I wear it daily and no matter how I wash my face at night (or in the morning) I end up with raccoon eyes. How do you remove mascara without having to scrub the delicate area under your eye?
-
Eye makeup remover (using a Lancome one right now that came in my free gift bag!). It's the only way I don't end up with raccoon eyes. And that's with using face wash!
-
I use a cotton ball soaked with Neutrogena eye makeup remover and then I wash my face. Sometimes I have to follow up with a cotton ball with extra remover or water.
-
Baby Oil
-
Vaseline or baby oil.
-
Eye makeup remover with a wide oval cotton pad.
-
lancome bifacils. the best! been using it for like 20 years.
-
cotton pad with cetaphil
-
@autumnlove: ditto!

Okay, so it sounds like I need something specific to eye makeup. My current face wash just isn't cutting it. I'll look into Lancome and Cetaphil.. I've used Neutrogena in the past and it made my face break out.
-
I use Blinc mascara, which comes off easily with water. It makes "tubes" on your lashes, so it never smudges even if you cry but comes off easily too with enough water. To remove makeup in general I wash my face with Cetaphil.
-
Eye makeup remover! I use the Sephora brand one (blue color) and love it. My routine is, soak a cotton ball with the remover and put it over my eyes. Then I wash my face. Then I use a q-tip to gently remove any residual blackness underneath my eyes! Super easy!
-
I "pull" it off with a baby wipe. I like doing this because I don't have to get anything else on my skin or mess with my eye area delicate skin. The mascara comes off on the baby wipe and I never have raccoon eyes.
-
Cotton pad with eye makeup remover. Usually I use the Sephora brand one and I never have an issue with it, even using waterproof mascara most days. I soak the cotton pad, then just kind of rest it on my eyes for a few seconds, then touch up with a q-tip.
-
Coconut oil is really effective!
-
@yoursilverlining: I use baby wipes too!
-
@Mrs. High Heels: agree, I love coconut oil!
-
@mediagirl: any 'makeup remover' makes my eye red and itch, which is why I stick to baby oil but coconut oil works well, too! and doesn't irritate my skin.
ETA and I only use waterproof mascara because anything else ends up all over my face.
-
I don't remove it at night. I just use eye makeup remover on a Q-tip to clean up what ends up below my eyes the next morning.
-
I use Bifacil too. It's AWESOME but pricey. But I can't live without it.
-
I use coconut oil
-
Almay Waterproof and Longwear Eye Makeup remover! Both the liquid and the pre-soaked pads are the best! Or Shu Uemura Cleansing Oil.
-
Ponds Cold Cream
-
Baby oil lotion!!
-
Maybe it's because I don't use waterproof mascara, but I have never used anything. It just comes off when I wash my face.
-
@mediagirl: Basically oil of some kind. I like coconut oil on a cotton pad since its natural, good for your skin, and cheap.
-
This is why I never wear mascara... After doing the make-up remover, soaking with pad, I need to go over it a few times and sometimes need to get a q-tip to clean up after!
-
another vote for coconut oil! All natural, smells great, and inexpensive (i buy ours from trader joes for $5.99 for a quart, muuuuch more volume than normal makeup removers). I then put it in an old empty jar of face lotion and keep it in the bathroom and refill when needed (the rest is in the kitchen for cooking)
-
i like neutrogena too...it doesn't sting at all and doesn't cloud up my eyes like oily types of removers do.
-
@pui: i don't use this brand but also use tube mascara and i LOVEEEEEEEEEEE it for this reason. even when i used waterproof mascara, it always ended up all over my face... i think i have really oily under eyes/eye lids. but the tubes stay put and when it's time to take them off i just have to wet my lashes and pull the tubes off! beauty!
-
coconut oil. It really works great!

Update!
@Mrs. Bee: @SleepyMonkey: @banana: @mrsjyw: I ended up getting the Lancome Bi-Facil eye make-up remover and a trial size of Neutrogena makeup remover wipes and. I love them both! The face wipes are great when I'm out of cotton balls and the Bi-Facil stuff works fantastic! Thanks for the suggestions. -
@mediagirl: i just bought another natural eye makeup remover and it doesn't compare to bifacils!
-
Baby shampoo! Wash my whole face with it in the shower and all of my makeup comes off.
