I don't have any eye makeup remover on me. Will baby oil do the trick? If not, do you know any other way?

It is true that baby oil can clog your pores, but the skin around your eyes is actually incapable of producing oils on its own (which is why eye creams are so popular) so a little extra moisturizing is actually a good thing. In fact, mineral oil (which is baby oil minus the fragrance) is the primary ingredient in many moisturizing eye makeup removers. If you have dry skin, baby oil is perfectly fine. If your skin tends toward oily, just take care not to get it all over your face. Just be careful not to get it in your eyes, especially if you wear contact lenses.

That's pretty much all I use to remove my eye makeup... unless I'm traveling. As long as you don't rub it all over your face you shouldn't have a problem with zits etc. I've never heard of breaking out on your eyelids. I guess my eyes must be dry because actually the baby oil every night helps to moisturize. Just wash your face well after removing your eye makeup.

no because it is mineral oil and clogs up your pores and it can cause irritation around the eye area.
Cleansers and toners combined first you have to clean your face with the cleanser for the right type of skin and then after you rinse your face apply the toner and let it dry.
p.s. you can use day/night creams to hydrate the skin.

Yes you can use babyoil. But plain mineral oil without the perfume is better, in case you have sensitivities.
Vaseline works too.
As for clogging the pores, yes a non-comedogenic remover is ideal, but you said you didnt have any on hand.

Yes, it will work very well but make sure you wash your face with oil removing cleaner cuz the oil can make your face dirty.

I don't think its a good idea. get a real eye make-up remover.

It and vasaline will get your make-up off, but DON'T EVER USE IT! Either one of them are terrible for your skin. They clog your pores in your eyelids which can make sists or zits on your eyelids and it makes that area of your skin too oily. DON'T EVER USE VASALINE OR BABY OIL TO GET OFF MAKE-UP! IT WORKS, BUT IT HAS TERRIBLE LONG LASTING RESULTS! TAKE MY WORD ON IT!

On occasion it would be alright but I wouldn't use it daily.
