You look smashing. But that sweeping catwoman eyeliner and tough-out-the-rain mascara does need to come off eventually. We’re here to help with some of our favorite budget eye-makeup removers—including one that just might surprise you.

 

Almay Eye Make-up Remover Pads

 

 

These pads smoothly sweep away eyeliner, shadow, and mascara quickly and completely. Hypoallergenic and fragrance-free, a blend natural extracts leaves eyelids feeling soft and hydrated with no irritation.

 

Clean and Clear Facial Cleansing Wipes

 

 

Clean and Clear Facial Cleansing Wipes are Good Housekeeping's pick for cleaning up the mascara and liner residue that hides out on your lids without making your lids feel greasy. Plus, they smell good. 

 

Neutrogena Hydrating Eye Makeup Remover Lotion

 

 

Neutrogena boasts a line of solid products and Neutrogena Hydrating Eye Makeup Remover Lotion is no different. Removes stubborn waterproof mascara with a blend of cucumber that alleviates puffiness and aloe to smooth out lines.

 

Clinique Rinse Off Eye Makeup Solvent

 

 

Sweeping off shadow without tugging on the sensitive bits of your eye, Clinique Rinse-Off Eye Makeup Solvent is nourishing for lids and lips. (Yes, you can use it to flick off that doesn't-want-to-budge lip color.) 

 

Olive Oil (Yep)

 

 

If you’re a big fan of organic—or just in a pinch—put a few drops of olive oil on a cotton ball and dab onto your eyelids. It removes shadow and mascara like a champ, and acts as an under eye moisturizer in the process.
