How To Use Two of Your Most Loved Shades Together

Loved by our community, Boomstick Rose Nude™ and Boomstick Color® are made to be mixed, matched, and layered, giving that soft, seamless look in under 60 seconds. Here are four pro makeup artist–approved techniques designed especially with mature skin in mind.

Four Pro Makeup Artist-Approved Techniques

1. Layer It: (Cheeks or Lips)

What it does: Creates a custom shade and helps color stay put through the day.

How to do it

• Start with Boomstick Rose Nude as your soft, neutral base.

• Tap Boomstick Color on top where you want more richness.

• Press with your fingertips so the creamy texture melts into skin for a natural, seamless finish.

Tip: For fuller-looking lips, keep Boomstick Color toward the center, then blur outward with Boomstick Rose Nude for a soft dimension.

2. Custom-Blend Blush (A Shade Made For You)

What it does: Creates a tone that looks like it was mixed to match your complexion.

How to do it

• Swipe a touch of Boomstick Rose Nude and Boomstick Color onto the back of your hand.

• Blend with your fingertip until you find the shade that looks and feels just right.

• Tap onto the apples of your cheeks, blending up toward your temples for a soft, flattering look.

  
  

Tip: Build in thin layers. Cream formulas move with your skin, never sitting in fine lines the way powders can, making them especially flattering on mature skin.

3. Monochromatic Match: Elevated & Modern

What it does: Keeps cheeks and lips in the same family for an effortless, pulled-together look.

How to do it

• Adjust the ratio: more Boomstick Color for warmth, more Boomstick Rose Nude for softness.

• Apply the same blend to lips and cheeks for balance.

Tip: If you wear glasses, sweep blush slightly higher on your cheekbones. This visually lifts the face and ensures your color stays visible behind frames.

4. Soft-Focused Gradient Lip (Subtle Fullness)

What it does: Gives the illusion of naturally fuller lips with a blurred, soft-focus finish.

How to do it

• Apply Boomstick Color over your lips as a base.

• Press Boomstick Rose Nude into the center of your lip.

• Blend with your fingertips (or press lips together) until the transition looks seamless.

Tip: Prep with a touch of Boomsilk™ if your lips are dry, so the creamy texture glides on smoothly.

Extra Artist Notes

• If the color feels bold, soften by layering Boomstick Rose Nude over the top.

• For staying power on lips: press, blot, and add one more light layer.

These pro techniques highlight why creamy, blendable formulas are more than just a trend. They’re a long-term essential. Creams melt effortlessly into skin for a smooth finish, while supporting what women care about most: hydration, barrier strength, and ease of use on mature skin.
