RI Beauty Expert: Taking It All Off - Five New Makeup Removers
Saturday, September 26, 2015
Mom slathered on cold cream and tissued it off. And left an oil slick behind. A friend from high school didn’t remove her makeup at all (pillow forbid!) and what was left was the base for another day’s makeup. Need I tell you her skin was not pretty? Somewhere in the middle are effective new makeup removers that are actually good for your skin.
Melt it Off
Bliss Fabulous Makeup Melt - this innovative cleanser performs like a gel but transforms to a lightweight cleansing oil that leaves skin balanced after rinsing. It’s formulated with a spa blend of seven essential oils including lavender and sage. It does all the work and literally melts the makeup. Nordstrom

Shisedo Instant Eye and Lip Makeup Remover - the current spate of long-lasting lipsticks seem like mortar to get off and no one likes to go to bed with smudgy clown lips. Shisedo’s formula swipes it all off and leaves lips, eyes, skin totally naked. And happy. Sephora
Flash Clean
Maybelline New York Flash Clean Express makeup remover is quick as a wink. One cotton ball, one swig, two eyes loaded with waterproof mascara - gone, baby gone. What’s really special is that it deep cleans too and leaves skin soft and ready for sleep. Walgreens
Tart It Up
Tarte Fresh Eyes wipes have a yummy citrus scent that is truly refreshing after a long night partying. It may have taken a few minutes to get that cat eye liner on but one of these generous wipes takes it off in seconds flat. No tarts on the walk of shame tonight. Ulta
Gentle Toning
Caudalie Cleansing Water performs as a makeup remover as well as a skin toner. The verdant scent recalls lemons and mint and feels soothing and natural. It’s almost hard to believe that something so innocuously fresh can cut through heavy makeup. But it does. Beautifully. Sephora
Makeup is lots of fun but removing it can be a real drag. These innovative products make it so easy you can practically do it in your sleep. Don’t worry - you’ll get to bed soon - right after you get your skin clean and pillow-ready.
