My mom just gave me one that works really well. It is oil based and doesn't irritate my eyes either. I think it is Mary Kay. I love it though. Just remember to shake it up before u open it...oops...

The kind of mascara makes all the difference in the world -- is is water soluble mascara or water-proof mascara?
Water-proof mascara is very harsh on the eyes and really should only be used when it's absolutely necessary.
I use regular mascara and it is easily removed by my cleanser (I used Paula's Choice cleanser for oily/normal skin). I simply splash water on my face and then the cleanser, and the mascara washes right off!
A good test for your facial cleanser is how well it removes eye make-up (except for water-proof mascara). You really shouldn't require a separate eye make-up remover. If you do, then your facial cleanser isn't as effective as it should be.

The blue Clinique eye makeup remover is good (I do not like the purple variety at all- very oily and it tends to irritate my eyes). However, I recently read that Rimmel's remover worked great, so I tried it, and it works really well. It's only $3.97 or something at Wal-Mart, and it takes off my makeup just as well as the Clinique did (for a small fraction of the price)! Rimmel has some good stuff for cheap- I tried their pressed powder as well, which didn't clog my pores one bit and felt very light and breathable.
The best thing I've found to remove makeup is Albolene. Then again, I don't wear too much makeup, so I haven't shopped around much.
We used to use Albolene in HS theatre. It was the best thing to take off a white clown-like foundation base.
I think it is Mineral Oil based? It doesn't make me tear though, and I have sensitive eyes. Works great!
It is kind of expensive. I think it's like $15.00 a tub? But that tub will last you forever. And I do mean FOREVER. I think my grandchildren will someday see the tub of Albolene I have now in my bathroom.

Mary Kay's Oil Free Eye Makeup Remover I swear by! It takes off everything, even oil paint! (don't ask) It's even safe if you forget to take out your contacts. An added plus, you can apply makeup right over after you use it. So if you smudge one eye, you don't haveto start over completely! Ky
Clinique also makes a really good eye makeup remover. It's in a lotion-like form, just swipe it over your eyes. I tried some of my friend's and I loved it, been using it ever since!
I wear a lot of eyemakeup and I really like the Body Shop's Chamomile remover in the cream form but I am always looking for something new that is not irritating. What does everyone here use for eye makeup removal w/out tears?
