Why is eye makeup removal so important?

The eye area is the softest part of your face.Skin there is thin, sensitive and prone to irritation or wrinkles.

A good eye makeup remover should definitely be present in your bathroom.

Pick the best eye makeup remover for your routine

Everyone needs something different. Look through all the types, and find the right eye makeup remover for yourself.

Oil-free eye makeup remover

Eye makeup removers are light and fresh, and are suitable for removing lighter makeup such as non-waterproof mascara, eye pencil or foundation and powder around the eyes. They are a good choice for oily skin.

• Micellar water for eyes contains micelles, tiny cleansing molecules that bind impurities, sebum and makeup. Just apply it to a cotton pad, put it on your closed eyelid, and leave to act for a few seconds. Micelles dissolve makeup without you having to rub your eye area.
• A makeup remover gel has a refreshing texture and is easy to apply. Put a small amount of the gel on a cotton pad or directly onto your eyelid, massage it in gently, and rinse off.
• Thermal water or flower water is a great last step of your makeup removal routine or way to finish cleaning your eyes.

Oil-based eye makeup remover

Oil can easily deal with almost any makeup. If you're looking for the best waterproof mascara remover or the best remover for long-lasting eyeliner or firmly set glitter, choose from this category.

• Makeup remover oil for eyes can be applied to your dry skin with your fingers or a cotton pad. Oil is the best eye makeup remover for waterproof makeup. It can then be washed off with water.
• Makeup remover balm for eyes has a butter-like consistency which turns into oil upon contact with skin. Apply it to your fingers and massage it gently into your eye area (and the rest of your face) – all makeup will dissolve right away. Then just rinse it off. It's ideal as a gentle makeup remover for sensitive eyes.
• Apply a creamy eye makeup remover and makeup remover lotion to a cotton pad or your fingers, and massage it in gently to your eye area. Then just wipe it off with a clean cotton pad and rinse.

Two phase eye makeup remover

A two-phase eye makeup remover combines both water and oil ingredients. Shake the bottle well before use to make both phases mix. Then, apply the remover to two cotton pads and put these on your closed eyes. Let them work for a few seconds and then wipe off gently. The product will serve as a great eyeshadow, eyeliner and waterproof mascara remover.

Extra practical options

These makeup removers will be handy on the go or when you're short of time for a thorough skincare routine.

• Makeup remover wipes for eyes do not replace standard makeup removers, but they are handy for festivals, on a plane or after a party. Easy, fast and practical. Choose a gentle formula appropriate for your eye area.

Which is the best makeup remover for sensitive eyes?

Do you suffer from red eyes, stinging or irritation after makeup removal? Just pick a product marked "eye makeup remover for sensitive eyes". Such products are usually without fragrance or irritating preservatives. If you want something even gentler, look for an ophthalmologically tested or hypoallergenic eye makeup remover.

And what about contact lens wearers?

Do you wear contact lenses? If so, it's best to always take them out first. Even though some eye makeup removers are marked as suitable for contact lens wearers, use them rather as your last resort. Contact between the makeup remover and the lens can cause eye irritation and get impurities into the lens.

How can you remove eye makeup perfectly?

• Dampen a cotton pad, put it on your closed eyelid, and let it act for a few seconds. Next, wipe it downwards and outwards, never rub back and forth. Repeat the process with more cotton pads until there are no traces of makeup left.
• If you prefer a type that is applied with your fingertips (oils, balms), warm up a small amount of the product with your fingertips, and massage it gently into your eye area with circular movements. Then moisten your hands, massage briefly again, and rinse.
• Finally, remove makeup from the rest of your face. Don't forget that a makeup remover and a face cleanser aren't the same thing. After removing makeup, clean your skin with gel cleanser or cleansing foam, rinse, and finally apply skincare products such as serums and creams.

Treat your eyes to the rest they deserve, and choose a product which will become your everyday ally. Whether you're looking for a completely natural eye makeup remover or a conventional one, at Notino you'll find a wide range of makeup removers which will clean your eyes gently but thoroughly.
