FOF makeup maven, Paula Dorf, is giving away 10 sets of her eye and face primer. To enter, read her “7 FOF Beauty Sins,” then answer this question in the comments below: Which of these “sins” do you commit most often?
Thank you for entering. This contest is now closed.
[Read the entire interview with Paula here]
Sin #1: We don’t use primer.
Be a saint: Primer neutralizes oil, dryness and redness. It helps foundation go on better and stay in place. To use primer, let it absorb into the skin and dry before applying foundation. Try: Paula’s “Perfect Primer,” for oily or dry skin.
Sin #2: We don’t fill in our eyebrows.
Be a saint: As you get older, your brows get thinner and more sparse. Don’t fear filling them in–just do it correctly. Use a brow stencil that matches the shape of your brow and fill in with powder in your natural brow color. Try: Paula’s Brow Stencil Kit and 2+1 For Brows powder and wax
Sin #3: We’re over 50, but we wear our blush like 20-somethings.
Be a saint: Blush on the apples of your cheek looks great when you’re younger. But after 50, it can make you look sunken-in if not applied properly. Smile and place a cream blush on your cheek, then sweep it back to the hairline. Follow with cheek color powder for added staying power. Use a professional cheek brush for the most natural looking results. Try: Paula’s Cheek Brush
Sin #4: Lip liner overload!
Be a saint: Put lipstick on first, then a little liner afterwards. This way you’re not going over your lips, you’re staying inside. Finish with a little bit of gloss.
Sin #5: We’re afraid of colored lipstick.
Reverse your sin: Any woman can wear colors on her lips. Don’t be afraid! Lips and eyes are very connected. When you put more color on your lips, your eyes will pop more.
Sin #6: We use too much eyeliner.
Reverse your sin: When eyeliner is too heavy, it closes the eyes. So as we get older, we need to apply a thinner line.
Sin #7: We use our cleanser as makeup remover
Reverse your sin: Your cleanser shouldn’t be doing double-duty as makeup remover. When you use cleanser, you tend to rub. A makeup remover takes it off gently–that’s especially important around the eyes. Try: Sweep Away Makeup Remover

Joan says:
Unfortunately I commit most of those sins.
Sin#1 I never have used a primer.
Sally says:
I have never used an eye primer. However, I will now!
Christine Norman says:
Never use primer.
Elyse says:
I confess: I’ve never used primer.
Charlie Jeanne Klumpp says:
My biggest sin is one of omission (#1) — I gave up using primer to save money, and the difference is apparent. Your article remined me that I should give up somethng like Starbucks, instead — I could save money and calories, too!
Mara Kaplan says:
I am guilty of all of the sins. I need help!
angela says:
I don’t use primer, but maybe I should start.
Beth Lowe says:
I can tell after reading this that I use too much blush and not correctly for my age. I see that I need guidance in my skin care.
Lucy Sinker says:
#2- always fill wrong or the color is off
#7- trying to save time and money
so i guess i need more advice right.
Catherine Cordeiro says:
Mysin is that I don’t use a primer
Ellen Falkenberry says:
I don’t use Primer. Just never found one that seemed to work well.
Ruthie B says:
Oops! I’m guilty of everything except using primer…I just started a few months ago & love the difference!
lalexoff says:
too many sins committed…please forgive…and send me the primer!
Kim Cage says:
My sin is not using primer under my foundation. I didn’t think it was really that important. Now I know better and will use.
lorraine says:
I’m most guilty of #2-I rarely, if ever fill in my eyebrows, although I know I would look more polished. Don’t use lipliner or eyeliner, as I can’t see well enough to get the eyeliner on! Very rarely use makeup remover. I am quite the sinner!
Corinne says:
I’m guilty of Sin #1 – I have never used a primer on this 59 year old face. I guess I thought it would look too “made up.”
elr says:
would love to see the red fade away. Roseaca is no fun.
