Best and Worst: Eye Make-Up Remover

If you’re love a smokey eye or blackest black mascara, then, like me, you know what hell it is to get it off at night… or sometimes the next morning. I have favorites and I guess what you would call “hateorits” in the eye make-up remover department. Starting with: 

• Best:

Klorane Soothing Eye Make-Up Remover With Cornflower Extract

Pros: Gets it off. Gets it all off. Gentle and completely non-oily. 

Cons: Currently not available in the US (you can order it on drugstore.com). Gets the “funny eye make-up remover” smell eventually

   

  

 

      

 Vichy Thermal Spa Water Eye-Make-Up Remover

Pros: Gets most of it off, gentle, non-oily, no funny smell, and totally available at CVS.   Cons: Gets most of it off.   

• Worst 

 M.A.C.  Pro Eye Make-Up Remover

Pros: If you are a stage performer or drag queen, this will take everything off… including glue.   Cons: Feels like you washed your face in an oil slick, and will continue to feel that way for days. Plus you’d have to be a pro to but this product at $17.00

   

 

And last, and unfortunately least, I must say something that pains me… because the absolute worst eye make-up remover award goes to my beloved: Neutrogena. Unfortunately their eye make-up remover doesn’t stand the test of time like their skin products. Oh well, no one can be perfect.  I don’t know how they can call this “oil-free” eye make-up remover when in fact it feels like “nothing but oil.”

(* In a pinch: use lotion or cream as eye make-up remover when you have none!)
