"Now that you've gotten home from your big night out with your old Hollywood look, you need to remove all that makeup. You need to especially remove your eyelashes. You don't want to go to bed with your false eyelashes on. I guarantee when you wake up in the morning, they're not going to be where you first placed them the day before. Basically, what you want to do is you just want to pull up on the ends of each lash. Not your lashes, but just a little tug on the false lash. You just want to peel them off. They'll peel off ever so lightly. They'll peel off pretty easily. If you're having a hard time with the glue, you want to just throw some water on your face, because the glue is water soluble, so the lash will come flying off as soon as you wash your face. If you want to salvage your lashes and keep them nice, peel them off nicely and then put them back in their little spot. As far as the eye makeup goes, that liquid eyeliner is going to come off pretty easily with soap and water. As soon as you hit your face with soap and water, it's going to come off. You want to use a really nice foaming cleanser, or eye makeup remover. Something that's really gentle to your skin. You can also use that on your beauty mark if you choose to do that and also on your lips. After the fact, moisturize. Moisturize heavily, and especially on your lips, use lip conditioner. That red pigment is really going to seep in and it's going to be hard to get off. Then you're going to need some lip moisturizer at the end. This is a great look to do. Just make sure that you wash it off that night."