Sarah says:
I am guilty of not fill in my eyebrows, they are thin, but I feel like a clown when I do! I also use soap and water to clean my face/makeup every afternoon. I do use primer, moisturizer, and do everything else correctly. Minimal makeup…for a natural look
CR says:
I’m afraid of colored lipstick!
Shari Bennetti says:
hmmm, which sin do I commit the most often, as much as I hate to admit it, I don’t primer. I did at one time and loved the look I got, somewhere to age FOF, I got into a bad habit that I need to reverse and get me looking my best again. Great sin list to refresh us and keep us the best we can be, Thanks.
Phoenix says:
Probably #2. I rarely touch up my eyebrows.
Phoenix says:
Probably #2. I mostly leave my eyebrows as is.
Brenda Leon says:
I do not use colored lipstick or any, just a gloss.
ginger says:
#1 I don’t use a primer–only moisturizer with SPF and base.
Anne Cintron says:
I don’t use primer…..I guess I have always been afraid of looking too “made up”.
suzanne says:
OH MY!!! I commit SIN #1 …Honestly, I didn’t know I should wear primer under foundation. I would imagine this is something that could make a HUGE difference. THANK YOU for that tip!!!
PAM GEBHARD says:
I REALLY NEED TO USE PRIMER, AND I JUST STARTED USING A SEPARATE MAKE-UP REMOVER AND CLEANSER. MAKES A GREAT DIFFERENCE
kay wolter says:
I am super non makeup person….all natural most of the time or basic foundation and blush…need help now over 50
Colleen Craig says:
Primer, Primer, Primer……… 2nd sin, Using cleanser for removing make up. Sooo wrinkled, look like a road map, but most has been freeway.
Melanie Baril says:
I would have to say using cleanser double duty and not using a make-up remover.If Paula has a good one that will work for someone with oily,55 year old skin with all that goes along with that,AND, now rosacea that now has become occular also…I can hardly wear any eye makeup at all now when I feel I need it the most!Well,I have ran on here,I probably need to go to a guru,but I so would love to try Paula Dorf’s products.She is one FOF lady who has come a long way, and was not afraid to change up if her job was not making her feel inspired.She worked very hard and creatively to finally be where she is today.P.S. I guess I need to change my blush,too!(do not use a primer either)
Bernice says:
My biggest sin is I keep my makeup forever. I don’t try new products. I like to stick to the same eye shadow for 30 years.
AJB says:
I don’t use primer underneath foundation, however, I do use primer on my eyelids before applying eyeshadow.
Carolyn Purchase says:
My worst sin is #1. I always thought that putting primer under makeup would make me face look ‘thicker’ or too layered.
Roz Rickman says:
My biggest “sin” is that I don’t play up my eyes — they are my best feature (hazel). I’m almost 70 and my features seem to be fading a bit. As I’m writing this down, I need to do my eyebrows plus some lining, and, mascara, of course.
Would love to win these products — sound exquisite and lovely.
Mary W says:
My sin is not using primer. My real sin is not even knowing I needed primer!
Jacqueline Scott says:
My sin is number 1. I don’t apply primer first and I should because my skin tone is so uneven and on the blotchy side. I could sure use the help.
Rose says:
The one and only time I tried to fill in my eyebrows, one of my FOF friends thankfully informed me how bad it looked!
Ita says:
Egads. I think an elf came and took my eyebrows one night. But really…..when did that happen? One more makeup habit to add.
Oh.. and primer too.
A work continually in process.
Sheesh……….
🙂
Debbie says:
I actually need a Hollywood make up artist to do my make up the way that it should be done LOL!
Denise says:
My biggest sin is the eyebrow thing – the problem is I can’t see without my glasses and its really hard to clean up stray brows and put brow powder on without them. I end up cocking them up on one side so that I can atleast see out of one eye while I do the other! What a sight! Sigh….. I hate getting old!
swhite says:
Okay so I apparently need to work on the blush. Paula send you products my way I have a heck of a time keeping my make up on my face and dark circles can be killers since I am fair skinned.
Naomi says:
#1: I don’t use primer.
