How to remove makeup

Removing eye makeup: Saturate a cotton pad with eye makeup remover. A dual phase eye makeup remover works for most eye makeup. It combines the dissolving power of an oilbased remover with the gentle, soothing qualities of cleansing water. This is a good choice for heavy eye makeup — just make sure you shake the bottle thoroughly before use, as the formula tends to separate.

Removing foundation, blush: Apply quarter the amount of your daily cleanser to dry skin. Use a circular, massaging motion. This should take about 45 seconds. Use a wet facial sponge, washcloth, or cotton ball to wipe your face. Most of your foundation and blush should come off — you should be able to see it on the washcloth.

Removing lip colour: Use your finger to spread a thick layer of petroleum jelly over your lips. Wait about five minutes for the petroleum jelly to do its work. The oil in the petroleum jelly is dissolving the oil in your lip colour, which is what makes it so effective. It is drawing the oil out of your lips instead of repelling it, like water would. Press a cotton pad against your lips for a few seconds.
