27April   {Giveaway} Paula Dorf Eye and Face Primer
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
