When do you take your makeup off? Before I go to bed.
Your skin tone/coloring: pale, cool
Go-to makeup remover for heavy duty makeup? For eyes, Clinique or Elizabeth Arden bi-phase removers (I have the Lancome one but save it for when I feel I need some spoiling). For the rest of my face, Tatcha cleansing oil or Farmacy’s makeup remover balm or the one from The Body Shop.
Go-to face cleanser? Boscia (I’d been hoarding my last bottle til I discovered LOTS of bottles, very much marked down, at Winners a while back!)
When do you take your makeup off? Usually before bed-time but once in a while, I’ll take it off sort of when I get home from work or my daily activities (but that’s rare). I don’t wear a heck of a lot of makeup so I’m never in a hurry to get it off my skin.
Your skin tone/coloring: Pale yellowish, red hair, blue eyes
Go-to makeup remover for heavy duty makeup? I prefer a buttery-texture cleansing balm. Right now I am using one from beauty bay’s brand, and I like Banila Co Clean It Zero as well. I have tried ELF’s and I like theirs as well.
Go-to face cleanser? L’Oreal Bright Reveal Scrub, but I only use it once a day
When do you take your makeup off? about one hour before bed!
Hi! I didn’t replay about my ms. I was diagnosed 32 years ago, before Betaseron,etc. I’m doing ok, 2020 was awful, I had a spiral fracture and surgery. How are you?

Garnier Micellar Water
GO-TO FACE CLEANSER?
Paula’s Choice Resist Perfectly Balanced Foaming Cleanser
WHEN DO YOU TAKE YOUR MAKEUP OFF?
Bedtime
Skin tone/coloring: Light neutral, leaning warm
Makeup remover for heavy duty makeup: I don’t really have one, but my usual ritual is cleanser plus microfiber washcloth to get rid of leftover makeup. If I need to, I’ll do a double cleanse. I use Garnier Micellar water with the pink top for lighter makeup removal, like if I make a mistake.
Go-to face cleanser: Peach & Lily’s Power Calm Hydrating Cleanser is a staple, but Ivory brand bar soap also works well since I have very reactive skin and it doesn’t cause any irritation for me.
When do you take your makeup off?: It depends. If my allergies are flaring up or the makeup is uncomfortable for some reason, I wash it off in the early evening so I can let my skin chill out. Otherwise, I just wash it off right before bed, at the same time I remove contacts, brush teeth and etc.
Your skin tone/coloring: Under my name (blue-green eyes, dark hair)
Go-to makeup remover for heavy duty makeup? Aloe baby oil for my super waterproof mascara and eyeliner. Coconut oil followed up with FAB Pure Skin Face Cleanser, adding some warm water too that combo usually strips off all my face makeup without drying out my skin. Any additional residue left behind gets a no brand makeup wipe!
Go-to face cleanser? Morning: CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser. If I have worn makeup, please see above!
When do you take your makeup off? A few hours before bedtime usually.

Go-to face cleanser? I rotate my cleansers – currently I am using CeraVe’s Hydrating cleanser – which is very good. Others I have used are Neutragena’s Hydro Boost Cleansing Gel (excellent), Swisse’s Sweet Almond cream cleanser (very good) and sometimes a cleansing oil.

My undertone took me ages to figure out! I have a very fair neutral undertone that leans olive in summer. I am part hispanic and I just assumed I had warm undertones. yeah, no hispanic people can have cool/neutral undertones too! lol. I used to wear MAC foundations that their color system is opposite of other lines, so that just left me even more confused. I wore the wrong foundation color for a LONG TIME.
Now, I wear C2 in MAC Face and Body, Light in Les Beiges Water-Fresh Tint, B20 in the Les Beige Healthy Glow, Clair 20 in Vitalumiere. I used to always wear the lightest shade in almost every makeup line, but as brands have becomes more inclusive, I notice that the fairest shades are too light.
I use Lancome Bifacils daily. My trick for heavy makeup is a 2x cleanse. The combination of a terrycloth WASHCLOTH (not the fancy makeup erase ones), warm water, cleansing balm and a gentle cleanser. An aesthetician friend taught me that cheap washcloths act has a mild exfoliant and are best for deep cleaning the skin. The cheaper the better she says.
Makeup comes off right when I get home from work!
