Q.  I always seem to get mascara dots on my eyelids when applying my mascara. What is the best way to remove them without destroying my eye shadow? A.  Remove the mascara dots before they are completely dry. Use a cotton swab slightly moistened with water to remove non-waterproof mascara from your top lids. Lightly tap the dots with the swap to remove the mascara. For waterproof mascara dots, dip a cotton swab in non oily makeup remover so it is just moistened. You don't want the swab to be saturated and drippy. Then, lightly tap the dots to remove them.                                                                   Use the dry end of the cotton swab to blend your shadow.  Another great product for removing mascara dots is the e.l.f.

Q. Can I use olive oil to take my eye makeup off? A. Yes. Olive oil will gently and effectively remove eye makeup, even hard to remove waterproof mascara. Coconut oil is also good for makeup removal. There can be issues with using oil around the eyes, though. Your vision will be temporarily blurry if oil gets in your eyes and oils used around the eyes can cause the delicate skin on the eyelids to get puffy. You can help prevent eyelid puffiness by carefully removing the oil from your eyes.  I pour some olive oil into a small bottle and keep it in my bathroom so it's handy to use for makeup removal. Tips on using olive oil as eye makeup remover: 1. Apply olive oil to a cotton pad or tissue. 2. Hold the tissue or cotton pad on your closed eye for a couple minutes to allow the oil can to soften and dissolve your eye makeup. Gently wipe the oiled cotton pad or tissue back and forth to remove your eye makeup. 3. Use a gentle facial cleanser and a warm, wet washcloth...
