I used Neutrogena Eye Makeup Remover for YEARS, which actually worked really well.

But then I discovered Kiehl's Supremely Gentle Eye Makeup Remover, $16.50, which works even better!

Once I remove my eye makeup, I cleanse with Neutrogena Oil-Free Makeup Removing Cleanser.

Needless to say, I don't have ANY makeup residue left after I'm done ;)

Normally I will use eye makeup remover cloths like the CVS Cleansing & Make-Up Remover Towelettes (they're cheap and work pretty well for removing light makeup) and then I will wash my face with a cleanser.

I've found that if I am wearing heavy eye makeup from a night out or A LOT of mascara, the toweletes don't normally do the trick. For this issue, I recommend putting a little bit of vaseline on a cotton swab and rubbing it on your eyes to remove excess makeup. (You can also do this if you find yourself without any type of makeup remove and NEED to get it off!) Another one of my favorite makeup removers is the Lancome Bi-Facil Double Action Eye Makeup Remover. Sounds intense - I know, but trust me IT WORKS! I believe it's about $26 from Macys/Bloomingdales. 

This is my favorite makeup remover for eyes and lips. It never irritates my skin and it's easy to use. That's the first step- removing eye and lip makeup.

Then I use this cleansing milk to remove the face makup.

Finally, I wash my face wit this liquid facial soap. You always want to take your makup off first, and then wash your face. I hope that helped :)

Thanks for the tips and pictures.  I've discovered that cheap, old-fashioned baby oil works reallly well for really hard to remove waterproof or "all day wear" types of products, like waterproof mascara ,or all day lipcolors that really last but are hard to remove!  Since the baby oil is greasy, I do wash off that residue with a cleanser.

I highly recommend Jojoba oil to remove my make up at night, then I just a foamy gel cleanser.  I'm a big fan of the brand Desert Essence (for both the jojoba oil and the foamy cleanser).  I pick them up both at Trader Joe's.

I use Omorovicza Thermal Cleansing Balm.  Removes anything you have on, including waterproof mascara.  You just wipe it with warm cloth and you're done.

i love maybelline new york expert eyes makeup remover. then i use netrogena pink grapefruit face wash, and then if i have any zits i willl use clean and clear advantage mark treatment.

On days I take a shower I use a Clean and Clear cleanser first in the shower, i'm not sure what the name is but its minty.   Then I'll use makeup remover for any eye makeup and under eye concealer.  After that I rinse my face. 

On days I dont take a shower I remove my eye makeup and under eye concealer with makeup remover and take my face makeup off with an astringent from Mario Badescu.  Then sometimes i'll use the Clean and Clear cleanser after but most of the time i'll just rinse my face.
