How to Remove Your Makeup via Allure

Everyone likes a fresh start. If you want to wake up with clean, glowing skin, then you absolutely must take off all your makeup.

• Don't be childish: I cringe when I see women using baby wipes to remove their makeup. Those do not get the job done, and when I tell women this, they say, "But baby skin is so sensitive, this must be good form y face." Well, a baby's butt isn't covered in makeup that requires special ingredients for proper removal.
• Go easy: The process of taking off your makeup should be gentle and shoud never leave your skin dehydrated or irritated. That's why I like to use a cleansing oil, which won't dry out your face. Using your fingers, swipe a small amount of oil across your lids, eyebrows, and lips, and then lightly massage it all over your face. This will soften your skin and loosen the makeup, so youd on't have to rub like crazy. Then take a flat, square cotton pad--I like these better than the balls, which can be rough--and pour a little cleansing oil on it. Go over the same spots again, being careful not to scrub back and forth. Just skin the surface in one direction and pull up the color.
• Consider the eyes: When you wear waterproof mascara, swa the cleansing oil fo ra waterproof-eye-makeup remover. Otherwise you'll hae to rub so hard to loosen the color that your lashes will break. Soak a pad with remover, press down softly on the lashes for a few seconds so the formula soaks in, and then slowly move the pad across the eyes. This technique also works for long-lasting lipstick.
