I have had to come to terms with something life-changing recently. I’ve discovered I am unable to remove mascara properly. Things have been tough (I’ve never been wrong before). If you too are dealing with this ‘issue’, please accept my advice.
Here is what you need-to-know about taking off eye makeup:
Materials
- Two cotton rounds
- 9 cotton wool buds
- A nourishing eye makeup remover
- An eye contour balm
Method
1. Get a cotton round.
2. Hold three cotton buds level and place them onto the middle of the cotton round, firmly.
3. Apply remover to buds and onto the middle of the cotton round, simultaneously.
4. Remove buds. Fold the cotton round in half and place under bottom eyelashes.
5. Close eye and use buds to gently slough off mascara over the entire eye.
6. Repeat the process with clean buds, until the mascara is all gone.
7. Deal with the fact that you have been doing it wrong all your life.
