"Hi, I know all of you out there are beautiful, wearing your lipstick, wearing your makeup, doing the thing that you do, wearing that thick eyeliner. I love it, too. But the hardest thing is how to get rid of it. My name is Sylvia Russell, and I'm going to show you how to remove thick eyeliner. Now, you need a few things. Make sure you have some Q-tips on hand, some baby oil, some Vaseline, or some mineral oil, like I have here. It's clear, it's clean, it's very easy, and it normally won't irritate the eyes. So what you do is you simply take a little bit on your Q-tip. Start off small because we don't want to saturate and have a big, greasy eye. So look up for me. Simply follow along the eye, and as you can see, the oil is really getting that black eyeliner off very easy. And you just simply continue to do this until you get all that eyeliner off. Go ahead and switch the tip, and remove keep...just keep removing until you don't see it anymore. A lot of times, we use cleansers and we think we got it all, and we wake up in the morning and there's black stuff still under the eye. So just make sure that you use a clean Q-tip and repeat this process once or twice. Just go right under the eye like so, very close to the lash line. And as you can see, my Q-tip still has some black on it. So you just want to repeat this process until you get a nice, clean Q-tip. Remember, wear your eyeshadow, wear your liner, wear all the things that you love, but use the right products to remove it. My name is Sylvia Russell, and this is how you can remove eyeliner."
