What's YOUR favorite makeup remover?
For all over face makeup removal? Aug 26 10 10:15 pm Link I just use Extra Virgin Olive Oil Aug 26 10 10:30 pm Link Katherine Nguyen Phuong wrote: My face would cry a clogged pimply death. Aug 26 10 10:32 pm Link I make my own cleansing oil in 2 ounce plastic travel bottles and keep in my medicine cabinet. Oils of my choice + either Cromollient SCE OR you can use Polysorbate 80 (both obtainable from Lotioncrafter.com). I buy the emulsifier in such large quantities and oils like safflower oil, sunflower oil, etc are so cheap that I've been making tiny .05 ounce bottles to have on hand to give to models when I know I'm going to be doing something that would require more than just your basic cleanser to remove (like if I'm using spirit gum or prosaid, greasepaints, etc). I just don't assume anymore that models have proper stuff to remove this kind of makeup so I just give them what they need. I don't recommend using just oil because it doesn't break down in water. You'll just end up with oil residue on your face and probably makeup residue too. If you follow through with a regular cleanser that does have emulsifiers in it, you should be good to go though. Aug 26 10 10:38 pm Link to remove my make-up I use ... http://www.lush.ca/shop/products/visage … ltrasimple and to wash my face I use... http://www.lush.ca/shop/products/visage … de-charbon many nights I get lazy and only use the cola face and it does a decent job of removing my make-up too, but I need to use a bit of the ultra bland to remove my eye make-up ... I have combo skin, slightly on the oilier side, and before using these products I had mild adult acne and now my face is clean and clear, I love the fact that these are natural products and are cruelty free...

I get those too. I call them the "ones with their own pulse and zipcode". Aug 27 10 12:25 pm Link The best makeup remover EVER was Bonne Bell's classic 10-0-6. (Now discontinued.**) I've used this for over 20 years - works like a dream, doesn't dry the skin out and takes off anything and everything. (Not for the eyes though! For that, the best is the simplest: Maybelline Eye Makeup Remover.) **Guess now I have to switch to the replacement for 10-0-6, called "So Totally Clean." Aug 27 10 12:29 pm Link Neutrogena Fresh Foaming Facial Wash. It's currently the only thing keeping my skin from breaking out and it's so gentle to my skin too Aug 28 10 07:19 pm Link Lancome has a great make-up remover in a blue bottle (can't remember the name). Works fast and doesn't irritate my eyes. Aug 28 10 07:24 pm Link Makeup Forever Sens Eyes !!!

I'm about to finish the bottle I got a The Makeup Show Aug 28 10 11:14 pm Link Fancl mild cleansing oil, love it.

I have super sensitive skin, and I like to wear a lot of eye makeup, and these don't sting at all. Aug 29 10 03:45 pm Link ZoeBelle wrote: i like the lancome one too^^ Aug 29 10 04:33 pm Link Clinique Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm - it's like an oil cleanser but rinses off squeaky clean plus it's a solid so it's great for traveling! Aug 29 10 05:02 pm Link DHC Deep Cleansing Oil. Olive oil based but light; it emulsifies and rinses away in water. Takes EVERYTHING off! Aug 29 10 05:11 pm Link Maria Adelina wrote: Haha I have this too! Aug 30 10 06:23 pm Link I work for Lancome cosmetics and I use Creme Douceur and or Huile Douceur... they both have surfectants and emulsifiers. Surfectants are cleansers that rinse away clean and emulsifiers break down makeup, dirt and oil that wipe away clean. Both have anti-oxidant and purifying extracts and pass the white towel tests! *also safe for eyes and lips Bi-facil is the number 1 eye makeup remover in the world... u activate the silicone and fresh water by shaking it before use....gently removes everything including waterproof makeup Aug 30 10 06:34 pm Link Biore oil-in-cotton towelettes.

Sep 01 10 09:27 am Link For face I used The Grapeseed Company Green tea & Grapes creme cleanser. For the eyes, Lancome Bi-Facil. Hands down the best eye makeup remover I have tried. A close second would be Merle Norman's Luxiva eye makeup remover. Sep 01 10 04:42 pm Link LizW_Makeup wrote: My mom loves the oil. I prefer the DHC make-off sheets for myself and clients.