Judy Brenner says:
I actually don’t wear much makeup, so I really don’t have a problem with any of these!
linda townsend says:
my sin is not wearing a primer.
jacki says:
over 50 and wear blush the wrong way.
Bj says:
I am guilty of doing all the wrongs with my facial regime
Bernie Stock says:
Sin number 5!!!!!
I love PD we sold it at my old store where I was a department manager Parisian’s in Birmingham AL.
Sure would love to win the primer!
PEACE TO ALL,
BERNIE
Pat F. says:
# 7 using my cleaner as my make up remover is my number one, I do that daily, but I do use a good cleanser!
starsmom says:
#5 — definitely afraid of colored lipstick!!
Marla says:
Please forgive me Paula, for I have sinned, I don’t use primer and should have been. I am not used to wearing lots of make up and had been fortunate over the years to have gotten away with only using a bit of liquid foundation to only cover a few spots here and there. I have Asian skin that tans easily, too easily that I took advantage of it. I now am faced with melasma/hyperpigmentation and have now had to use cover up under loose minerals, which still doesn’t hide the brown patches. Maybe the primer will help set my make up better. At this point I’d love to try anything that will help. Thanks for the opportunity to try your products and have my sins forgiven…
amy mayer says:
I definitely commit sin #1– I never use primer and NOW realize how important it is that need too!
joanne puskarcik says:
Sin #1 “Guilty” My skin is very dry, I don’t use primer but I think a primer can help me. I’m so concealer dependant and seem to be applying all day.
Sin #2 “Guilty” Need a shape to my brows and I’ve been using an eyeliner to fill in the bare spots, help me!!!!
sherry stewart says:
The only one I don’t do is use a makeup remover. I thought a cleanser was OK. I need to check into this idea. Thanks.
Tracey D says:
I’ll take a Sin #1 to go, please…..
No, I don’t use a primer. Now, I know I should!
Thanks,
Tracey D

Anne-Marie Amiel says:
I really like tips that are applicable to women of, shall we say, mature sophistication! These are practical tips for normal women, not over-the-top guides to would-be runway models. Thank you!
Valerie says:
I am guilty of more than one, but #7 is a daily mistake for me. I always use my cleanser as a makeup remover. It’s time to update my routine. I’ve been looking for good primers too. These look wonderful! Thanks!
Toni says:
#5….I wear a neutral lipstick
Min says:
Sin #1: We don’t use primer.
Mary Jo Manzanares says:
#1 – I never use primer.
Lynn says:
Guilty, sin #2, I have very light brows and have difficulty finding a color that doesn’t look penciled in.
Debbiet says:
I have NEVER had any eyebrows?? So trying to fake them now won’t work for me.
Beverly Young says:
My only sin is using very light pink lipstick. I do not feel comfortable wearing a brighter color.
Julie says:
No. 3 definitely!
Michelle says:
I wear too much eyeliner and I don’t fill in my eyebrows..this has to be done correctly or it looks fake..I’m afraid to do it!
Denise Medvid says:
I don’t use primer and really should as I tend to sweat off my makeup with hot flashes!
jan t. says:
Where oh where have my eybrows gone! I occasionally will try to fill them in, but then I’m afraid they look too heavy, so I just don’t do it.
Marilyn McAlister says:
I have been guilty of using my cleanser as makeup remover. Starting today, I will not do this again!
Marcia Robinson says:
OMG! So I’m guilty of at least 2 (#1 & 3) of the 7 deadly sins. Paula would probably tell me I’m guilty of more. However, I do believe Paula should help me correct any and all of the sins even if not guilt of all. Have been trying to find a good cream blush but never sure of the color.
Natalie J. Vandenberghe says:
I’m guilty of Sin #1 and Sin #7 🙁
Thanks for educating me!
wendy says:
I confess, I commit all 5 sins at one time or another. But the eye brow filler is my worst sin, I always have had almost invisible eyebrows and the look clownish colored.
