November 12, 2020How to Remove Waterproof Eye Makeup Without Makeup Wipes
STEP 1: An oil-based cleanser or makeup remover can help break down long-wear and waterproof makeup like mascara or eyeliner. As an alternative to an oil-based cleanser, you can also use a micellar water, which can effectively remove long-wearing makeup. Start by saturating a cotton pad with a product like the cult-fave Lancôme Bi-Facil Double-Action Eye Makeup Remover or the Garnier Cleansing Water All-in-1 Cleanser & Waterproof Makeup Remover.
STEP 2: Use gentle pressure to hold the pad against your eye for about 10 seconds to help dissolve the makeup.
STEP 3: Finish by washing your face with a cleanser. This will help get rid of any lingering traces of makeup or residue. Rinse well and pat your face dry.
