How to Remove Makeup: 7 Tips to Get Every Last Bit Off (3 of 4)

Don’t forget the edge of your eyelids

This is one of the most neglected areas of the face, which is not great because mascara and eyeliner can easily build up. Makeup artist Nick Barose suggests using cotton swabs with olive oil. “They break everything down so you don’t have to scrub, which results in lashes breaking off and falling out,” he said.
