In fact, I found one!<\/h3>\n<p>My ultra favorite remover is Sonia Kashuk &#8220;Remove&#8221; Eye Makeup Remover ($9.99). It&#8217;s one of the most effective waterproof mascara remover I&#8217;ve come across in a long time and I&#8217;ve tried a lot. It&#8217;s gentle and can easily remove all traces of the waterproof mascara with ease. It&#8217;s perfect for people with sensitive skin too!<\/p>\n<p><em>Where: Target stores and Target.com<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Here&#8217;s what you&#8217;ll need to remove waterproof mascara:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>cotton balls<\/li>\n<li>waterproof eye makeup remover<\/li>\n<li>cotton swabs (qtips)<\/li>\n<li>a towel<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Step #1<\/h4>\n<p>Grab a cotton ball and saturate it with the eye makeup remover.<\/p>\n<h4>Step #2<\/h4>\n<p>Close your eyes and place the cotton ball underneath your lashes and hold it there for 10 to 15 seconds (this will help soften the mascara).<\/p>\n<h4>Step #3<\/h4>\n<p>Slowly move the cotton ball upward to remove the waterproof mascara from your lashes. Repeat until you&#8217;ve cleaned every lash.<\/p>\n<h4>Step #4<\/h4>\n<p>Grab a cotton swab and dip it in the waterproof eye makeup remover.<\/p>\n<h4>Step #5<\/h4>\n<p>Use the swab to remove any traces of mascara left over. Stroke downward and slowly roll the swab around to use every inch of it. MAKE SURE TO NOT RUB!<\/p>\n<h4>Step #6<\/h4>\n<p>Rinse eyes with lukewarm water and grab a face towel to pat dry.<\/p>\n<p>Like I said earlier, trying to remove mascara especially when it&#8217;s waterproof is a process but, totally worth it in the end!<\/p>\n<h4>Do you have a favorite waterproof mascara remover?
