A Pro-Age Eye Technique Guide Developed with Professional Makeup Artists

Boomsticks are designed to blend effortlessly with your fingertips—and that will always be the simplest, most intuitive way to use them. It’s fast, natural, and beautifully aligned with Boom’s belief that beauty should feel easy and joyful.

That said, over the years we’ve heard from women who enjoy working with a brush—especially around the eyes—and who asked for a few additional tools to support certain techniques or finishes. For those who prefer using a makeup tool, we created the Eye Contour Blending Brush in collaboration with professional pro-age makeup artists.

It’s not a requirement—just an optional, gentle tool designed to offer a few extra options for soft definition, controlled shimmer, and seamless blending, without ever complicating your routine. Free with your order, when you purchase any eye product: Boomstick Bronze, Boomstick Glimmer, Awaken, Boom Brow, Pure Precision Eyeliner, Holiday Boom Bag, or our Eye-conic Boom Bag.

Below, we’re sharing some of our favorite pro-age makeup artist tips for using Boomstick Glimmer, Boomstick Bronze, and Pure Precision Eyeliner with this eye brush—always honoring Boom’s signature ease, flexibility, and natural finish.

With Boomstick Bronze

For a soft, lifted eye definition

If you like a bit more control around the eye area:
Tap Bronze onto the outer corner of the lid.
Use the brush to gently sweep upward and slightly outward.
This gives a soft, natural lift without harsh lines.

For subtle crease shaping (even on relaxed lids)

Instead of drawing a strong crease:
Use the brush to diffuse Bronze just above where your natural crease falls.
This adds dimension without settling into folds.

With Boomstick Bronze

For a soft, lifted eye definition

If you like a bit more control around the eye area:
Tap Bronze onto the outer corner of the lid.
Use the brush to gently sweep upward and slightly outward.
This gives a soft, natural lift without harsh lines.

For subtle crease shaping (even on relaxed lids)

Instead of drawing a strong crease:
Use the brush to diffuse Bronze just above where your natural crease falls.
This adds dimension without settling into folds.

With Boomstick Glimmer

For a diffused, elegant glow

Glimmer blends beautifully with fingers, but a brush can create a softer halo effect:

Tap Glimmer onto the lid or brow bone.
Use the brush to soften the edges, keeping the glow controlled and smooth.

For brightness without shimmer settling

Mature lids often prefer strategic placement.

Use the brush to apply Glimmer to:

The center of the lid
The inner corner
The brow bone

This keeps the radiance where you want it, never frosty or overdone.

With Pure Precision Eyeliner

To soften a liner for a more forgiving finish

If a crisp line feels too strong:

Apply your eyeliner.
Immediately use the brush to smudge and soften the edge.
This creates a naturally lifted, lived-in look.

For a gentle “micro-wing”

Rather than drawing a dramatic wing:

Make a tiny flick at the outer corner.
Use the brush to tap and lift the color upward.
A subtle, elegant lift—no precision required.

Pro Tips Just for Mature Eyes

Let the brush glide — don’t tug

The vegan bristles were chosen for softness on delicate lids. A light touch is always enough.

Layer sheer, blend soft

Boomsticks already blend beautifully; the brush simply helps sheer out color for those who prefer an airy finish around the eyes.

Keep one brush clean for a final “blur”

A clean brush softly swept over everything works like a natural filter — merging Bronze, Glimmer, and liner into one seamless wash. (Another tip, you can use Boom Clean to help clean your brush. Just let it dry completely before next use!)
