"Hey, my name is Chelsea Bagozzi, with suburbanheresy.com, and today, we're talking about beauty and makeup tips, and right now, we've done all of Nicole's makeup, and now, we're going to talk about permanently taking it off, some permanent makeup remover tricks. She has lashes on, so we're going to take those off first, and when you have on a lot of makeup, sometimes it's hard to get it off, especially if you're wearing like waterproof mascara, waterproof eyeliner, stuff like that. It can be really difficult to get off, so there's a few little tips that can help you get it off. You've got your makeup remover, but sometimes makeup remover doesn't even take stuff off, and so there's a few things that I like to use. I like lotion. Lotion takes mascara off wonderfully. You just rub it on underneath your eye, and it will take off that black film, that tends to fall right below the lash line, so when you take off your lashes, you want to be careful, because sometimes that lash glue, can stick to your regular lashes, and you don't want to pull any of your lashes out, so I'm just going to softly pull this off, and then you can always wash the makeup off, with your favorite face wash, and you can try doing that first. That's usually the best way to get off most of the makeup, but then to get off the extra, the residue and all that other stuff, you can use makeup remover wipes. That's one of my favorite things to do, is I'll just use some makeup remover wipes, and just rub circular motions, to take it off, and when you're taking off your eye makeup, you want to make sure that you're taking it off from the outside in, because if you're working from the inside out, you're going to pull that soft skin, that's very sensitive, and you'll get wrinkles, and crow's feet, and stuff like that. It will really enhance the aging of your skin, so you want to move from the outside in, to remove that makeup. Close your eyes, and same with the top, so we've got half of that taken off. Then, you just do the same thing on the other side, and then when you've got that extra underneath, to make sure your eyes, that sensitive skin under your eyes doesn't get too irritated. Use a little bit of lotion, and just rub that lotion underneath, with a Qtip, and then just wipe it off really softly with a tissue, and that will take it right off."
