Find me some eye makeup remover please!

[TheHuntingOfTheSarky]

I don't wear eye makeup much but when I do, I always wear waterproof mascara because I tend to fiddle with and rub my eyes a lot , and it's the only type that stays put. Obviously this means I need to use a special eye makeup remover, but try as I might I can't find one that a) takes the mascara off and b) doesn't aggravate my eyes for the next 2 days.

Don't mind paying a bit if it works properly.

I've tried Clinique, Shu Uemura, Nuxe, Caudalie recently - all make my eyes stream.

Any suggestions?

I like nivea or garnier bi-phase remover.

I swear by the Boots No7 eye make up remover, it's better than all of the expensive ones that I've tried!

Nothing works better on waterproof makeup than olive oil. Rub it on dry, wipe away with a warm damp flannel and then remove the rest

I am a big fan of th cheapo Boots own-bran fragrance-free eye make-up remover in the blue bottle - it's about £1.50 and its gentle but effective.

My mum, who is v fussy, swore by the L'Oreal gentle one for years:

She's now wedded to the Body Shop camomile one.

I've got really sensitive eyes too, and this thing is brilliant: www.w7cosmetics.co.uk/products/its-magic-makeup-remover-cloth

Stop rubbing your eyes.
Waterproof mascara is only waterproof. It isn't rub proof - it tends to flake.
I would use olive/coconut/almond oil then gentle eye remover or water.
I no longer use mascara as Ii don't like the feel of it on my eyelashes.

Big money - La Prairie. I had a sample and it was gorgeous to use. Very efficient and quick, not stingy or smudgey.

Expensive but not as mad as above - Lancome. Also very nice to use, but no sting or smudge.

Cheap and just as effective - Nivea bi-phase. Quick, efficient, no sting. A bit smeary on the eyes of you don't use toner to wipe it off afterwards, but it does the job for £3.50ish.

I have sensitive eyes and these 3 have all worked well for me...

Not an eye make up remover specifically but the Body Shop's camomile cleansing butter shifts anything but is really gentle.

Nothing beats Baby Oil in my opinion. It's the best.

I like the Simple ones. There micellar water one is nice, and they also have one that is oil based which I am currently using. The best ever one I had was a Lancome one years and years ago. It was blue and you had to shake it gently to mix it. It even removed stage make up with about 2 drops.

Baby wipes do the job as well.

I've tried Lancome, did remove the makeup but next morning I still had red eyes.

I have the Body Shop cleansing balm which I use as a first cleanse, but didn't think it would remove waterproof. I shall give it a go!

Mike I don't have a problem with the makeup - no matter how much I rub my eyes it doesn't irritate them and I don't find it flakes. The thing that's irritating them is the remover. I don't want to use normal mascara because I also tend to get hot very easily and I don't want it running down my face!

Boots no7, the blue one. The only one I can use to remove all my eye make up. £8.50 but I Stock up when they give out those £5 off skincare vouchers.

Hair conditioner.

It melts away.

Or aqueous cream.

Castor oil. Gently rub and wipe off.Added bonuses longer and darker lashes.

I've got very sensitive, very pale skin and react to lots of skin products - Eve Lom Cleanser is my Holy Grail product. I've tried alternative cleansing balms, none are a patch on EL to remove EVERYTHING, waterproof mascara included, with one product. Tiny blob, warm up on fingertips, slather on (little goes a long way) and I use a dipped in hot water proper flannel to take it all off.., rinse, repeat..My skin feels and looks great. Even forget to put moisturiser on sometimes afterwards as I don't get a tight feeling from it. It is expensive but a big pot lasts me all year (I stock up in the Christmas sale).

Baby oil. It works better than anything else I've ever tried.

Def try the body shop - currently 40% off

Or the garnier oil in micellar though it is highly fragranced

If you are only bothered by the remover, try a tubing mascara. Avoid Blinc, though. I think .
There are a few...

I think Estee Lauder and Clinique do one, so does Kevin Aucoin. There are more. They come off with warm water.

Baby wipes!

Think about - if they're sensitive enough for a newborn's skin, they'll probably suit yours!

I use Simple Kind To Eyes Nourishing Eye Make-Up Remover Cream £ 3.80
Boots

I tried the clear version, but it didn't remove waterproof eyeliner effectively. The cream one was better. Says it removes waterproof mascara, but I haven't tested it.

Don't baby wipes have something in them for nappy rash?

BS cham works as well as olive oil. Try that first

Avene. I tried baby oil etc but always ended up with a film of it in my eyes.

The only thing I can use on my very sensitive eyes is bioderma micellar water (pink lid)

Elemis has been good on my sensitive eyes
