Today I will be sharing a useful tip to ensure that there is no eye shadow residue on your eye areas.
I have tried this method on many types of eye makeup remover and can still find some residue.
The eye makeup remover that I have tried are as follows:
1. Shu Uemura Cleanising oil
2. Elianto Green Tea eye make up remover
3. Clinique
4. Shiseido Cleansing oil
5. Skin Food Milk Shake eye make up remover
6. Estee Lauder Cleansing milk
7. ROC Cleansing Milk
8. Simple Cleansing Milk
This does not mean that the products above are not good. It is because when we use cotton pad, the small areas cannot be reached. Therefore, I recommend that you try the method below and let me know your feedback. I have been using this method for many years.
The steps that I follow to clean my eye areas:
1. use an eye makeup remover
2. wash with cleansing gel
Step 4: sweep the cotton bud at the waterline area and eye lash area, repeat 2 times
Check your cotton bud and you can see that there are some residue that remains. Now, you can be sure that your eye area is 100% clean.
Next, apply your eye cream/eye gel. It can be the same eye cream or a different one.
I wonder how many of you have tried this method before?
Would you try this and let me know whether you find any residue?
Thanks for sharing.

yes I agree. Glad that we share the same idea.
I used to do a lot of theatre work and heavy stage make-up is even harder to remove.
ReplyDeleteWe were told to put some remover on cotton wool and gentley press it to the eyelash area for a count of ten.
Then clean up as usual.
Finally do the cotton wool/count to ten routine again. If there is any residue it will be visible on the cotton wool and will have loosened so it can be completely removed.
ooo... thanks for sharing this! I've been eye lining my eyes quite often these days but was having problem removing all the residue. Gotta stock up on Q tips and eye creams now! Whee!!
