Oil based makeup removers

Using oil-based makeup removers will help break down the glitter safely and decrease the amount of abrasion which will come in contact with your sensitive eyelids.

Oil-based makeup removers also get rid of the dirt that may be embedded deep down in your skin and they will not irritate the skin or strip it down and cause any breakouts. Lastly, it will leave your eyelids super soft and glowing.