Deb says:
I am guilty of using my cleanser as a makeup remover. Although I will use remover to take off my eye makeup. I need a new primer, would love to try Paula’s. Thanks!!
BARBARA S says:
do not use primer; just not in the habit yet altho I know it helps……
norma edlemon says:
I would have to say wearing of the blush, I need one for the over 60 crowd
Edith Greene says:
I’m over 50 but wear my blush like I did when I was 20 something!
Joanne Nothnagle says:
I have not used primer during my makeup routine. I have worried that it will add to the layers causing my make-up to look caked on. At my age – almost 60 – I have tended to use lighter and lighter forms of make-up – I’m now using a tinted moisturizer for foundation. Looks like I need to rethink this!
susan says:
I guess the only sin I don’t commit is that I am not afraid of bright lipstick. Otherwise, I am in need of help. Paula could work wonders on me!
Mary says:
I’m guilty too! I don’t ususally use a separate makeup remover, just cleanser. I would love to win these products!
katie says:
1-3 and 7 guilty
Kay Ray says:
Okay
1) I don’t use primer
2) I still have eyebrows
3) I’m doing pretty good with the blush
4) Lip liner dries my lips out, so I don’t wear it!
5) I wear lipstick with color!!!
6) I don’t wear eyeliner
7) I use my cleanser to remove my makeup
So 3 out of 7 sins not too bad!!!!!!
Sharon says:
Sin # 5 – I still tend to wear plum colored lipstick. I really could use some help here.
Susan Lockwood says:
Ugh!!!! I use my cleanser to do double-duty and remove my make-up as well. Plus, I don’t use a primer.
Linda Meyer says:
RIght at the top of the list! I don’t use primer, and I’m sure it would help me to look better.
Vicki says:
That would be sin #1 – I don’t use a primer. I do moisturize – but don’t prime. 🙁
Erika Bradley says:
WOW!
I can’t believe the only sin I’m guilty of is #7.
I have dry skin; use vitamin E (edible grade) to moisturize and also to remove makeup. I’ve used make-up remover in the past but when I run out, I always revert back to my tried and true!
Christa Lopez says:
I use my cleanser as a make-up remover most of the time! I need to stop doing this!
Robin says:
I’m guilty of sins #1 and #4….must improve – thanks for the tips!
Ogden Kruger says:
OMG, every time I put color on my lips I wipe nit off in seconds. I am 56 and have been trying for many years and the farthest I ever get is some light gloss! Is don’t know how to fee comfortable with coloredmlips!
Sally says:
I confess. I’m guilty of using my cleanser as makeup remover. But I’m turning over a new leaf. Off to order Paula’s Sweep Away Makeup Remover!
Also guilty of not using primer. Mea culpa! Would love to win the Eye and Face Primer. Love Paula Dorf!
Nancy reilly says:
I never use primer!
Andrea C. says:
We’re affraid of colored lipstick
Carol says:
I use cleanser as makeup remover. Now that I am 62 I find myself not wearing makeup at all most days. Your products look like an inducement to try again. Very sensitive skin.
Sarah Snadow says:
As I have gotten older, I have TOTALLY neglected my appearance.
Deb L says:
Well, I am not guilty of any of them. I am 53 but people tell me I look like I am in my mid-40’s. Would love to win this….Thanks.
Shirley H. says:
I use my cleanser as make up remover.
Lisa says:
Number 2, my daughter gets after me about my eyebrows all the time!
Deborah Shirley says:
My sin is not using Primer, but it sounds llike exactly what I need!
paula says:
i commit sin #7, using a cleanser as makeup remover.
i’ll definitely purchase a makeup remover. thanks for the tips.
paula
anne says:
I use blush. Also no primer ever.
Cheryl says:
I’m one of those that doesn’t fill in her eyebrows; however, I have an excuse! I am silver-haired and I simply cannot find a gray eyebrow pencil. I have looked at every site on-line, including Barney’s and Neiman’s, and nobody but nobody makes this tool for women! Perhaps Ms. Dorf can help get one of these pencils into production for all of is who are FOF and rocking our silver hair?
