How to completely remove double wear foundation?!

TheDetective · 24/01/2015 21:43

I'm looking for your suggestions on products I can use to get off the double wear quickly and easily!

I currently use hot water and a flannel Blush or baby wipes. Sometimes make up wipes. I've used a mac oil based remover too. But they all take ages and are faffy. And I never feel like its all gone.

I was going to buy the EL take it away make up remover but at £25, and the woman seemed to say it would only last me a month, I'm not keen to shell out on that! It's rather ridiculous! £25, a MONTH!!! I only buy the foundation every 5 months at £28!!! Jeez!

Any good and cheaper alternatives?!

Almond oil massaged in for a minute and removed with warm water and a flannel.

I use almond oil and a hot flannel to remove double wear it takes every trace of make up off and I have lovely soft skin.

Lush's ultrabland.

It's amazing at make-up removal and leaves your skin soft, supple and feeling gorgeous. You slather on a 20p size dollop on your face, work it in and then wipe it off with warm wet cotton wool balls. Makes short work of even the best waterproof mascara.

any old moisturiser + loo tissue paper
followed by a lather (from a ar of soap) and warm water.

Bioderma eau micellaire removes everything and is really gentle on my skin.

Any cleanser and a hot flannel. Twice.

I wear DW every day and first remove with a Simple face wipe, followed by Superdrug's Naturally Radiant Hot Cloth Cleanser, making sure I get into all the nooks and crannies.

Hello, I've worn double wear for around the last 7 years and tried all sorts from high end to highstreet. Garner 2 in one makeup remover, shake and then put on a cotton face pad, makes it literally slide off your face in seconds x :)m.boots.com/h5/cat_hub?unCountry=uk&path=/en/Garnier-Simply-Essentials-2-in-1-Make-up-Remover-200ml_1160742/

Clearasil, particularly the "ultra pimples" one that has little scrubbing balls in it.
