How to remove waterproof mascara?
The best way to remove waterproof mascara without tugging and pulling at your eyelashes is to use an oil-based eye makeup remover. Soak a cotton pad in the remover, press it onto the eyelid for about a minute, and gently wipe away. Repeat with swiping motion as necessary but only swipe in an upwards movement, the direction of lash growth, never side to side to avoid damaging the lashes. Then proceed to wash your entire face with your usual cleanser.
If regular oil-based removers aren’t your style, your next option would be to use micellar cleansing water the same way you would use an oil-based eye makeup remover. Similar to using an oil-based remover, you could also use olive oil in a pinch. Soak a cotton pad and press and hold to the eye. Once the mascara is removed, you can double cleanse, and you will mascara free and fresh-faced!
