The product lasted much longer on my lips, and though they didn’t feel very hydrated, the color looked nice and I had a monochrome look I was comfortable with.įor my next application, I decided to try a different approach and use a fluffy eyeshadow brush to put the product on my eyes, and again, I had the same results. This wasn’t too surprising-creamier textures and body heat don’t always play well together. It went on smoothly and felt comfortable initially, but after about two hours, my eyelids felt a little sticky and I could see that the product settled into my creases. The first couple of times I tried it on my eyes and lips, I used my ring finger to apply it. However, this product wasn’t as great on my other features. I think the brand knocked this product out of the park and created a fantastic cream blush.

BOOM COSMETICS SKIN
The Boomstick Color doesn’t have an overly dewy or shimmery finish, and the satin texture gave my skin just enough shine to make my cheeks glow instead of simply looking like I had blush on. I had a natural, healthy-looking flush to my cheeks, like I just worked out or went for a walk in the cold. The thin, smooth texture made it easy to apply, and the cream sunk into my skin instead of just sitting on top. I don’t always like the way certain cream formulas sit on my cheeks because they can accentuate the textured areas of my face a bit too much, but the Boomstick Color's shade and texture was a good fit for me, and it felt weightless on my skin.Įven though I had to switch up the way I applied the Boomstick Color, using a blush brush didn’t compromise the look of the product on my skin at all. While I wouldn't say the product worked equally well on each area of my face (I’ll get to that in a moment), the result was great for some of the promised uses.
BOOM COSMETICS HOW TO
How to Apply: Directly onto skin or with a blush brushĪfter a week of wearing Boom by Cindy Joseph's Boomstick Color, I liked it much more than I thought I would overall. For about a week, I incorporated the product into my routine by gently dabbing it onto my cheeks with my blush brush and using my fingers to apply it to my lips and eyelids, seeing how it wore and felt as the hours passed.

Given that the Boomstick Color is a multi-use cream stick, I was interested to see how it would look on my oily eyelids and dry lips in addition to my cheeks. To care for my lips, I wear the Rosebud Perfume Company's Rosebud Salve during the day and slather on the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask before bed. Lately, I’ve been using Armani Beauty's Luminous Silk Glow Fusion Powder to bring a little color back to my cheeks.
BOOM COSMETICS MAC
Right now, I use the MAC Cosmetics Studio Fix 24-Hour Smoothwear Concealer and press the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder on top of it with a sponge.

I don’t wear much makeup these days, but when I do, I wear concealer on my dark spots, a thin powder to keep everything in place, and a powder blush or bronzer on my cheeks.
