Since the mascara is waterproof, use the opposite of water- oil. The oil will break down the mascara and will be gentle on your lashes. Please don’t use baby oil as it is a byproduct of petroleum which is harmful for your eyes.

Steps to follow-

• Saturate a cotton pad in oil.
• Place the cotton pad underneath your lashes and press it gently so that the underside of your lashes are pressed against the pad.
• Swipe the pad until the mascara comes off.
• Wash off with a gentle cleanser
