    Can I use baby shampoo to get mascara off, or is it just for everything above the eyelashes?
    Community Answer
    It would be better to use cooking oil or a fatty nourishing cream if you do not have a professional remover.
  • Question
    My mom doesn't let me wear makeup, but when I go to school I put on eyeliner and mascara anyway. I need to get it off at the end of the day so that my mom doesn't know, so will the baby wipes work?
    Community Answer
    Yes, baby wipes will work, but if your friends have makeup wipes, ask to use these.
  • Question
    Will I get bad acne if I don't remove my makeup?
    Community Answer
    You might. Some people are more susceptible to acne than others. It's important to take off your makeup every night before you go to bed. Make sure you choose oil-free makeup that won't add oils to your skin and lead to more acne.

    Oils work very well to remove eye makeup from sensitive skin. Be careful not to get any in your eye or your vision can blur for a couple minutes. I would avoid a moisturizer in case it has any perfumes in it that could irritate your eyes.

  • Question
    Can I use alcohol wipes to remove eye makeup?
    Community Answer
    It is not a good idea, you may devastate your eyes and skin. The skin around your eyes is very thin and you could also burn your eyeballs if you get alcohol in them.
  • Question
    How do I apply face powder?
    Community Answer
    Use a powder brush or the pad that comes with the powder. If you have oily skin, apply it to your whole face. If you have normal skin, apply it to your forehead, nose, under your nose, cheeks and chin.
  • Question
    My mom hates when I wear makeup. She says I'm too young for it. Am I? I'm 12. And can I use Vaseline to remove my makeup?
    Community Answer
    It is a little young, though people have different views on when exactly it is appropriate to start wearing makeup. If you do use makeup at your age, it should be natural-looking. Method 2 Step 3 addresses the use of Vaseline for makeup removal and advises against it. Vaseline can clog your pores and lead to skin problems. Follow one of the suggestions in the article or just use a makeup remover or cleansing oil (these are generally formulated with oils that don't clog pores).

    Try Garnier Miscella cleansing water. It works great.
  • Question
    Can I use body lotion for mascara? Is it bad for you or something?
    Community Answer
    It would be best not to, as most products not formulated for use around the eyes contain chemicals that are irritating or potentially damaging to the eyes, with the exception of extra-gentle products like baby products.
  • Question
    My mom took my makeup away, but I still put it on. What do I use to take it off at school?
    Community Answer
    The best and quickest way to remove makeup is to use makeup remover wipes. They're the most flexible things you could use, especially in school.
  • Question
    What is an effective makeup remover?
    Community Answer
    If you're looking for a wipe, I recommend the Neutrogena wipes that come in the blue packaging. If you want a liquid makeup remover, Clinique "Take The Day Off" is very good.

    My eyes are all red, sore, and itchy. How can I calm the skin?

    Community Answer
    Don't use the makeup remover again, as you are having an allergic reaction. One of the best things to use to take eye makeup off is coconut oil or Vaseline. Also, at makeup stores, there are usually these things called 'makeup erasers' that only need water to remove makeup.
  • Question
    Can I remove eye makeup by using Vaseline on a cotton ball?
    Community Answer
    Yes, but most people prefer to use a makeup pad. This works really well. If you do not have Vaseline then baby oil, olive oil, or coconut oil work as well.
  • Question
    I cannot get into my lower eyelid. How you remove under-eye makeup?
    Community Answer
    Take a cotton pad with some makeup remover for eye makeup. Then close your eye and gently remove the makeup with the pad. Swipe several times, and you will remove your entire eye makeup, also from below the eyes and without any risk. Make sure you do not touch your open eye directly, just gently swipe over and under your closed eye. Then, you can cleanse your face with a cleansing gel or micellar water and this will take off any remains of makeup on your skin.
