All waterproof makeup, eye liner, mascara and brow makeup can be removed with oils or any oil-based removal product that is sold by cosmetic companies. Most people have an oil based product already in their homes, without having to take a trip to the store and buy something, but it might not be suitable for use on a daily basis. If you wear makeup every day, it would be healthiest for your skin to choose a makeup removal product that is nourishing and beneficial for your skin.


The three household products that have been used for decades by women to remove makeup are petroleum jelly, cold cream and mineral oil. They are very effective at removing all types of facial and eye makeup, and will even work with heavy clown or stage makeup. However, they are manufactured petroleum products and some women may have an allergic reaction to them.

Most households have at least one of these products, if not all three, in the medicine cabinet. If you choose to use these products, the best applicators for them are cotton balls, cotton pads or cotton swabs. You want the softest, most gentle material to be in contact with your face on a daily basis. This is not a washcloth or any kind of fabric or material. Even toilet paper or tissues are not a good choice because they are derived from wood pulp, and they have microscopic fibers that can damage the delicate skin under the eyes over long term use.

Most drugstores sell cotton pads for makeup removal, and these have the gentlest surface with greatest ease of use. Look at the different brands and try to find one with the least amount of embossing on the surface, because this is hard and scrapes against the skin. To manufacture the cotton pad, the layers of cotton are pressed down hard and there are either dots or lines of embossing that hold everything together. If the edges of the pad are embossed and sealed, this will definitely hurt if you rub it against your eyelids. Try to find a brand that does not have this around the edges, but if not possible, just fold the cotton pad in half and use the center.

Use an eyemake up remover. if you're just cleaning up spots use a q-tip. other things that work petroleum jelly and baby oil. but need to be cleaned off after you use them because they're thick.
a good remover isn't too heavy and you won't need to wash it off if you only use a little.

I surely have hazel eyes. once I placed on army blue, my eyes seem relatively green. additionally, once I placed on a pinkish pink eyeshadow, they seem very green and that i'm getting many complements on it. you are able to flow to an opposite shade on the colour wheel as green to lead them to truly pop.

Use special make-up remover.
You don't need to use water-proof mascara unless you swim a lot.

Get some soap and water and wash it out.... and if that doesnt work you should go to the place you bought that make up and ask how to do that or give them a call! That's how i do it.
