We talked to experts and trolled the Internet for hours to find the best makeup remover tricks and hacks.

Great tips! Waterproof mascara is such a pain! And I hate paying the fee just to get my Shellac removed in the salon. And I'm about to get eyelash extensions, so I'm glad I read this first!

cold cream, even from the dollar store, removes all eye makeup including WP, in a flash AND moisturizes. A winner.

Ick, I hate cold cream! After using it, I needed to wash my face multiple times to get all of THAT stuff off. I haven't tried the glitter nail polish trick but I need to.
