4 Tips for Naturally Beautiful Brows After 50 for Holidays
HOW TO BEST ACCENTUATE YOUR BROWS EVERY DECADE OF YOUR LIFE
Your eyebrows are more important than they may seem at first glance.
Besides having a few practical purposes, eyebrows frame your eyes—often your most noticeable feature—and the rest of your face. Your eyebrows also help convey your thoughts and emotions to others.
Some scientists even believe eyebrows are more important than the eyes in recognizing other people.
We’re often asked for advice on how best to accentuate our eyebrows as we age.
As you age, hormone shifts can cause brows to thin, especially at the outer edges. Your eyebrow color and texture may change as well.
As a result, the way you define your brows will likely change.
In the following guide, we offer four tips for beautifully natural-looking brows in every decade of your life.
-
1. Start with skincare.
Keep dry skin at bay by regularly exfoliating your skin, including the skin under your eyebrows, with a gentle exfoliant like Boom Scrub™.
Boom Scrub removes dry, dead skin cells and cleans out pores to reveal your fresher, softer skin.
Afterward, hydrate with an all-natural moisturizer that won’t leave your skin greasy. We suggest Boomstick Glo®, which leaves your skin smooth and supple.

2. Pencils, markers, gels or powders?
There are so many brow products out there—how do you decide which one is right for you?
Brow pencils and markers can require a lot of time and skill to get right.
That’s why we suggest Boom Brow™, our lightweight shaping mousse.
Boom Brow clings to your existing brows to add subtle definition, color and volume and can help hold the shape of your brows for a naturally beautiful look.
Designed for ease of use, Boom Brow enhances your brows with just a few sweeps of the ergonomic wand.
To use Boom Brow, simply remove the applicator from the tube and comb through your brows in an upward and outward direction, using short strokes. Allow it to dry. Then, for more definition or color, add a second coat.
The moisturizing formula holds your brows in place for all-day comfort.

3. Let your brows guide you.
There are so many brow products out there—how do you decide which one is right for you?
When selecting a brow product, it’s best to choose a shade that’s close to the natural shade of your brows.
Too dark and your brows may look harsh. Too light and your brows won’t do their job of framing your face.
That’s why we created Boom Brow in two simple shades: taupe for light to medium brows and medium brown for medium to dark brows.
These two versatile shades add subtle color enhancement for natural-looking brows.
An extra bonus? Both shades beautifully complement silver hair.
-
4. Use a light hand.
Over-drawing or over-filling your brows can result in an unnatural look.
As it’s far easier to add more product than it is to take any away, we suggest using a light hand and a “less-is-more” approach when applying your brow mousse.
Be sure to step back frequently to look at your full face in context before adding more.
Accidentally make a stray mark? Use your finger or a brush to smudge or blend it out or a bit of moisturizer on a cotton pad to remove it.
With these tips, your brows will subtly frame your face and help call attention to your favorite features.