Patricia N says:
Hhhmm… I’m guilty of several, but not using primer is probably the main one.
Kim says:
I use my cleaner as makeup remover. Guilty as charged! Time to make a change.
Arletta says:
Wow! This is great information! I’m guilty of #2 and #7. I have no idea how to do my eyebrows so I don’t fill in. I guess I’d rather do nothing than do it wrong. I didn’t know that I should use something other than cleanser to remove my makeup. I need help!
Deb says:
I never use primer – seems like overdoing it. Plus I do use a gentle cleanser as makeup remover as it works! Seems makeup remover too would dry out the area too much!
Shari says:
Wow. I never thought about not using cleanser as a make-up remover. I never realized there was a difference!
Pat says:
Using cleanser as make-up remover!
Cassi Jensen says:
I don’t use a separate cleanser for removing eye makeup, so am guilty of that BUT even though I have tried different kinds of eye makeup remover, I’ve never found one that doesn’t sting or irritate my eyes. Good old Ponds cold cream works well for me.
The other tips are interesting, learning the blush thing!
chris says:
I put blusher on the apples of my cheeks… guess I shouldn’t be doing that anymore since I’m 62!
Lynn says:
I never use primer. I can’t say I ever heard of it before.
Michaela says:
I rarely use primer, but know that I have to.
Beth Surdut, Visual Storyteller says:
Primer! Oy, I don’t even know what it is. A friend calls her under-eye cream “spackle.” Sounds like a paint job. And come to think of it, you need both for a professional look.
Barbara says:
I almost always use my cleanser to remove eye makeup. I know that this is a big no-no. It pulls on my skin and lashed too much.
Maggie says:
It’s that damned eyeliner. I’ve never used eyeliner before, preferring, instead, to use shadow. The older I get I find I need a little more definition and I’ve been trying to master the art of lining the eye. So far, I’m failing. Most of the time, I look like I punched myself in the eye. The line is always too fat, or too shaky, or not even, goes too far, or not far enough, or, or, or . . . Plus, where do you start the line? How far into the inner lid? How far out? Does the line get fatter as it goes to the outer edge of the lid? Aahhh!
Donna says:
My biggest sin is #3…not knowing WHERE to sweep on the blush. Probably need someone to show me( or maybe find an online how to video for us fof ladies!) But I love primer!!! And I wear Paula Dorf foundation in Ivory!
Jo Galamback says:
I don’t wait a minute for the primer to dry or set before puuting on makeup, so for me it’s #1
JEANETTE says:
I NEVER USE A PRIMER,I USUALLY AM RUSHED FOR TIME AND THIS SEEMS LIKE ANOTHER STEP THAT I HAVE TO TAKE TIME FOR.
Charlotte Cecilia says:
Have to admit that I do all of them wrong. Your article is very educating. I’ll do better starting from today. Thank you!
beth w. says:
heaven help me…i laughed through all my sins!
smfsprout says:
I almost never wear colored lipstick. Maybe I’ll give it another chance.
KAREN REILLY says:
Guilty…….I have to admit that I am put my liner on to thick. I guess thats a definite no no when your over 50. I will correct myself in the future.
Melissa says:
#5! I’m still afraid of color on my lips but my first step in recovery is trying out tinted lip balms.
Sandy says:
Using Cleanser as my makeup remover, plus not using primer.
Vera B says:
I am happy to say that I do not commit any of the sins!
I don’t know how anyone could go without using primer for even one day. I don’t use foundation and only a small amount of blush so the primer helps make my skin look much more smooth.
Jody says:
I notice as I am getting close to turning 50 is that my eye brows are fading and just this morning I tried filling them in but looked like a scare crow. I will need to practice on this one. My sin is #2
Sandra says:
I have abused sin #7. Luckily I don’t use a harsh cleanser. Thank you for this information. I will definitely use it from now on.
jeanne nelson says:
Definitely #2. Had permanent makeup but it has faded and I do not now what I am doing.
