Did you know fall has overtaken summer as the most popular wedding season?
Unlike summer, which can often be overbearingly hot, humid and prone to rain, the autumn months usually offer more moderate temperatures, less chance for storms and beautiful fall color backdrops for photos.
If you have fall wedding plans, you might be thinking about how you’ll handle the details, including weather, travel—and your makeup.
Here are a few tips to make the most of every special fall event you attend.
1. Big events call for beautiful eyes.
Your eyes are one of your brightest features and a wedding is a wonderful time to highlight them. Start by defining your brows to frame your face. We suggest Boom Brow™, our lightweight brow mousse.
Designed for ease of use, Boom Brow adds subtle definition, volume, color enhancement and all-day hold in just a few swipes of the ergonomic wand.
Brush on a layer of Boom Brow to define your brows and frame your face.
Next, apply a shimmering eyeshadow to draw and reflect light for a bright, open-eyed look. Use your finger to dab Boomstick Glimmer® in the center of your eyelid just above your lash line and on the inside corners of your eyes.
Finally, highlight your eyes with a mascara designed for your lashes like Boom Bright™.
Our gentle, water-based formula lengthens, separates and defines the thinner, more delicate lashes we tend to develop with age.
Boom Bright also has a clump-free, flake-resistant formula so you can layer until your lashes are as bold and beautiful as you prefer.
All of this can be done in just a few moments for a day or evening full of beauty.
2. Consider easy-to-touch-up makeup.
Long fall events make makeup touch-ups a necessity, no matter your style or look.
We suggest choosing makeup that’s easy to apply on your own for this reason.
The Boomstick Trio was made for this kind of convenience and ease.
With sheer pigments and creamy, easy-to-blend formulas, you can even apply Boomstick Trio® without a mirror.
First, glide on Boomstick Glo® for dewy moisture and gently massage it into your skin.
Next, dab Boomstick Color® on your cheeks and forehead and blend with your fingertips for a sun-kissed glow—without the sun damage. Then glide it on your lips.
Finally, dab Boomstick Glimmer on top of your cheekbones, under your browbones and on your cupid’s bow for a hint of shimmering radiance.
Take your entire look up a notch with a layer of moisturizing Boom Gloss™, the ideal finishing touch for any elegant occasion.
3. Lighting is everything.
Lighting can dramatically affect your look. Since some events begin in the day and last into the evening, while others begin outside and move inside—or vice versa—a little planning ahead can help you look your best throughout the event.
The Boomstick Trio, our original pro-age cosmetics, is ideal for this kind of transition. These three buildable Boomsticks include an all-natural everywhere moisturizer, a multitasking blush, lipstick, bronzer and contour and a creamy highlighter.
For bright, daytime events that last into the evening, apply lighter blush, bronzer and lipstick.
Then in the evening, go bolder with your makeup. Apply an extra layer of blush and lipstick and be sure to dab a shimmering gloss on your lips to catch the light.
Add one or two layers of Boom Bright mascara for daytime and another for evening and your entire event is handled, no matter how long it lasts or where it heads.
4. KISS: Keep It Singularly Simple.
If you’re traveling to the event, especially by air, you likely want to keep baggage to a minimum. You may even plan to carry on all of your luggage. Boomsticks make traveling easy.
But just because Boomsticks are easy doesn’t mean they’re mundane.
Our range of colors makes it easy to create a fresh, new look while still keeping cosmetics to a minimum for your trip.
Want to try on a softer look? Swap out Boomstick Color for Boomstick Rose Nude™.
This soft, rosy Boomstick sold out in just 16 hours when it first debuted and continues to be a customer favorite.
Or choose one of our newest Boomsticks designed to flatter specific skin tones.
Boomstick Golden Peach™ is a sweet peachy shade with a subtly shimmering finish designed for warmer skin tones.
Boomstick Peony Pink™ is a bright pink shade for cooler skin tones.
All three are made with sheer pigments for buildable color, have clean-beauty formulas, contain moisturizing ingredients that leave your skin dewy and soft and serve as both lipstick and blush.
They can also come right on the plane with you to keep your skin soft, refreshed and glowing and fit in any clutch or handbag for quick and easy touch ups while you’re at your event. Just pop into the ladies’ room and you’ll be refreshed and ready in moments!
We hope these tips will help you feel as beautiful as you’ll look at your fall weddings and events.
