Applying elaborate Halloween makeup is half the fun of dressing up, but it can be downright horrific to remove. If Halloween makeup removal gives you nightmares, Eminence Organics is here to help. Here’s our no-fuss guide to removing even the most stubborn Halloween makeup so you don’t look quite so spooky in the morning.

STEP 1: DOUBLE CLEANSE TO LOOSEN MAKEUP & DEEP-CLEAN YOUR FACE

According to Glamour, “Most Halloween makeup is designed to last longer, which means it contains various oils, waxes, pigments, or silicones that regular face wash can't dissolve.” The most effective way to remove oil-based makeup is with - you guessed it - oil. We recommend adding a double cleanse to your post-Halloween skin care routine. Apply Eminence Organics Stone Crop Cleansing Oil to loosen heavy makeup, then follow up with your favorite Eminence Organics cleanser to achieve an even deeper clean.

STEP 2: GENTLY ERASE EYE MAKEUP

It’s always best to treat your delicate eye area with absolute care. To remove your Halloween eye makeup, saturate a cotton pad with Eminence Organics Herbal Eye Makeup Remover - which uses comfrey as a lubricating agent - and hold it on your eyes for five seconds before gently wiping it away. Glamour says: “Holding [the cotton pad] down is important because it gives the remover time to break down the makeup particles,” allowing for gentler removal of stubborn false eyelash glue and deeply pigmented eyeshadows.

STEP 3: SAY GOODBYE TO STRAY GLITTER

Glitter has a tendency to stick around, latching onto anything and everything. Makeup artist Troy Surratt gives Allure an expert tip: “To get [glitter] off your face and body, take a small piece of Scotch tape rolled on your finger and gently tap it over any glittery areas."

STEP 4: TREAT YOUR SKIN TO AN EMINENCE ORGANICS face MASK

Once your skin is makeup and glitter free, give it some extra TLC with your favorite Eminence Organics face mask. Our masks and treatments are infused with concentrated amounts of vitamins and nutrients to moisturize, calm and nurture your skin’s appearance.

STEP 5: APPLY YOUR FAVORITE EMINENCE ORGANICS MOISTURIZER

It’s time to move on to the final step in your Halloween skin care routine: moisturizer. Harsh Halloween makeup can leave your skin feeling less than healthy. To replenish your skin’s moisture and minimize the appearance of redness and irritation, apply Eminence Organics Calm Skin Chamomile Moisturizer. Find it at your favorite Eminence Organics spa.
