Take it all off!
One of the most important things about dressing up and looking good is…
taking off all that makeup at the end of the night. For one thing, you don’t want to leave a Shroud of Tammy Fay Baker image on the pillow case in the morning. And leaving makeup on for long periods of time can be damaging to your skin. And, if you’re closeted, like me, you don’t want people asking why you are wearing mascara, when you go to work.
My method for taking off makeup is pretty simple. But it works, and it works well, especially considering how much I wear.
Step one: take some toliet paper, and wipe off as much as you can. This will take off a lot of your foundation, blush, lipstick and eye shadow. Don’t try to get it all, as you’ll just irritate your skin.
Step two: Noxema. Lather your face up with cold cream, and if possible, shower. This will take off a lot of what’s left, without the irritation.
Step three: Do the detail work with a makeup removal moist towelette. I use the ones from Ponds, but just about any will do the job. These will help get that eyeliner off, and help anything else you may have missed.
Step four: Give yourself a bit more cold cream, but rub it in. Don’t wash it off. This helps me keep down any kind of pimple outbreak for the morning.
This is what works for me. What works for you?
