The Painting of War (Part 4)- Down the Drain

I have said more than once that one of the toughest things I have ever done is to remove all my make up.
This includes tugging off the eyelashes and getting all of my waterproof gel eye-liner and mascara off my face.


Removing the War Paint is equally important to putting it on.  Please don't skip this step.
Obviously, you need a good face wash, make-up remover and moisturizer.

I'll get brand specific again, only because these products have worked wonders for me and don't leave me picking black goo out of the corners of my eyes in the morning.

Pond's Cold Cream-   After more than 150 years in business, it's a trusted brand for a reason...  It has not let me down, and gets 90% of the War Paint off in one shot...(Including RED lipstick)

Vaseline Petroleum Jelly- Another age old company.   It gets all the gunk off my eyes, out of my lashes and brows, including eyelash glue.
(I know that there are the old wives tales about it making wrinkles...  Pssh, I use it to remove and the follow with a wash)

Cetaphil Face Wash - I follow all of that washing with a clean wash cloth and Cetaphil... Which has got to be one of the gentlest washes.

Pat dry and follow with your moisturizer.

There is one more thing that I do use.   Because of wearing contacts and of course my lenses are out when doing all this rubbing and scrubbing..  I do tend to sometimes wind up with very irritated eyes post-show.
I use Bausch and Lomb Soothe Lubricant Eye Drops. 

So, that's it....  The Painting of War.
