is it really necessary to use eye make-up remover to remove eye make-up?

Question

i just started using mascara and eyeliner and never used eye make-up remover before, only cleansing soap to remove make-up. so im just wondering whether it would be better to use eye make-up remover to remove the mascara and eyeliner. if yes, how do you use it? and which brand would you recommend me to buy?
thanks very much..

Answer 1

The makeup removers seem to work better and don't require as much rubbing but you don't need the expensive stuff. Good old Ponds (the cold cream that your great-grandma used) makes a lighter cream that is inexpensive, does a great job and can be rinsed off with water.

Answer 2

I wear waterproof eye make-up and it is necessary to use a remover to get my mascara off at the end of the day. I use an inexpensive remover that is a Boots name brand. I find that you require less tugging and pulling on the delicate skin that surrounds the eyes. This means less stretching and damage over the years.

Answer 3

Not necessarily. It depends on what type of eye make-up you have. If you have waterproof mascara, eyeliner, etc..., you will need to use some type of eye make-up remover as soap and water will not wash it away. Really any generic brand from a drugstore works just fine. If your eye make up isn't waterproof, soap and water is just fine.

Answer 4

Eye make up removers do the best job without too much rubbing, they dissolve the make up and cause less irritation to the eyes. Any brand really, cheap and cheerful are just as good as the more expensive ones on the market.

Answer 5

Mary Kay Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover !!! its expensive but lasts a really long time. bottle i have now is a year and a half old. i guess if you dont use waterproof mascarra then you dont need to worry about remover but it does help get everything off and then you can start with fresh clean eyes to re apply makeup

Answer 6

I just used soap and water when I wasn't too tired to just go to bed (it goes away in my sleep ) but I have sensitive eyes and family dollar sells their brand of make up remover and it works too...it's just like a soapy washcloth. Dove and Ponds also make them as well. Good luck to ya.

Answer 7

It is not necessary, just use soap and water. The use of make-up remover is for ladies who have time and cash to waste.

Answer 8

I find it hurts like hell if you get non-eye make-up remover in your eye. I use Nivea wipes. Johnson's pH5.5 eye make-up remover is best, but it's really hard to find. I don't know anywhere that sells it regularly, but sometimes you find it in junk shops.

Answer 9

If your not using waterproff products then I wouldnt worry about a remover

Answer 10

it is necessary to use eye make up remover to remove eyemake upo but i always reccommend that you use a non oily one but you can also use a skin cleanser which comes ina lotion form you need to apply it with cotton wool you caqn use that as an alternative. but with semi permanet eye cosmetics an eyemake up remover is essentail.
