For me it wasn’t ever the whole putting the make up on thing that irritated me, it was the taking it off part. Even the best cleansers designed for eye make up removal wouldn’t remove it all and the solutions made for removal burned my eyes.
I got the idea of using Burts Bees baby shampoo for eye make up removal after reading that using it on your eyes prevents styes which is just basically an eye infection caused by many things like improper make up removal, that I like to keep at bay. Just a little on a damp cotton pad takes everything away, leaves your lashes moisturized and will never burn or sting.
