Our Guide to Makeup Removers

Have you ever washed a face full of makeup and thought you got it all off, but then your fluffy white towel or smooth white pillowcase showed otherwise? Yeah, we’ve been there, too. Black mascara smudges, traces of red lipstick and splotches of foundation can get left behind on your precious fabrics if you don’t use a makeup remover before cleansing.

Makeup remover gently breaks down all of your makeup looks, especially long-wear eyeliners, lipsticks and waterproof mascaras for clean, fresh skin every time. Makeup remover comes in a variety of types including makeup remover wipes, makeup remover oil and cleanser, eye makeup remover pads and eye makeup remover lotion.