Catherine Kichler says:
For sure I am wearing my liner too thick! My eyes are best feature and feel naked without lots of liner..need to lighten it up!! I’m not sinning on the others!!
KAREN COGBURN says:
Hi Paula. I do not use primer which is a bad mistake. By lunch my eye makeup & foundation have settled into my fine lines & wrinkles. Would love your products to help me solve this problem!!
Gigi says:
I definitely don’t use primer. I hate that extra step in the morning.
shari says:
I only fill in eyebrow color on occasion, and I know that I should do it daily. It’s amazing the difference!
Nan Benabu says:
Wow…Wowww..I have to admit that I am guilty of all sins, all 7 of them…
Nancy says:
I work out of my home office, so am guilty of not using primer; plus, on those occasions that I do wear makeup, I remove it with my cleanser.
Ivy Pittman says:
Hmmm, actually none of them. But if I had to pick one close I would say using cleanser as makeup remover.
Nancy says:
Let’s see, #1, 2, & 7 – Guilty! I don’t use primer or foundation, so I shouldn’t count that one. And don’t need eyebrow filler, so just guilty of #7. Will have to work on that.
Lisa says:
Absolutely I use my cleaner as makeup remover. Oops. I will try to be more diligent. BTW, a cheek brush sounds good.
Mary Caliendo says:
I think I commit sins 1-7! Thank you FOF~let me go look in the mirror!
Joann Bally says:
Sin #1
Skip the primer way too often to save time 🙁
Pick me, pick me 🙂
Diane says:
I really could use some help with applying blush. Some days it looks great and other days…well not so good.
Zanne says:
I love primer but I don’t know which one to buy. I’ve tried two. One worked well, the other not so much. But in Florida, foundation just melts off my face and I found that the primer helped it stay put. I love the 7 beauty sins and agree with all but one. I’ve found heavier eyeliner on the bottom and a lighter or no line on top opens up my eyes more. And I don’t EVER bother with lip liner! Even lipstick is a pain, I’m a gloss kinda gal. What do you think of frosted gloss??
Mary says:
I have never used primer, so that’s probably my mortal sin!
Becky says:
I ‘m guilty of not always using a primer,my biggest sin. Eye liner I quit using a few years ago as I noticed that it just looks too harsh as you get older,the same with lip liner. I still have nice brows and I have them done monthly. I guess I need a really good primer to keep my best face forward.
Charlie Jeanne Klumpp says:
My biggest sin is one of omission (#1) — I gave up using primer to save money, and the difference is apparent. Your article remined me that I should give up Starbucks, instead — I could save money and calories, too!
Kai W. says:
OK so I need to use a primer just to even out my skin tone. It just so hard when I’m rushing all the time.
paula says:
I do number 1, 2 and 5
Debra says:
I don’t use primer as of yet but would love to cover up my pores….so noticeable since I’ve gotten older, and I don’t wear too loud of a color lipstick doesn’t seem to look right on my face but I do like a peachy pink gloss…that does look good…
Annemarie says:
I didn’t know we needed to thin the eyeliner line as we age! Also as my lids sag they also smuge the eyeliner so I’ve been doing without. Will try the thinner line. Thanks Paula!
Donna says:
I don’t use primer. I don’t really wear foundation, so I guess I dont’ think it’s important to use primer.
Debbie Chaney says:
Sin #2: Guilty! I don’t fill in my eyebrows…never even thought of doing that!
Laurie Summa says:
Wow…..I might have to admit that I am guilty of all sins ! Time to make changes and look younger and better….thanks !
Kim says:
I’ve never used primer. My eyebrows are a big mess-uneven, hair growing in all different directions, way too thin from years of too much tweezing. I have never been sure how to make them look better and I don’t know how to use a filler. My last big sin is years of scrubbing my face to death with whatever body soap I happen to be using at the time. I have tiny broken blood vessels from that. Never use face moisturizer, either, because of my combination oily/dry skin. Is that enough “sin” for a 50-year-old to commit?? LOL!
