To be honest, I don't really have one makeup remover that is my all-time holy grail, but I have accumulated a few that I really do love. I don't usually wear makeup every day, but when I do I always make sure to take off my makeup when the day is over. So, without further adieu, here we go!
Glossier Milk Jelly Cleanser
I use this makeup remover on two primary occasions. When I wear a minimal face of makeup, I usually use this makeup remover at the end of the day. It is a great product when you don't have a full face of makeup on, but want to leave your skin both makeup-less and feeling fresh and clean. I also use this makeup remover when I take my makeup off really late at night and wake up the next morning and have a little bit left over on my face (we've all been there, don't deny it). It's super gentle, made with clean ingredients, and does not hurt my eyes at all.
One Love Organics Cleansing Oil and Makeup Remover
I was gifted this by my amazing mother (thank you mom) and I am obsessed with it. It is a little bit pricer, but it is totally worth it. I love this product because it starts off as an oil consistency, but as you rub it onto dry skin it becomes more like a cleanser. It is super gentle, but it does a great job and also leaves my face feeling like it was just washed. If this was not super expensive, I would use it every day as a face wash as well. I use this when I really have a full face of makeup on, like after prom full face of makeup look. My mom found this product from ONDA and it is truly an incredible brand that both my mom and I really stand by. All of their products are clean and focus on, according to their website, selling products that have "ethically sourced, natural, non-toxic, and organic ingredients." Truly amazing.
Clinique Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm
Now, if you are not looking to really invest in a product like the ONDA one above, I would highly recommend this Clinique Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm. Similar to the ONDA remover, you put this on dry skin and then it gradually turns into more of a cleanser as your hands warm the product. It does a fabulous job removing my makeup, including full face prom makeup. The one aspect of this product that I am not crazy about is that after using it, I still feel like I need to cleanse my face with a face wash (click here to read all about my favorite face washes), but besides that I really love it, not to mention that Clinique works very hard to create products that are great for all skin types!
L'Oreal Micellar Cleansing Water
This is really my on the go lazy girl makeup remover. If it's in the middle of the day and I am switching my makeup or if I am just feeling too lazy to really go through the process of washing my face, I'll use this Micellar water. It does a great job of removing my makeup, especially dark eye makeup, and leaves my skin feeling as best as it can without involving fully washing it. It is also an AMAZING price! This is the ultimate lazy girl product and great for travel as well!
