How To Remove Halloween Makeup the Right Way

Creating a killer makeup look for Halloween doesn’t have to be scary—check out three easy options here—but what can be frightening? The day-after havoc that heavy makeup, glitter, and face paint can wreak on your skin.
But never fear! Follow the four steps to removing intense makeup the right way below, and you can Halloween to your heart’s content without waking up to skin that was scarier than your costume the night before.

Start with makeup wipes

To start the removal process, grab a pack of our Cosmetic Wipes—use these to remove the majority of the product on your face. They won’t completely clear away all of your makeup, but they will break down the tough layers and make everything left easier to wash off.

Utilize makeup remover

If you have a significant amount of product left on your face after using a few wipes, apply our Gentle Eye Makeup Remover to a cotton ball and clear away the remainder.

Do a deep cleanse

Apply your favorite cleanser (try our Balancing Cleanser) using dry hands and massage it into your skin. Let it sit on your face for 60 seconds or so, and then rinse it off with warm water. Repeat and cleanse again with a gentle exfoliator—like our Gentle Exfoliator—if necessary.

Heal, hydrate, and rest

Swipe our Balancing Tonic over your skin to remove impurities, apply your regular serum (try our protective and rejuvenating Advanced Polypeptides Searum), moisturize with our hydrating Balancing Moisturizer, and finish with a good night’s sleep so your skin can recharge.
