Best eye make up remover?

Options
I have started wearing waterproof mascara and struggling to find a remover that takes it off properly. Anyone got any recommendations?

    I wear waterproof mascara and find that the Primark facial cleansing wipes ( fragrance free ) work really well and they are very cheap ....( 2 packets for £1 ) .... I've always got a bottle of Johnson's baby lotion in , so will use that with some cotton wool if I ever run out.

    These are the only thing to ever work for me with waterproof mascara and not irritate my eyes, although they are super cheap they are also often on 3 for 2 :)

    i take mine off with olive oil, the oil seems to dissolve the mascara so you can take it off with a damp muslin cloth or damp cotton wool

    Lancome bi-facil is my holy grail remover. i usually buy the little trial/special offer bottles off ebay as they can work out cheaper. you don't need a lot so they last a long time.
  • Not a big fan of Simple products, but I find their eye makeup remover really good.

    I use Bioderma to remove my eye makeup and sometimes makeup if I can't be bothered doing a proper cleanse.

    It's just started to get stocked in the UK its a french brand and their products are thought to be superior to ours.

    All the top Makeup Artists seem to use it and it really good doesn't irrate eyes and gets even waterproof mascara/liner off.
  • I don't often wear mascara, but I do love my eyeliner. I find that Dermalogica's Pre-Cleanse works a treat, both to get the eye make-up off, and to cleanse the rest of my face. It's not cheap, but it's worth it.
    From Starrystarrynight to Starrystarrynight1 and now I'm back...don't have a clue how!

    Clinique 's Take the Day Off, bought in Duty Free, is good.

    I use Body Shops cleansing oil for my first cleanse (I double cleanse only if I am wearing make up) and that seems to move mascara.

    I use Aldi Lacura facial cleanser and make up remover, I think its around £2 a bottle. Gentle and smells nice!

    I always have baby oil in as well, it gets it off a treat (my bobby brown gel eyeliner is a right one to get off!)
