Hi I've searched through ur post bu can't seem to find it. So I apologize if u have already answer this. What is a good makeup remover? High end and drugstore or even DIY.

I always use olive oil to remove my makeup… you only need a tiny amount and even the most stubborn makeup melts away.  Olive oil is good for your skin, doesn’t contain any irritating chemicals or added fragrances/dyes, and compared to most makeup removers, is less expensive.

It’s been years since I’ve used much of anything else.  I’ve always had pretty negative reactions to bottled makeup removers, and this is much more gentle and actually improves my skin instead of irritating it!  :)

Results from my “Makeup Removal” poll:

There are lots of methods we all use to get our makeup off our face at the end of the day - not all of them are ideal, but we do what we can.  Here are the different methods, by popularity (out of 76 votes! most popular first)

Makeup Remover Towelettes/Wipes - 16/76  -  Neutrogena was the most popular brand!

Washing face with a regular cleanser/scrub - 13/76  -  Lots of you just rinse your face with warm water, or give your daily cleanser double duty.

Makeup Remover on a Cotton Ball - 12/76 - Neutrogena was the most popular brand again!

Towelettes followed by a good wash - 8/76  -  Good for you guys!  You were smart enough to rinse away the oily, lotion-y residue left behind by remover wipes. 

Olive or Baby Oil on a cotton ball, then rinse -  8/76   - This is the way DSP removes makeup!  It’s all natural (well, olive oil) and actually nourishes your lashes to encourage growth.  Melts away even waterproof mascara!

Cold Cream or Lotion - 7/76  -  Pond’s Cold Cream is one of the most classic ways to remove makeup, and it hydrates your skin as well.  But using a regular moisturizer to remove eye makeup isn’t good!  There are lots of chemicals in most that will irritate your eyes.

Makeup Remover then wash your face - 4/76   -   Also a good idea, you don’t want to leave oily remover on your face overnight!  That’s recipe for pimples.

Vaseline, then wash your face - 4/76  -  This is the first way I learned to remove makeup.  It makes your makeup melt right off, and conditions your lashes and moisturizes your skin.

Baby Wipes  -  4/76  -  I’ll admit I’ve used them, because they’re very inexpensive and work very well to get rid of makeup.  But make sure you wash your face afterwards!  Baby wipes contain oil and even more lotions that will break you out.

.

But most importantly, PLEASE REMEMBER TO WASH OFF YOUR MAKEUP BEFORE YOU GO TO SLEEP.  If you go the whole night in your makeup you’re suffocating your skin and allowing nasty dirty and chemicals to seep into your pores.  Not good - don’t be lazy!  It only takes a minute to wash your face, and the benefits outweigh your tiredness.

Makeup Remover that is quick, easy, and doesn’t make your skin feel abused!
The Neutrogena Makeup Remover Towelettes Hydrating are an asset to anyone who wears even a little bit of makeup.  I have often been disappointed by other makeup removing towelettes, which leave skin red and burning. But, when Neutrogena introduced the Hydrating towelettes - all of my prayers were answered.
These are a must-have item for any woman (or gentleman who enjoys his guyliner).  They leave your skin feeling refreshed, clean, and (dare I say it) moisturized!!!! And for the price they are a steal!!!
You can purchase them at your local drug store - a quantity of 25 is $7.99
