Liquid eyeliner won't come off!

Thank goodness I tried it on my hand first.

I'm normally a pencil girl, but have fancied a go at liquid eyeliner, so I bought a real cheapy - the MUA matte liquid eyeliner, for I think £2.50.

It just will not budge! I drew a line on my hand first just to get a feel for it, then decided to take it off with my usual simple eye-make up remover. Nope, not moving. I have a couple of different Nivea ones, one of which is the oil/mix one for those heavier make-up events. Even they're not shifting it. I've resorted to a nail brush and some heavy duty scrubbing, and even with that, it's peeling off like latex, but in little chunks.

No way is that going anywhere near my eyes!!! Am I missing an obvious trick to getting liquid eyeliner off? Are they all like that?

I'm off to get some...

Try almond oil or any vegetable oil.

Vaseline? I use vaseline to get waterproof mascara off, paste it on and rub it in, then use micellar water cleanser.

Vaseline didn't work, either. It eventually flaked off. I don't think I'll be using it on my eyes! I wear contacts so the flaking would hurt. I'm just happy it was cheap and I tried on my hand first. The Revolution one is much better.
