How to Remove Eye Makeup

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Use baby shampoo.

   Think it's just for bathing little ones? The "tear free" baby shampoo is a great way to remove mascara (even waterproof), eyeshadow and eyeliner.
   
   Eye makeup removers can get pretty pricey (especially if you wear eye makeup frequently), so this is an affordable and a pain-free way to remove makeup.
   
   Without the burning!

   Step 2: Wet the area of your eyes with some warm tap water.

   Alternatively, you can dab some shampoo on a cotton ball and wipe it over your eyelids.
   
   Using cotton balls ensures that this process is a little more mess free.
   
   If you'd like to only remove some of your makeup (you smudged it or made a mistake, for example), use a Q-tip! Just dab on some shampoo (or whatever you have at your disposal) on the necessary area.
   
   Then wipe it off with the other end of the Q-tip.
   
   Voila! , Some foam will most likely appear.
   
   Keep your eyes closed so nothing gets in them.
   
   Even if it is "tear free" you don't want to take any risks! , Just like you would any cleanser, grab your washcloth and gently wipe off the baby shampoo.
   
   Tada! Then gently wipe your face dry with a cloth towel.
   
   If baby shampoo doesn't work for you or you don't have any on hand, try the methods discussed below!
