine. It goes on smoothly, and it is the perfect color for eyes, lips, and cheeks. It keeps my daily routine simple and natural. I sometimes use the frosted stick along with it for special occasions.

This is more sheer than I was expecting, but I like it. The red is a nice color. It looks so bold but goes on sheer, so it’s vey forgiving when one is trying to blend it on the cheeks. I like using red as a blush instead of pink. It looks more natural on my 60+ year old skin and livens me up! It’s pretty on lips too. I find there is a little bit of bleeding into the lips lines, but again the sheerness helps from looking too Baby Jane! This was a fun splurge and will last a long time.

They do feel moist on your cheek compared to a powder or dry stick. Some peeps don't like that feel. I like it. The price per size & performance seems comparable to others in the same league. Cheaper than Bobby Brown & better quality than Elf or Julip. The colors give a nice blended look. Give them a moment to settle in for the final look. Realize the Berry is the most impact color. Others are more subtle. So decide how casual you wanna be.

Goes on very smoothly..colors were, as shown and looks very natural

It’s a little more expensive than drugstore brands but lasts a LONG time. The last time I ran out, I bought a cheaper liquid blush, and I hated it. Gave it away and re-ordered the boom. The berry color is perfect for my coloring and it’s so easy to apply.

This is a great product. I have used it for years!! It blends well and is long lasting.

I liked this product better in the past when it was creamer, and smoother to apply.also, tube is smaller now.
