Style : LOOKS : Taking It Off

Coming clean without getting burned is the name of the game when contact-lens wearers, the allergy-prone and other sensitive souls wash up. The best eye-makeup removers work without stinging and without leaving greasy residues. Clinique’s Extremely Gentle Eye Makeup Remover, a creamy lotion, and Revlon’s Special Eyes Micropure Makeup Remover, a clear gel, are among the tried-and-true. Equally easy on the eyes are L’Oreal’s Plenitude Eye Makeup Remover, a non-oily liquid that allows you to reapply makeup immediately after use, and Lancome’s Bi-Facil, whose emollients lift off even waterproof makeup. Kelemata’s Eye Makeup Remover Lotion, also available in saturated pads, contains orange flower and chamomile extracts to refresh tired eyes while keeping the ouch factor in check.
