Are You Really Removing All of Your Makeup?If you're waking up with raccoon eyes or lipstick smear, discover the best ways to keep your makeup from crawling into bed with you |
The Right Way to Remove Eyeliner Dangerously close to mascara on the scale of most annoying makeup to remove is eyeliner, which we painstakingly try to get right on the water line and press into our lower lashes. This is where an oil-based cleanser, like Dermalogica Precleanse, $40, will work well for removing makeup, says King. Just be sure to look for a product that's water-soluble and formulated with plant oils or nut oils, which won't irritate the super sensitive skin around your eyes.
Use your fingertips to gently massage the pre-cleanser onto your eyelid and lower lashline in downward strokes for about 15-20 seconds. Then, emulsify with a little bit of warm water and use King's trick for removing stubborn eye makeup: Fold a cotton pad to create edges. Look into the mirror and use the corner edge to wipe close to the eye rim and in the line. "You don't want to pull at the skin, or push product into the eye -- dissolved product will sting," says King.
