Why it's best: Mary Kay’s Oil-Free Eye Make-Up has been proclaimed one of the best make-up removers presently on the market. It removes make-up quickly, is oil-free and is safe for contacts and sensitive eyes. It is hypoallergenic, inexpensive for such high quality and leaves no residue. This product comes in a plastic, unbreakable bottle that has a spill-proof top so when it gets dropped, it doesn’t break. It doesn’t leave the skin feeling oily or dry and doesn’t irritate the eyes or leave a greasy feeling. This eye make-up remover works quickly and easily, even on waterproof make-up. It removes any eye make-up so easily and gently while removing all old mascara residue in order to prevent clumping while simultaneously conditioning the eyelashes. It gets any tough mascara or eyeliner smudges without having to scrub the skin. Not only is it safe for all eyes and skin-types, but it has hydrating and moisturizing ingredients that work as a dual action make-up remover and cleanser. The product works best when applied with cotton, otherwise the product can sometimes leave residue. Since the product is oil-free, it is great for contact users as it won’t film up contacts. There is no fragrance so it can be used on all types of skin, including sensitive skin. See more reviews, photos, prices, and specs
Why it's a best pick: Neutrogena Make-Up Remover Cleansing Towelettes are arguably the best overall make-up removing cloths on the market. The ultra soft cloths work to remove dirt and oil in addition to make-up while simultaneously leaving skin clean and without residue. They come in a resealable case of 25 cloths that fully and effectively remove all traces of make-up. The resealable packs are nice, as they keep the towelettes moist and fresh and are perfect for traveling. The only problem I found was that the flap on the top tends to curl up after some time and stops sticking, allowing air to get in and dry up the cloths. But either storing the case or moistening the cloths a bit before use easily solves this problem. The towelettes remove make-up thoroughly and require no rinsing afterward. Skin is left feeling clean and moisturized, without any dryness or irritation. Since the cloths are pre-moistened, they require no water and can remove all types of make-up including waterproof mascara and blush gently and quickly, leaving skin feeling happy and soft. It’s quick, low-maintenance and gets the job done effectively. See more reviews, photos, prices, and specs
Why it's a best pick: Very Sexy Total Make-Up Remover, distinct due to its unique fragrance, not only removes all traces of make-up but also leaves skin smelling and feeling great. It quickly removes all types of make-up, including waterproof mascara, foundation, concealer and lipstick, without the burden of harsh scrubbing, rubbing or pulling around the eyes or face. The bottle is large and is well worth the $10 cost. For those who like spot precision when removing make-up, Very Sexy Total Make-Up Remover is the ideal product because it is great for not only removing make-up from the whole face, but also for touching up little mistakes. It removes all traces of dirt and make-up without any stinging or burning. Although there is oil in this product, it leaves no oily residue. The skin is left feeling and smelling delicate, and the removes leaves a pretty subtle shine to the skin after use. However, because of the oil, the bottle will need to be shaken up before use in order to insure that all the ingredients are harmoniously blended together. The cleanser, when combined with the oil, effectively removes make-up while also cleaning and moisturizing the skin. There is a wonderful cooling sensation without the cloudiness and irritation of most make-up removers. See more reviews, photos, prices, and specs
Why it's a best pick: FACE Make-up Wipes by Sephora are soft, gentle and clean the skin without leaving a sticky or oily residue. The cloths are heavily fragranced, so if you have disinclination towards strong scented products, you may want to try before you buy. But overall, I find the product to have a nice scent, and it is worth putting up with the fragrance for a good product at a great price. The cloths are large, thick and moist enough to remove a full face of make-up without leaving behind a greasy feeling. They are extremely gentle and get the job done in no time. Not only does it remove make-up well, but it comes in convenient packaging good for travel and transit. FACE make-up wipes do a great job of removing all makeup, including eye make-up, without any irritation. They are not oily or drying, and the skin feels softer and clearer after use. These cloths, unlike most make-up removal wipes, do not dry up if left outside the packaging. They stay moist and soft, and always exfoliate the skin. The package is somewhat difficult to open, but since the cloths do not dry out, this is a minor issue. See more reviews, photos, prices, and specs