Gina Parker says:
I’m pretty good about most of them, but I admit I don’t use a specific makeup remover….so I’m guilty of using my cleanser to remove my makeup! I also don’t use a primer..just moisturizer.
Cynthia says:
Mine would be the eyebrows and the cleanser. I don’t know how to do my brows, but you’re right – I’ve noticed they seem to be shrinking! And how exactly do you use a makeup remover and not rub? I use a bit of mineral oil on a cotton ball to dissolve and remove mascara – and remove gently by rolling qtips over & under my lashes, then wash my face.
Linda says:
I would love to win this.
Rita Bankes says:
My #1 makeup sin is not filling in my eyebrows, just afraid I won’t do it right and they will be over done!
I am also guilty of using my cleanser as a make up remover!
Would love to try your products and have some instruction on filling in the eyebrows!
freda Witt says:
I don’t use primer. I know I should, it makes my skin look so much better. I would love to try hers.
jennifer says:
Thank god for this FOF site…my “sin” is the” blush”, never knew not to put on apples of cheeks as we got older… Thanks for the tip
kathy says:
I never use a primer. oops.
Krys Glynn says:
I am guilt of #2. I have never used I brow pencil put I guess I should. Will give it a try.
KAREN COGBURN says:
My biggest sin is not using primer so this would be great.
Tamika Wilks says:
Sin #5-I Will Vow to try some Color on my Lips this Season!!
Susan Herley says:
Would I ever like to try this primer! Have attempted several times with other brands in the past, but to no success. Help!
mary says:
Dont use primer. Would love to try it And no 5
Sue says:
Unless I’m having my brows waxed that is the only time they are filled in so #2.
Connie Faulkner says:
No 1; I have no primer; have never even heard of doing it before
MPena says:
I’m usually so tired when I finally get to bed that I break rule number 7. I try to save time by using my cleanser to remove my makeup.
Francesca Zummo says:
I am guilty of sin#1: I don’t use primer.
Also guilty of sin #7: I use cleanser as makeup remover.
I ask for forgivenes for my sins and some good products to use so that I don’t sin again.
Nancy says:
I love eyeliner and now discover that if it’s heavy closes my eyes. Oh no I have small eyes. I have to consider this 🙂 I also use my cleanse as a make up remover 🙁
Thank u for the tips
KAREN COGBURN says:
I do not use primer. Would love to win these products.
Susan Siceloff says:
Actually only sin #1 since I don’t wear make-up. May be a later comer to the make-up scene, but I’m ready to start!
Elaine Grant says:
My eyebrows are thinning and getting grayer. I need them to accent my eyes.
lisa says:
#3 and I’m from Jersey.
judy thompson says:
sin #1,I don’t use a makeup primer, just didn’t know. sin #2, I don’t fill in my eyebrows but they are very bushy, just way to far apart, they need to be filled in, when I do it, I llok like a clown. sin # 6, I have no idea how to use a eyeliner, believe me, I’ve tried.
Oh, sorry , suppose to be just one sin? There is so much I don’t know about makeup at age 56…..
Huguette English says:
I’m guilty of always doing sins #2 and 7 🙁
Doris says:
sin #5 afraid of colored lips, love the look because I feel it brightens my face but I hate when it bleeds or smears also I have thin lips.
cindy says:
I’m working on my body – I need someone to work on my makeup!!!!!!!!!
Pat says:
OK sin #1 & 5.
Always heard about primer but never tried. Seems like it would help with my rocesa. Used to always wear red lipstick. I SHOULD try color again!
Carole Penner says:
I definitely shy away from colored lipstick. I’m 63, and the older woman I notice with colors on their lips usually look clown-like! I used to be daring when I was younger, but now I play it safe with a frosted mocha.
Kim says:
I am oh so guilty of not wearing primer and not filling in my eyebrows. Just dont want to admit that they need it!!
margara says:
oops!! over time i ve definitely sinned! my cleanser is what i use for makeup removal, since it usually does take it all off! also i have neglected the primer power, as, until just recently, i have started using one on my eyelids.. send me to heaven FOF!
