A Painfree Way to Remove Mascara and Prevent Eyelashes Falling Out

Happy Tuesday! For this week’s “beauty tip of the week”, we tackle the challenges of removing mascara. Oh how I dread removing mascara and seeing my precious eyelashes on my fingers. The thought of losing your full eyelashes can be scary and if you’re not careful, half of your lashes can be gone. Well…maybe not half but losing a couple each time is so not okay. I am going to share with you a pain-free way to remove mascara while preventing your eyelashes from falling out. I have my own trick that I use to remove mascara but I also went to L.A. based makeup artist Dawn Subhasiriwatana and she shared with me the cotton swab trick.

Follow these steps!

This is actually a pre-step that I actually do that really helps! Take a hot shower with your makeup still on. After a couple of minutes, the steam will soften the mascara. Optional- If the steam doesn’t loosen it enough, grab a cotton ball and saturate with makeup remover. Hold it underneath your lashes for 10 to 20 seconds. Then slowly move the cotton ball away. This will help soften the mascara more.
Grab a cotton swab and dip it in an eye makeup remover. Neutrogena Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover is a great one and a bargain!
Gently use the swab to remove any traces of mascara. Stroke the swab in a downward position. You can even roll it around to use every inch of the swab.
