BOOM FOR BOOMERS
Cindy Joseph is the rare makeup artist turned model, a transition which happened when Joseph was 49. After decades in the beauty business, she created Boom, the first pro-age line of products for skin. Touted by users as a must-have for women over 40 — or anyone else seeking a natural look — Boom products include facial moisturizers, masks, color sticks and a sensual lubricant — all of which are paraben and phthalate free and include ingredients such as honey, propolis, extra virgin olive oil and more. The Boomstick Trio ($76) features three multi-tasking sticks that promise to give a dewy, healthy finish to all skin tones. The trio includes a sheer moisturizer, a color stick that can be used as lipstick, blush and shadow and a glimmer stick for shimmer on eyes, lips, cheeks or anywhere you want an extra glow.