Susie Wise says:
OMG! I can’t decide which is the #1 thing I’m most guilty of. I go to the cosmetic counter and buy whatever they tell me to. THEN I go home and try to re-create the same look. I guess I should write the steps down, because when I look at my pictures, I think “Who is that old woman and why is she trying to look like a 20-something?” I guess it’s the eyeliner, no, the blusher, no, wait, definitely the eyeliner. My left eyelid is a little more wrinkled than the right and sometimes the line comes on a little heavier, so I blend it and it ends 1/2 way up the lid and into the shadow. I used to be able to
“put on my face” in 15 minutes. Now it takes more like 45.
Leslie says:
Hate to admit it but I am guilty of sin #1, 2 and most times 7. I do get a little lazy on foundation but always wear eye makeup.
melody sussman says:
sin #5
karen says:
I’m definitely guilty of not using a makeup remover…I have always thought of makeup remover and facial cleanser as being the same thing.,,what a surprise to find out I was wrong at this age ! I’ll definitely change my ways now that I know.
Alene says:
When I’m too tired to breathe, I use my cleaner to remove my makeup. But then I’m always sorry because most of it comes off on the towel. I guess I need to start getting ready for bed before I collapse.
Karen says:
Sin #1…don’t use primer. Have only tried a couple times.
Hofken says:
I use my cleanser as makeup remover
Melissa says:

Eddy says:
Not using primer
Portia Asher says:
I don’t use a primer.
I probably should, but I came of age when we never heard of primer and I guess I just didn’t keep up. I just celebrated my 79th birthday and I’ve been told I look pretty damn good for my age..love it!
I use a moisturizer, foundation, mascara, light blush, and eyebrow filler..
Jody says:
I’m must really be “sinfull” because I don’t do any of them. I barely brush on my sheer cover, slap on some blush, and add a touch of mascara. My eyebrows are the worst-sparse and thinning as we speak. Any colored lip color makes me feel like a clown and I feel like it makes my teeth look yellow. My hands are too shaky for eyeliner and sometimes I go to bed without removing any of it. Did I just admit all that? I need help!
Patricia Assanowicz says:
Oh Boy, GUILTY here on #2 and definatly #7. I own a powerwashing business and after powerwashing a two story home and at the end of the jobs I end up with alot of dirt, leaves and everything else that did not fall to the ground. My point is when I go home to shower I take my cleanser in with me and yes, set it next to my makeup remover, I never thought about the rubbing issue and creating a harsher outcome for my eyes, now I know why they are so darn red and scary looking. Believe me lesson learned, eyes have very delicate skin around them and I will use my makeup remover, hopefully I will use yours!! #2, where to start here, after finishing job, my eyebrows look like groucho marks, I was never one to remain calm with the tweezers, it is hard to tweeze my brows with my eyes constantly closing and opening, in between the OOH’s ad OWE’s, I know I need to fill in some of the gaps, yes, I tryed using a brow pencil a couple of times, my daughter came in and I think she is still laughing, so I stopped trying to fill in. Honestly I have never heard of brow stencils, it seems I have been missing out on alot, I would love to try the stencil. So those are my guilty sins, thank you for the chance of winning one of your eye and face primer sets. Now I can do it right the first time, nothing wrong with re-creating myself at 56.

My sin is using my cleanser as a makeup remover. Maybe I do if for simplicity and convenience but it’s a bad habit I have fallen into. Thanks for bringing up my awareness level on this.

I avoid most colored lipsticks.
Susan says:
I have routinely committed all of the mentioned sins, so thank goodness the list stopped at 7! I have never used primer and definitely have a fear of filling in my eyebrows. I know I need to revamp my look, but honestly feel overwhelmed as to how and what to use! I would so enjoy trying these products and perhaps my confidence would blossom.

I don’t use primer since I didn’t really know that you should use it.
