How do you remove your makeup? What do you use?
.
I use Lancome Bi-Facil for eye/lip makeup, and then I use my regular cleanser to remove face makeup. I follow-up with a toner after that!

Sadly my mother opposes buying expensive eye make up removers so she’s made me find an alternative. A friend of mine told me that some olive oil on a make up pad should do the trick. I’ve tried it and it’s better than any make up remover I’ve ever owned. Plus after a month of using it, my eyelashes are shinier and longer. :D It doesn’t matter what kind you use either. I’ve used dark, light, cheap, Syrian, Lebanese olive oils…all the same effect. :D
For lipstick and face make up, I just wash it out with my daily facial scrub, then once more with Dove soap. After that I pat my face dry and use a Garnier pure liquid toner that cleanses my skin. Gets all the grease out. :)
Thanks for sharing and letting us ms. Temptalia!!! I’m new to this site and I’m so addicted haha!

I use olive oil as well, but I vastly prefer the extra virgin. If you are used to expensive/perfumed/any other kind of make up remover, I think you’ll agree with me. It smells and tastes better – it’s just nicer. Besides from that, I’d REALLY advocate using an ecological oil. Non-ecological oils can contain pesticide residues, and even if any detrimental effects aren’t proved, I really wouldn’t suggest putting possibly-cancer causing chemicals on your face.
In winter I have a mix of verrry dry skin with flaky patches (my nose in particular – red and flaky. Ew.), and slightly greasy forehead and chin, so when I started using olive oil almost 2 months ago, I figured I’d break out like mad. Instead my skin-tone has evened out – the dry redness has gone -, I have no more flaking, and my lashes are longer and shinier. The length I guess is from the diminished tugging and rubbing to get off make up. I Clean my whole face with it, then wash off with warm water, and tone with rice water. The last I started doing with quite a bit of scepticism as well, but it makes the slightly enlarged pores on my cheeks completely disappear, as well as removing extra dirt that none of the other cleansers I’ve used have got. Almost like commercial magic ;)
(sorry if my language is a bit crude and long-winded – non-english speaker, I am)

Kat, how do you get rice water? Do you buy it somewhere or do you actually get it from cooked rice? Does it matter what kind of rice? Haha I want to try it myself, if you can’t tell!

I use Shiseido Tiss Deep Off Oil, it gets everything off really easily, but my vision goes blurry for a minute when it gets in my eyes! My face is so breakoutty these last few months, I think it could be one of the culprits, but I’m not too sure haha
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
I remove eye makeup with “bareEyes” (by Bare Escentuals), which is the best I’ve ever tried!
For the rest, I use Clean & Clear makeup disolving foaming cleanser. It will also remove eye makeup, but my waterproof mascara comes off faster with the bareEyes.
The Clean & Clear is actually my regular cleanser when I’m not wearing makeup as well… that’s how much I love it. :)
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
Oh my gosh, I do the same thing! Face washes vary but I use oil of olay toner.
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
Basis Sensitive Skin bar soap on my whole face, Alba Un-Petroleum Jelly around my eyes, and Dickinson’s Witch Hazel toner at the end for anything I missed on my hairline, jawline, and neck. I feel like this is a super low-end plan… but it works for me!
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
I use MAC’s oil cleanser. Easy and effective!!
Sometimes, if i just have eyeliner and mascara on, i’ll just use Garnier oil base make-up remover. Garnier makes one really good make-up remover!
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
I swipe on a bit of cleansing oil on my lashes to melt the Majolica Majorca mascara, I take a shower so the steam would help melt the mascara easily. When I step out of the shower I pat my face dry and use my cleansing oil to wipe away everything.
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
i first use the neutrogena makeup remover wipes to take off all of my makeup, and then i cleanse my face with purity made simple :)
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
I use the neutrogena wipe from Target. I start with my eyes to remove all the eye make up and then flip it to a clean spot for the rest of my face and follow up with my facial cleanser.
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
Most days I just use wipes but if I went out on the town and my makeup is a lil on the heavy side I use mac cleanse oil. It gets everything off without all the harsh scrubbing.
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
I use Vichy or Bioderma for sensitive skin aqua thermal makeup remover and the Clinique toner after that. When I wear foundation I clean my face with Clinique facial soap before proceeding to my normal beauty routine.
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
I use CLINIQUE toner after my SENSAI cleanser.
