Things You Should Know

  • Moisten a cotton swab with a water-based makeup remover. Gently roll and dab the swab over the magnetic eyeliner to remove it.

Use a water-based makeup remover to remove the eyeliner.

  1. Wet a cotton swab with makeup remover and run it along your lash line. Water-based makeup removers, such as micellar water, break up magnetic eyeliner with ease and are gentle on the delicate skin around your eyes. Soak the tip of a cotton swab with the makeup remover and gently pat it into your eyeliner. Then, roll or twist the cotton swab over the eyeliner and watch as it disappears.[2]
    • If you have any leftover eyeliner, just grab a new cotton swab and gently dab over it across your lash line.
    • If your eyeliner is really stubborn, moisten a cotton swab with olive oil or castor oil and gently roll it across your lash line. Do not get the oil on the magnetic lashes, as it can damage the magnets.[3]
