Go Glam in Minutes With These 4 Tips

We love a quick and casual everyday look.

But when you’re going out on a date or headed to a wedding, party or another special occasion, sometimes you want to step it up.

The right eye makeup touches can quickly take your look from everyday beauty to night-out glamorous. With Boom cosmetics, it takes only minutes to achieve a stepped-up look suitable for any occasion.

The four tips below will show you how.

1. Brighten and prep the under-eye area

The skin around your eyes is thinner and more delicate, which makes hydration and light reflection especially important—particularly before applying makeup.

Start with Boom Awaken™ Brightening Under Eye Cream. This lightweight yet nourishing formula helps visibly reduce the appearance of dark circles and puffiness while hydrating the under-eye area.

Boom Awaken also contains soft, iridescent mica, which reflects light to instantly brighten the eyes—so you look more awake and refreshed before any makeup goes on.

Gently tap a small amount under the eyes using your ring finger and allow it to absorb.

2. Hydrate eyelids for smooth makeup application

Before applying eye makeup, lightly moisturize the eyelids to help cream products blend beautifully and prevent creasing.

We recommend Boom Gold™, our luxurious facial oil made with skin-loving, all-natural ingredients. Just one small drop, tapped gently onto the eyelids, is enough to soften the skin without feeling greasy.

This step creates the perfect base for Boomsticks and helps makeup glide on effortlessly.

3. Shape and define brows

After 50, hormonal changes can cause your eyebrows to lighten and thin, especially at the outer edges. This can sometimes change the look of your entire face.

To define your brows without looking overdone, try Boom Brow™, our lightweight shaping mousse. Simply brush in an upward and outward direction for subtly enhanced brows that look and feel naturally beauty.

Some brow products might take a lot of time and practice to get right, but Boom Brow adds subtle definition, volume, shape and hold with a few simple swipes of the wand.

Or, use the Iconic Waterproof Brow Pencil to add definition with short, hair-like strokes where needed. The waterproof formula keeps brows looking polished all day and night.

4. Finish with lashes.

Complete your look with mascara to define and highlight your eyes. Focus on lifting and separating the lashes for a timeless, elegant finish that pulls the whole look together.