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
MAC Cleanse off oil has been a great life saver it’s so easy to use. I use bifacil for the left over residue on my eyes. Then Use Lush Tea Tree Water tonic to clean everything else off which is almost always nothing.
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
I use Purity by Philosophy once on my eyes and lips to remove any hard to get make up. Then I clean my whole face with Purity and a face brush to remove my foundation and face makeup. To finish everything off I wash my face a second time with Purity and the face brush to cleanse my actual skin (learned that from Petrilude’s skin care tips video…to wash face twice…once to remove makeup, second time to clean your skin)
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
I use olive oil to take off my eye makeup, a MAC wipe or Neutrogena makeup remover wipe for the rest of my face. Once I’ve gotten 90% off my makeup off, I wash my face as usual.
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
I use Philosphy’s Purity- it melts makeup off and makes your face feel so so clean. Then I use the Garnier Cleaning wipes to make sure all the makeup is off. If I’m not being lazy, I’ll use a toner, but I’m not sure that it really does anything LOL
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
I use Boots soothing botanical eye makeup remover for my eye makeup, then Equate cleansing cloths to remove my face makeup, then I cleanse with my usual cleanser… then toner, serum, moisturizer, etc, etc.
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
I remove eye makeup with baby oil and a cotton ball and face makeup with my Cetaphil cleanser. I follow up with witch hazel (toner).
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
I use the MAC wipes to take off my eye make-up. They’re the best I’ve found, particularly since my MUA suggested flipping the package over each day so that the top ones don’t get dried out.
I take off the rest of it just with a cloth and my normal Roche-Posay cleanser. Anything else irritates my skin.
If I’ve worn a particularly dark or drying lip that day, I might follow up with Smashbox’s lip exfoliant so that I’m ready to go in the worning.
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
neutrogena eye makeup remover and then cetaphil face cleanser. I do this before i shower each night and then after my shower, I use clairins cleanser.
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
I was a big Bi-Facil fan… until I met Shu Uemura cleansing oil. It can take anything off, and it’s also my nighttime cleanser! They make a lot of different varieties for different skin types, and you definitely want to follow instructions (apply on dry skin, massage for a while, moisten and massage some more, rinse off) for good results. This stuff has replaced my arsenal of removers (wipes, cold cream, Bi-Facil).
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
I’m a fan of the Shu Uemura cleansing oil as well.. I use the green one which smells good and fresh! It was expensive, but my jumbo bottle has lasted a year and I’ve only used half! Plus, it doesn’t dry out my skin, and since it becomes a cleanser with just a bit of water, it’s easy and convenient. On days where I’m wearing a lot of face makeup, I double up with Philosophy’s Purity cleanser. Love the shu!
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
I use one from L’Oreal for waterproof lip and eye makeup, the blue duo one. Then I do what you do to remove the face makeup.
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
I use MAC eye cleanser for the eyes, MAC wipes for the rest of my face. Then, I washed my face with the clarisonic.
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
shu uemura’s cleansing oil. makeup remove and cleanser all in one step!
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
I find it hard to remove fluidliners with Lancome BiFacil. I use Lancome Huile Eclat Cleansing Oil instead.
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
I’ve been using Aveeno Foaming Face Cleanser. It’s actually pretty good at getting most of my makeup off, but it’s not great. I’m looking for a better cleanser after this.
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
I use either MAC Cleanse Off Oil or Clinique’s Rinse Off Eye Makeup Solvent, then my regular cleanser!
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
i was using makeup remover wipes but they were breaking me out so now i use victorias secret makeup remover..i think its oiled base…works really well then i wash my face in the shouwer with a face wash and then a toner to follow.
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
With time? j/k
No, Um I use Neutrogena eye make up remover…Then I use a variety of samples lol … Currently I’m using my deluxe sample of Philosophy’s Purity , and it is pretty good. I just bought Philosophy’s Peel Wash and tried it yesterday as well as their lip exfoliator.
I try to keep it simple otherwise I will stop doing it after awhile.
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
I use a face wipe for removing my face makeup and the target brand eye remover that’s like the neutrogena one. Then I wash my face with my cleanser.
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
For a quick removal when I am at the gym, I use the walmart/target brand makeup removal wipes. They both work great.
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
I use a drugstore brand makeup remover wipe then I’ll wash my face with a foam cleanser just to make sure it all got removed.
