When you wash off the eyeliner, you may feel pain, as you are very close to the growth of the lash line, and the waterproof eyeliner will completely smear over the eyelids. Instead of giving up and walking around with raccoon eyes (or sleeping on a pillow that's all black with eyeliner), try the following makeup removal methods in no time.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Removing waterproof eyeliner

1. 1 Use highly refined petroleum jelly, coconut oil, olive oil, jojoba oil to remove your eyeliner. The oil in the waterproof liner repels water, which is why it lasts for so long. Unfortunately, this also means that it is difficult to wash off. The oils will moisturize your lashes and the delicate skin around your eyes, and can also dissolve the eyeliner, making it easy to wash off.
   • Using your fingertips, gently massage the oil onto closed eyelids. Make sure to run your finger along the lash line where the eyeliner is applied.
   • After 10 seconds, gently wipe off the oil with a cotton pad in a downward motion.
   • Never rub your eyelids or pull on your skin. The skin on the eyelids is too thin, and rough movements will lead to wrinkles and folds.
   • The oil is not harmful to health, but if it gets into your eyes, you will see blurry for a while.
   • Always wash your face after removing makeup.
2. 2 Use a makeup remover to remove long-lasting eyeliner. The gel is ideal for removing long-lasting eyeliner along the lash line, and the dense consistency will prevent the gel from entering the eyes.
   • Squeeze some of the gel onto a cotton pad. Leave excess gel on a cotton pad if you only want to apply the gel to the eyeliner line.
   • Close your eyes and run a cotton pad along the lash line, moving from the inner corner of the eye to the outer corner. Stretch the skin slightly with your other hand.
   • Use a clean cotton pad to remove any remaining eyeliner.
3. 3 Use an oil-based makeup remover. It will give the same effect as oils (coconut, olive, jojoba), but it will be more convenient to put it in your purse. If you have oily or acne-prone skin, you need to avoid oil-based products (and probably waterproof cosmetics in general, as oil can only remove them).
   • Blot a cotton pad with makeup remover. It is preferable not to use cotton wool, as its fibers can get into the eyes.
   • Apply a cotton ball to your eyelid for 20 seconds. You can move it a little or push it harder, but never rub your eyes.
   • Remove makeup with a cotton pad downward, but do not rub or pull on the skin.
   • Wash your face with your usual skin cleanser.

Method 2 of 3: Removing regular eyeliner

1. 1 Use a biphasic eye makeup remover. A biphasic treatment combines dissolving oils and water with vitamins to soothe skin.
   • Shake the bottle to combine the water and oil ingredients, make sure they mix well, and blot the cotton pad with the product.
   • Dampen a cotton pad with a biphasic product and apply to your eyelid for 10-20 seconds to dissolve your makeup.
   • Gently slide it along the lash line to the outer corner of the eye.
   • Turn the disc over to the clean side and repeat the procedure. Then wash your face as usual.
2. 2 Try micellar water if you have sensitive skin. Micellar water is as soft as make-up remover can. With its help, you can easily remove liquid or light eyeliner. Choose fragrance-free products if you have very sensitive skin.
   • Saturate a cotton pad with mycelial water, apply it to your eyelid, and stretch the skin slightly with your other hand.
   • Move the cotton pad lightly along the lash line to the outer corner of the eye.
   • Wash your face with a mild cleanser.
3. 3 Use makeup remover wipes if you can't use the bathroom. You need to find wipes that are free of alcohol and fragrance, as regular makeup removing wipes may not be too rough for the delicate skin around your eyes.
   • Place the tissue on your eyelids and gently run it along the lash line to remove makeup. Do not rub your eyes or pull the skin of your eyelids. ...
   • Wipe gently downward, working towards the outer corner of the eye until the makeup is completely removed.

Method 3 of 3: Troubleshoot eyeliner mistakes

1. 1 Use a cotton swab to remove any mistakes when applying the eyeliner. If your hand is not full or you are frightened by an unexpectedly jumping cat, and the eyeliner as a result falls unevenly, this is easy to fix. Dip a cotton swab in makeup remover (or oil) and then squeeze out any excess liquid. Then gently wipe away the makeup mistakes.
   • You can also use a cotton swab soaked in concealer to hide the eyeliner. Just make sure to blend the concealer with the rest of your makeup so it doesn't look like a dot on your eyelid.
