What if the thing you feel like you’ve lost with age isn’t gone at all, but simply waiting for an invitation to return?
In this latest installment of our Pro-Age Revival Series, we explore a theme that often feels elusive as we grow older: sparkle. Not just the twinkle of makeup on skin, but the glimmer of spirit, the lightness of being, and the inner flirtation that makes you feel alive.
What Sparkle Really Means
Sparkle, Pilar reminds us, is not about extravagance or artificial shine. It’s about light from within—a playful, magnetic glow that radiates self-assurance and joy. It's the energetic “look at me” quality that doesn't beg for attention, but welcomes it. Sparkle means you’ve risen above the grind and remembered what it means to play.
You know it when you see it in someone else: the cheeky confidence, the vitality in their eyes, the effortless glow. And the truth is, you were born with it too.
A Subtle Shimmer That Says "I'm Here"
In the video, Pilar shares her favorite way to bring sparkle into everyday life: Boomstick Glimmer. Inspired by the delicate sheen on a sleeping baby’s eyelids (a detail Cindy Joseph herself once noted), Glimmer adds a barely-there champagne shimmer to the skin—elegant, radiant, and real.
Whether dabbed on your cheekbones, brow bone, the bridge of your nose, or even your collarbones, this multitasking product captures the light without overpowering your natural beauty. It’s sparkle without the spectacle, ideal for the woman who knows less really is more.
Pilar combines it with Boomstick Rose Nude and a touch of Golden Peach for a customizable glow that brings her face—and spirit—alive.
Sparkle as a State of Mind
But makeup is just one part of the story. As Pilar eloquently puts it, sparkle is an attitude. It's the courage to be seen, the willingness to say:
In a world that often dims women’s light as they age, reclaiming your sparkle becomes a small act of joyful rebellion.
It means:
-
Flirting with yourself in the mirror.
-
Dancing in the living room just because.
-
Laughing without apology.
-
Wearing something that makes you feel noticed.

The "Ape in the Arcade" & Why We Dim
Referencing a powerful metaphor from her book The Healthy Deviant, Pilar compares modern life to putting a jungle ape into a blaring arcade. Constant noise, stress, distraction—it all disconnects us from our essence. No wonder our sparkle dims.
The antidote? Presence. Play. Attention turned inward.
When we shift our focus back to our own joy, pleasure, and vibrancy, the shimmer comes naturally—no highlighter required.
