Almay oil free eye makeup remover is good, not greasy. Lately I’ve been having good luck with Bioderma Micellar water.

Max Factor professional makeup remover. Baby oil works.

A few drops of Johnson's Baby Shampoo ( original formula) mixed in a a bit of water. Suds up, rinse, all residue is gone without leaving remover "scum" behind. The added moisturizers and such in makeup removers leave a residue along with the make-up you are trying to take off.

For waterproof or hard to remove make-up good old Albolene in a jar. It's water soluble so it rinses off better than the fancy over-priced stuff sold as make-up remover.

I barely wear makeup these days but I learned the tricks when I have had to deal with stage make-up and greasepaint removal.

I wear mascara so rarely that I just use a little olive oil or plain vegetable oil on a cotton ball, then wash my face as I normally would to remove the residue.

Switch to false eyelashes - they are much easier to remove and are reusable. You can get some that are reasonably subtle. I'm not a fan of mascara, but then I have thick, long, dark eyelashes and do not need it. All I need to do is curl mine.😉

I don’t wear make up in general but have almost invisibly pale eyebrows and lashes. I can’t use mascara due to contacts and sensitivity. I certainly couldn't wear false lashes and think they look very artificial, not to mention having no interest in spending time putting them on. Solution - I have them dyed.

That Lancôme works well. I like micellar water and a cosmetic oval for general makeup including mascara (though I rarely wear mascara, I always smear it or tear up and then wipe my eyes).

I use micellar water, works the best for me. It doesn't sting and isn't oily.

Pond's cold cream usually does the job for me.

Pond's here, too. I don't buy waterproof though.

I use astringent.

I use the Almay someone mentioned...works great.

I've used makeup wipes, vasoline, but find the Roth cleanser to be best for make up removal as well as dealing with skin issues. https://www.amazon.com/Peter-Thomas-Roth-Anti-aging-Cleansing/dp/B00NP07GKY/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=roth%2Bfacial&qid=1636674445&sr=8-2&th=1

I use baby oil most of the time.

I use a tiny dab of Cetaphil, a small splash of water, rub lightly and tissue off. Then use Cetaphil over my whole face, rinse off and pat dry with a towel.

Clinique Take The Day Off works for me on the rare occasion when I do wear heavier mascara and makeup. On days when I wear my usual mascara, I just gently wash my eyelashes with my usual gel cleanser, gently rubbing my eyelashes with my fingertips, and my mascara comes off. I never use tissues or anything harsh around my eyes because it makes me feel as if I have used sandpaper after.

I use cocoa butter.

Try pressing the remover pads on your lashes for 30 seconds before wiping. That should help loosen the mascara. I use the Neutrogena liquid makeup remover, I've never tried any "pads". This is what I usually use: Neutrogena eye makeup remover

I find it removes even waterproof.

I use Lancome too-have tried a couple of others, but always end up going back. Comes off very easily.

Clinique Take the Day Off on a Swisspers cotton pad easily removes CoverGirl Outlast lipstick and Clinique mascara. It is gentle on my skin and works very well.

Acetone will take off most anything but don't get any in your eye! ;-)

I actually wore some today for the first time in many months. I'm dreading going in and washing my face before I go to bed. I usually will follow up with whatever lotion or face cream I have on tissue to get the residue gone.

If you don't want to go and buy remover, you can always use an oil such as olive oil or coconut oil, baby oil, mineral oil, any sort of oil from the kitchen should work. For me though, I don't really like the way oil feels if it gets into my eyes with the seeing blurry for a while. My one sister has always used baby oil to remover her waterproof mascara and it doesn't seem to bother her at all.

I'm reminded of a short story where a young woman searches high and low for the scent she associated with her mother, who died young. She samples all kinds of perfumes and powders. In the end, she discovers it's Ponds Cold Cream.

I have a big bottle of Atoderm shower oil that I use in the winter months and for double cleansing my face, and it's great for mascara removal, too. It doesn't cloud the eyes like coconut or other oil can.
