DIY Eye Makeup Remover


What can a girl do if she has spent very last paisa on various eyeshadows,liners, blushes .. and doesn’t have enough money to buy a quality makeup remover? She invents one!! :D Well I would love to believe that I can invent something (besides funny sounding words)  but what I did in reality  is try a simple oil cleansing method with almond oil.

DIY Makeup Remover

I love almond oil in skincare. A homemade scrub made of crushed almonds in milk is simply amazing. Almond oil also helps in lightening dark circles. What I do to remove the multiple layers of primer,eyeshadow, eyeliner and mascara is take a few drops of  almond oil on the tips of my fingers and gently massage it over my closed eyes. After a few seconds all the makeup melts off and I resemble a very scary raccoon at this point.( My eyes sometimes get a little cloudy at this moment especially if I have been generous with the oil.) I take a ball of soft cotton and merrily spirtz it with the rose water. Plain water will work as well – important thing is to dampen the cotton. And last step just wipe away all the oily mess around my eyes with the damp cotton.  Voila – Clean makeup free eyes in under a minute.
