Makeup Remover Tips

Nothing beats the feeling of a great makeup day, but getting it all off at the end of the day can be a challenge, right?  Well, that’s where these Creative Makeup Remover Tips come in!

It’s so important to remove every last bit of makeup from your face before you head to bed, and these easy tips and simple tricks are absolute game changers! You won’t believe how well they work!

I received the following question from frugal friend Kathryn…

“Hi Frugal Girls! I’m looking for a frugal, yet effective, eye makeup remover. Do you have any ideas… or even homemade concoctions? Would LOVE some feedback!!”

So I shared this question with your Frugal Friends, and here are just a few of the fabulous makeup remover hacks that were shared…

My Personal FAVORITE Makeup Remover Hack:

When it comes to removing makeup, this is my personal favorite trick.  At night when it’s time to remove your makeup, use these Erase Your Face Makeup Remover Cloths to remove your makeup naturally… just with water.

I know it sounds crazy, but these miracle cloths are the BEST invention ever!!  Just get these soft, plush cloths wet, and gently wipe off your makeup.  They’ll even get mascara, eyeliner, lipstick… every last bit of makeup you’ve got on easily wipes off with these reusable wipes!  Seriously… you’ve GOT to try these ~ they’re such a game changer!

More Creative Makeup Remover Tips:

Sherry said: “Extra Virgin Olive Oil works really well to remove eye makeup.”

Rebekah said: “Coconut Oil works well, too. I should try it with a cotton ball – silly me, never thought of that! It will be much less messy now, I’m sure.”

Katherine said: “I use Jojoba Oil.  4 oz. lasts me for about 2 – 3 months and I use it daily as a makeup remover.”

Ema said: “I use Grapeseed oil.  It’s not super cheap, but if you wash your face before removing eye makeup, there will only be a little left to wipe up. Whatever you use will last forever, and it’s very good for the skin around the eyes.”

Jill said: “I cut up old washcloths into quarters, and use Baby Oil on them to remove make-up.”

Karen said: “A little dab of plain old Baby Oil on a cotton ball is what we used in the makeup room at my theater for years.”

Angela said: “I use a damp wash cloth & plain old generic Baby Oil.  I love how easily it removes all my eye make up (even double wear!) and how moisturized my eye area is in the morning. Wouldn’t trade it for anything!”

Grace said: “I use Jergens All-Purpose Face Cream.  Costs about 3 bucks for a pretty big tub that lasts forever!  Has a pleasant scent and is non irritating. I  have tried using baby oil and found that it always irritated my eyes and the skin around my eyes.”

Amber said: “I use my face lotion to remove eye makeup. I have sensitive skin so I can’t use anything that will irritate it. Face lotion works great and it is something I already have in my cabinet. It gets all the left over mascara and eyeliner off that my regular soap missed. Never have had to use eye make up remover!”

Tobi said: “I use soap…that’s all I have ever used.”

Shelby said: “I use Dove Soap and Dove Face Cream.”

Kristin said: “Use a slice of cucumber.  It’s a natural astringent and takes it off well!”

Elizabeth said: “Baby wipes!! They work wonderfully….and if you cut each sheet in fourths, a package will last quite awhile.”

Heather said: “I make homemade baby wipes and they work perfectly.”

Lori said: “It isn’t homemade, but it is cheap… good old fashioned Vaseline.”

Allison said: “I love to use Vaseline for my mascara removal. It is the best. I also shave my legs with baby oil. It makes them smooth and shiny. Plus, the baby oil seems like it last forever and you never again have to buy shave gel.”

Kristy said: “I like E.L.F. small eye make up remover pads.  They are sold at Target for cheap”

Debbie said: “Use 1 pt mineral oil to 1 pt water….shake together in a container….makes the best eye make up remover.”

Colleen said: “I like the Neutrogena eye makeup remover pads and I cut them in half because they’re huge (don’t by the target brand… they don’t measure up AT ALL)!”

Judy said: “I use Pond’s Cold Cream Makeup Remover.  It is in a green and white jar. Put it all over your face and rub it across your eyes to soften make-up. Remove with a warm wet cloth. It is very moisturizing but gentle on the face.”

Jess said: “Baby Wash works wonders for a makeup remover!  So if you have kids, you won’t need to buy anything extra!”

Julie said: “Baby Shampoo, a little drop on a warm wash cloth, dab it in another spot on the cloth to get both eyes, gentle rub. Then rinse the away.”

Lisa said: “1 part baby shampoo, 4 parts distilled water.  Makes an awesome make-up remover.  Especially good for eye make-up and won’t sting your eyes.”

Whitney said: “You can also find Witch Hazel for pretty cheap at most grocery stores in the beauty or bath section.  Mix 100% natural Witch Hazel with Olive Oil and it works as a great makeup remover :)”

Marissa said: “I use Witch Hazel mixed with Almond Oil. Works fine and the almond oil is good for my skin too. Plus, I use the almond oil for my skin, my hair, nails… and the witch hazel as a toner for my face.  Two ingredients with multiple separate uses, but put them together for makeup remover!”

    Please do not use baby oil around your eyes, I’m an skin care specialist and have seen more people sent to they eye Dr because the baby oil has clogged up the tear duct. If you get pink eye or other eye issues baby shampoo is awesome. That I do agree with

    I use flushable wipes to remove makeup. They work better on my sensitive skin than baby wipes.
