Help! No matter what I use there’s always some makeup left. I’ve tried Bobbi brown, Lancôme, L’Oréal. And a ton of others. Any suggestions? Thanks!!!
Best makeup remover

Micellar water (I like the generic version of drug store Garnier) I don’t even know if it’s around anymore as I bought it by the case. Soak a cotton pad and press onto the eye. It will dissolve your make up and not leave an oily residue or require excessive rubbing
I also like bliss non oily gel
i really dislike Lancôme or L’Oréal bc of thr scent and the stinging feeling
But. i am prone to Milia, so basically only rarely wear makeup nowadays

Bioderma (Sensibio, or Hydrabio) for areas with extra concealer, eye makeup and brows.
shu uemura A/O cleansing oil for the rest of the face.

Eye make-up I remove with baby-oil wipes, they are the ABSOLUTE BEST!!!!

I recently purchased long wear foundation so I'm doing a two-step process - garnier micellar water first, then cetaphil cleanser scrubbed off with a muslin cloth. gets it all. well, my mascara is a bit stubborn. not sure if it's the particular mascara (not waterproof) or the micellar water, but I always have some left under my eyes in the morning.
I also do a two-step process:
First I use KOSE Soft MO White cleaning oil - gently rub all over my face and eyelashes, then rinse with warm water using my hands.
Second I use La Rosche-Posay Hydrating Gentle cleanser - gently rub all over face and eyelashes, then rinse with warm water using first my hands and then a Wonder Cloth (microfiber cleansing cloth) - if I've missed anything the cloth will get it!

the coconut oil doesn't leave an oily residue on your face? I have some I use occasionally for my hair; didn't know it would remove makeup
I have dry skin. I rub a little all over on my face & eye area (for mascara since I wear waterproof) with my fingers and remove everything w/a cotton pad. Then I wash my face w/a cleanser then use toner. I don't find an oily residue, maybe cuz I use toner after.
I've found clinique take the day off cleansing balm to be great for removing even waterproof mascara
Hado Labo Oil Cleanser! It's the best. 30 seconds rub, and then wash right off. I think I've only had to do it twice because I really shellac'd my foundation on. Here's the bottle (I'd skip buying it from Amazon, there's no QA with beauty products and I've gotten fakes):
I have to double cleanse. My first cleans is to liquify makeup because when I wear it, I wear a lot. I start with a balm or oil cleanser. The balm turns into an oil upon warming up in my hands. I add water to emulsify the balm then remove it with a muslin cloth. My second step is typically a cream cleanser - I can recommend a few but really it is just the technique and the fact that I cleanse twice that removes the makeup for me. I really learned this quite late after watching "Get Unready With Me" videos on youtube. I used to try to rinse off oil and balm cleansers to no avail then I got sponges and muslin cloths. My skin thanks me. For days when I have piled on the eyeliner and mascara, I will start of with eye makeup remover on a cotton pad to get the process started. I love taking my makeup off just as much as I love putting it on.
Avène micellar lotion cleanser has never failed me. Used only this to remove my eye makeup, lipstick, foundation, everything! I have rosacea and dry skin and it worked well for me, doesn't dry up my skin after cleansing. Used it, thought it was good, then tried a few other brands as well but this is the best so went back to using it!
