Anyone who wears makeup will vouch for the fact that taking it off at the end of the day is their least favourite activity. I find it heartbreaking to wipe off a stunning cat eyeliner drawn with razor sharp precision. After all, it isn’t every day that both eyes have near perfect angles. But what goes on must come off, so cleaning your face thoroughly and meticulously is a necessity.
I would rather start over with a clean canvas in the morning than nurse an unwanted eye or skin infection. Makeup, especially the waterproof kind, can block the tear ducts on the waterline and give rise to a host of problems. I know I could totally do without this heartache. Besides, sleeping with makeup on clogs your pores, which only compounds skin problems.
So naturally your beauty arsenal is incomplete without an efficient makeup remover. A good makeup remover should be able to take off makeup without you having to pull or tug at your delicate facial skin. It shouldn’t be heavy or clog your pores (obviously). Besides taking off makeup, a Q-tip dipped in makeup remover is the easiest way to clean up any mistakes you might have made while lining your eyes.