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
I’m currently using Neutrogena eye makeup remover, too, on my eyes and then over the rest of my face. Then I cleanse with my regular cleanser (Decleor cleansing milk), and finish up with toner. Once I’m finished the Neutrogena I may go back to LUSH’s Ultrabland cleanser. It’s thick, so it’s easier to manipulate, and takes off absolutely everything.
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
I used Yves Rocher Soft Eye Makeup remover with Chamomile in the past, but doesn’t remove mascara well. I recently bough Nivea Visage Eye Makeup Remover and it’s terrible. Yes it remove all make up, ingluding black kohl, but it stings my eyes! I think I’m gonna change brand as soon as it’s finished.
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
I use Neutrogena’s Eye Makeup Remover on eyes and lips, and then Clinique’s Redness Solutions Cleanser on the rest of the face. I have very sensitive skin, everything else breaks me out IMMEDIATELY… I’m in love with Redness Solutions… :) I remove it with a tissue, and then just wash it away with water… pat dry, and that’s it.
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
I’m a Lush addict, so it’s Ultra Bland to get off tough eye make up (only eye makeup, though, this stuff kills the rest of my face) and then Fresh Farmacy to get everything else off. I usually follow with Breath of Fresh Air toner to make sure I got it all.
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
First I use Neutrogena makeup remover pads and Almay eye makeup remover pads. Next I use the Clinique 3 step system: the cleanser, the toner, and the moisturizer. Finally I use some Acne Free spot treatment stuff if I have an annoying zit.
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
MAC Pro Eye Makeup Remover, MAC Lightful Foaming Cleanser, and MAC Lightful Active Softening Lotion.
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
I use Sesame oil for the bulk of the makeup, then i spray La Roche Posay Eau Thermale, then wipe. Then i use Nude Skincare’s Facial cleansing oil, the Eau Thermal again to emulsify, then water to rinse, then follow up with Nude’s Clarifying water as a toner.
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
Use St. Ives cleansing wipes, then wash face with noxema, then toner.
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
My routine is EXACTLY like yours – Bi-Facil on eyes (I don’t usually wear lip products that require a remover) and then just wash like normal.
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
I use extra virgin olive oil for the eyes, MAC makeup removing wipes, and then I go through the cleansing routine I have for the morning.
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
For the days that I do a lot of makeup, I use MAC cleansing oil to remove my makeup first, then, clean my eye makeup with Lancome bifacil ey emakeup remover(there is always some left even after washing with cleansing oil)and then wash my face again with Purpose facial wash (whic I LOVE and can’t leave without). For lighter makeup days, I just wash my face with Purpose which takes everything out without drying your skin.
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
I’ve just started to use Olive Oil to get eye makeup off (or I use Neutrogena makeup removing wipes), then I wash my face with whatever cleanser I have/need to use up. After I move on the my normal skin care routine.
P.S. Does anyone know if the Olay make up removing wipes are any good? Or better than Neutrogena?
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
i used to use a wet wipe to remove makeup and an eye makeup pad for eye makeup but due to an allergy i know use boots no7 cleanser and toner or use lush ultra bland cleanser
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
Philosophy Release Me for eye makeup and my acne.org cleanser is plenty to take off my make up (I am break out and clog free)
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
I use avocado oil to remove makeup when I wear it and then follow up with cetaphil and rosewater.
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
I use Garnier grape cleansing lotion for my eyes and face, I use one cotton pad for eyes, one cotton pad for face. Then I use Neals Yard Remedies lavender water toner to tone and remove any missed out makeup, then I moisturise with Nivea moisturising fluid. I have combo/oily skin for reference.
I read about taking eye makeup off with oil-based removers and then found an article highlighting its dangers as apparently the oil can get trapped and create pockets which require surgery…apparently during surgery when they open the pocket it literally bursts with the oil, so that’s put me off ever trying that!
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
I use MAC Cleanse Off Oil to remove everything on my face, then use Philosophy Purity or Avalon Organics Vitamin C Refreshing Facial Cleanser to wash my face. If I’m lazy or really tired I use MAC wipes to get my makeup off and wash my face with one of the two cleansers.
I’m still in search of a good toner though, one that won’t cause inflammation to my sensitive skin or make my dry patches worst and oily areas worst too.
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
I actually use baby oil. Kind of bad but it doesn’t affect my skin in any way and it’s really cheap.
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
Baby oil
Get rids of everything, no fuss
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
I use natural oils.
