Taking it Off
12 years ago by
I’m talking about waterproof makeup…
I don’t really buy makeup remover (Bioderma being the exception) because I tend to use cleansers that take off my makeup and leave my skin feeling super clean. A lot of you have been asking what is the best for taking off stubborn makeup (I’m talking deep red lipstick, waterproof mascara, glitter eyeliner) and here is my answer: cleansing balm.
I love how thick they go on and the way they totally melt into your skin. I’ve never met a cleansing balm I didn’t like…or that didn’t take off my makeup.
What do you use for hard to remove makeup?
Some of my favorites? Bobbi Brown, Extra Balm Rinse; Eve Lom, Cleanser; Omorovicza, Thermal Cleansing Balm.

i usually make my make up more removable with hot water and only then proceed to removing it with eau micellaire! :)

I really like (organic unrefined) coconut oil. It’s natural, affordable, and smells good!
organic coconut oil ..the one from RMS Beauty is outstanding. In a pinch I’ll use the one from Jarrow (you an get it at Whole Foods). I also always have a tub of the Clinique cleansing balm…works like a charm.
I love the smell of Bobbi Brown Balm Rinse but I find it hard to work with. Too sticky. Clinique Take the Day Off Balm is miraculous (and cheap!)
I usually use Amore Pacific Cleansing oil http://www.sephora.com/treatment-cleansing-oil-face-eyes-P232933?skuId=1161710 and the cleansing foam with my Clarisonic http://www.sephora.com/treatment-cleansing-foam-P232930?skuId=1161686
I have really dry skin so after using this product, my skin is so clean and soft! I wouldn’t mind checking out Bobbi Brown’s balm!
I use virgin coconut oil. I rub it gently on closed eyes to loosen the mascara, liquid eyeliner, and whatever I have on that day/night. Then I wipe off the muck with tissue and proceed with my regular face wash. It’s the only fool proof way I’ve found to remove waterproof make-up without irritating the sensitive skin around my eyes. Plus I love the smell of coconut and the idea of using “pure” organic ingredients.

Straight coconut oil. Or if I’m feeling energetic mixed with a little vitamin e
straight up coconut oil…
Un baume ou une huile démaquillante, ça marche nickel!
Le gras, y’a que ça de vrai! ;)
Une solution bi-phasée pour le mascara s’impose! ;)

Coconut oil too! Plus I live in a country that produces it, so it’s efficient, cheap, organic, and eco-friendly!
I use Johnson’s baby oil… Cheap, soft and efficient
i found recently at Sephora their own “Super gelée démaquillante jeux waterproof” and it works fantastic and your skin feels really good afterwards!
Thank you for all “waterproof”advices!!Have a lovely weekend
I just bought it and haven’t tried it yet! So far I was using Kanebo or Chanel for the eyes (and the rest of the face. Lets face it: who can be bothered using two separate products, both on the face?) or Shu Uemura, but Shu Uemura although great would stick to the lenses and I would have to take them out.

The Eve Lom balm main ingredient is mineral oil and it contains parabens. My fave is the Diptyque cleansing balm. All natural and smells so amazing I look forward to washing my face every night. I recommend using a muslin cloth to exfoliate and wipe off makeup before the final rinse.
My grandmother and mother always used Vaseline, which I resisted for the longest time, but it’s actually the best (and one of the cheapest) multitaskers around. I can even use it to take off waterproof false eyelashes
Coconut oil. The best.
Clinique’s cleansing balm called Take the Day Off! Works great on my waterproof mascara.
Je ne jure que par les baumes démaquillants et crèmes démaquillantes (même si j’aime utiliser de l’huile démaquillantes), le gras il n’y a que ça de vrai ! Mes préférés (dans le désordre !) :
– Cleanser – Eve Lom
– Miracle Cleanser – Aurelia Probiotic Skincare
– Skin Savior – One Love Organics
– Grapseed Butter Cleanser – Antipodes
Bisous !
Le Take The Day Off de Clinique est top. De toute façon, comme dit dans un précédent com’, le gras, y’a que ça de vrai :)
Je suis fan des baumes démaquillants, mon chouchou le baume Purity de REN Skincare couplé aux lingettes Emma Hardie. Cela dit rien de bat la puissance de l’huile DHC, une merveille!
