QUESTION: As a musician I am often on stage wearing heavy makeup with kohl and glitter. When applying make-up, I have to rub around my eyes for a long time to get the make-up off, which I don't think is good for my skin.
When I try a lotion, something always gets in my eyes and I don't like it. what can I do? Which products are suitable for me?
ANSWER: “It's best to use an eye makeup remover for waterproof makeup because it contains oil. This oil ensures that the heavy make-up is released from the skin in a mild way.
Put a cotton pad soaked with remover on your eyes and let it act for a few seconds. Then gently wipe your eye from the outside inwards. This prevents make-up or remover from getting into your eyes.
If you still can't get the makeup off properly this way, you can also use special theater makeup use. It is easier to remove. Inquire about this at, for example, a make-up training course.”
