I met Yonkers resident Cindy Joseph last spring while researching a story on the county’s most beautiful residents. The 60-year-old model and former makeup artist (who has worked on Christie Turlington, Cindy Crawford, and Naomi Cambell, among others) has created a fabulous—and super-simple to use—makeup line, Boom! by Cindy Joseph. Each Boomstick multitasks: the sheer color can be used as blush, lipstick, or eyeshadow; Glo adds moisture and shine; and Glimmer is just for fun because Joseph thinks makeup should be fun. $24 each or Boomstick Trio for $65 at KD Studio in Katonah, Silk Road in Bronxville, Greenleaf Pharmacy in Hastings, and www.boombycindyjoseph.com.

Pity the plight of the beauty blogger: Each week, the newest products appear on her desk, all promising younger-looking skin, tighter pores, plumper lips, lusher lashes, frizz-free hair—in short, a healthier, more glamorous life. Dutifully, Westchester Magazine Associate Editor Katie O’Donnell tests (or investigates) each item or service featured in WM’s Beauty Buzz blog. Life is beautiful indeed.
