Use a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover to clean mascara. Step 1: Prepare one cotton swab and a tissue. Fold the tissue and place it under your lower eyelid. Close your eyes. Using a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover, gently wipe from the base of each lash downward.Then open your eyes, place tissue paper under the lower lashes, and use the cotton swab to wipe each lash individually from root to tip. Step 2: Soak a cotton pad with eye-specific makeup remover. Gently press it over the eye area for 5 seconds to allow sufficient time to dissolve waterproof components on lashes and eyeliner.
Follow the natural skin texture of the eyelid, moving slowly from the inner corner toward the outer corner.
Step 3: Apply a small drop of makeup remover to a cotton pad. Close your eyes and gently wipe along the eyelid's texture, moving from the inner corner to the outer corner. When removing lower eyeliner, look upward. Avoid excessive stretching of the delicate eye area to prevent fine lines.
Step 4: To cleanse eyebrows, gently wipe from inner to outer corners first. Then use the other side of the cotton pad to wipe against the hair growth direction, moving from outer to inner corners.
Use a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover to carefully wipe.
Step 5: After removing mascara and eyeshadow, residual makeup may linger between fine lashes or in eyelid creases.Dip a cotton swab in makeup remover and gently wipe perpendicular to the eye to prevent residue from lingering on the delicate skin around the eyes and causing irritation.
Step 6: Lightly wipe the brow area to remove brow shadow.
