How to Remove Eye Makeup
- 1). Use oil to remove eye makeup. Baby oil and olive oil both have the ability to remove eye makeup. Soak a cotton ball with the oil and wipe over the area to take off the makeup. You may want to use a dry cotton ball afterward to soak up any excess oil.
- 2). Apply petroleum jelly to the area. Petroleum jelly is best used to remove eye shadow. Place a dab on your finger and wipe over the eyelids. Remove with a wash cloth.
- 3). Buy a liquid eye makeup remover. You can purchase inexpensive makeup removers that are particularly effective in getting off waterproof mascara. Use a cotton ball or cloth to apply the product to your face.
- 4). Try baby shampoo. Tear-less baby shampoo is an option that many women with sensitive skin use. Use a cotton ball to apply the shampoo to the eye area. Rinse off with a wet washcloth.
- 5). Rinse your face after eye makeup removal to get rid of any eye makeup residue. Splash your face thoroughly with water.
