How to Remove Mascara From Eyelids

Makeup helps bring out your natural features and mascara adds the finishing touch. It thickens, darkens and adds length to your lashes. After applying it you will need to know how to remove the mascara that gets on your eyelids. Removing mascara is easy if you know how to do it. It doesn't matter what color or kind of mascara you use; removing it is the same.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Cotton swaps
• Petroleum jelly or mineral oil
• Mascara remover

1. Remove unwanted mascara by dipping a cotton swab into mineral oil or even a little petroleum jelly and wipe away the mascara on your eyelids.

2. Place the cotton swab on the mascara spot on your eyelid and twist it in both directions. You may have to flip the cotton swab over and repeat this process using the other end too. This typically works, but if it doesn't, there are other things you can do.

3. Look for eye-makeup remover that used for the removal of mascara. Most makeup companies sell the removal products as well.

4. Prevent smudged mascara on eyelids by cleaning your mascara brush after every use. Pour some of the mascara remover into a small paper cup, dip the mascara brush and swish it around a few times.

5. Dry your wand or let it air dry before returning it back its mascara container. This process will keep your mascara smooth and free of lumps resulting in an easier and neater application and a better look.

Tips & Warnings

• Avoid rubbing or removing all of the mascara from your eyelids or face. Rubbing will create a mess and make your face red.
