Eye Make up remover????

Gemspirit — Fri, 06 Apr 2018 10:21:30 GMT

I have a question for all of my fellow beauty & fashion lovers. Do you use a special eye make up remover? If so, why & what brand?
My mother had the most beautiful skin and even up to when she was bearing terminal cancer, her face still glowed.
We didn’t have a lot of money for fancy cosmetics. Except her Estee’ Lauder perfume every Christmas. She used Ponds cold cream, warm water & a wash cloth. And for her eyes, good old Johnson’s baby oil.
Back then it wasn’t the unending world of skincare choices. It was simpler, like everything else.
We are told now, to never use baby oil. But, I still do! And, have no problem with pores or breakouts. I use purity to wash with and then Dr.Denese’ skin Care products. I find her line effective & reasonable.
I don’t wear much make up but, do use waterproof mascara as I have MS and get hot flashes.
SO~please tell me what you use? I’m very curious what’s popular out there?!?

Micellar Water on a cotton pad. Garnier is a good brand. There are three versions, the one with the blue cap and label specifically lists that it's effective on waterproof mascara.

Agree with the Miceller drugstore brand. I do love Lancome's eye makeup remover which is usually included in "free" samples along with purchase. I only use Tresor perfume so I frequently receive this free.

I use Albolene to remove all my makeup. This 12oz jar is around $10.00 at Walmart and does an excellent job of removing makeup. I remove the cleanser with a warm washcloth.

I use Neutrogena Oil Free Eye Makeup Remover to remove my Diorshow waterproof mascara. I also use Dr. Denese products including her hydrating facial wash and have been faithful to Dr. Denese's line for 15 years. My skin is great.

Even though her hydrating facial wash is great, I use the eye makeup remover to save my washcloths from being full of old mascara.

No, not a separate. Victoria Principal cleansers are superior, I think!

Yes, because Purity doesn't remove my eyeliner and mascara and also want to save washcloths from stain! I use Walmart equate oil-free Eye Makeup Remover which is generic for Neutrogena's brand and much cheaper too! Works great but remember to shake it first! I also tried the Micellar Water when it first debuted however, it removed nothing from my face or eyes so trashed it after 3 tries. Wonder why it works for some and not me? LOL!

Heimish All Clean Balm- I love it for breaking down and removing my eye makeup. I use the ELF Daily cleanser on the rest if my face.

@Gemspirit I recently read that Baby Oil is the best and also conditions the lashes -- don't get it in your eyes. Baby oil is my vote.

When in college, we all used baby oil or Vaseline. Then my ophthalmologist told me the dangers of getting it in eyes, not water soluble and can form film behind the eye.

I now use my Bobbi Brown Soothing Cleansing Oil which removes eye makeup (don’t wear waterproof except Mally, but comes right off) and rest of makeup.

Tried Purity years ago (burned my eyes) and although they show models removing eye makeup with it, the Purity wipes have a warning to not use on or near eyes...Go figure!!!

To take off waterproof mascara I use one drop of baby oil, rub it between my 2 index fingers, swipe it across my eyelashes, then wash my face with Dove soap and water to remove the oil and all my other MU. I use MU with a light hand so taking it off is not a big deal.

@Harpa

Where do you purchase your Victoria Prinicipal cleanser? I just want to add that I use Clinique's Take the Day OFF when I have it from GWP otherwise I use Ponds.

I've used Avon eye make up remover for yrs. It's fairly cheap & works great for me.

I use Lancôme Bi-Facil eye makeup remover. Some people say it stings & use other products. I’ve had no problems with using it.

I've tried that one but it leaves my eyelids looking weird, chalky & dry. Kind of like a wrinkled up piece of tissue paper. Hard to explain.

I really don't like having to use a bunch of products. Since I wear L'Oreal's Double Extend Mascara which have the "tubes" which just come off with water, I remove them first with just my fingers and water. Then I take a tiny bit of the Tula cleansing oil on a cotton pad to remove my eyeshadow and liner then use more of the oil to remove the rest of my makeup.
