How to Choose the Right Eyelash Makeup Remover
First of all, to remove make-up from your eyelashes without damaging them, you need to choose the right make-up remover. Here are the features it must have:
- Kindness: the make-up remover should be gentle and not irritate the eyes, especially if you have sensitive skin or wear contact lenses. Avoid harsh, alcoholic, or overly fragrant makeup removers, which can hurt your eyes and dry out your lashes!
- Effectiveness: the make-up remover must be effective and remove make-up well, without having to rub or insist too much. This way, you’ll avoid damaging your lashes or letting them fall out.
- The ingredients: the make-up remover must be formulated with good ingredients that respect your skin, gentle and moisturizing.
At BeOnMe we have formulated a line of natural cosmetics, ideal for gentle cleansing, formulated with certified organic ingredients, such as extracts and floral waters, which cleanse, moisturize and soothe the skin, respecting its natural balance ๐
In addition, BeOnMe’s cleansing products are vegan, and tested in vitro against eye irritation.
Read on to find out what they are and how to take care of your lashes! ๐
1. How to remove makeup from natural eyelashes
The first step to removing makeup from your eyelashes without damaging them is to prepare your lashes for makeup removal.
How to do it? Just use BeOnMe’s Organic Cornflower Micellar Water, the perfect panacea for a gentle but effective cleansing that doesn’t ruin your lashes! ๐
BeOnMe’s Natural Micellar Water captures dirt and make-up without attacking the skin, and is enriched with organic cornflower floral water, which has calming, decongestant and moisturizing properties, ideal for the delicate eye area.
In addition, it contains vegetable glycerin, which moisturizes and softens the skin ๐ and contains neither alcohol nor fragrance!
How to apply make-up remover to your eyelashes
To remove make-up from your real eyelashes without damaging them, it is important to apply make-up remover with soft make-up remover pads.
We recommend BeOnMe’s washable bamboo make-up remover pads, reusable and eco-friendly which, together with organic Micellar Water, make make-up removal a gentle, quick and environmentally friendly gesture.
๐ฑ BeOnMe’s washable bamboo fiber pads are soft, absorbent, ideal for removing makeup naturally and gently.
Follow these simple steps:
- Shake the bottle well and apply the product to a washable bamboo make-up remover pad.
- Gently sweep the pad over the eye area, without rubbing or pulling on the skin, using the soft velvet side for a gentler action, or the terry cloth side for a slightly firmer effect.
- Repeat until your skin is clean.
2. How to double cleanse your eyelashes
The second step is double cleansing: this is a technique that consists of repeating cleansing with two different products, the first, micellar water, to dissolve make-up; the second, a Organic Cleansing Mousse, to cleanse the skin and rinse away both make-up remover residues and impurity residues.
It is used to ensure perfect cleansing and leave the skin really clean.
๐ฆ So, to double cleanse your eyelashes, after using micellar water, we recommend applying the Organic Aloe Cleansing Mousse. It is a very gentle cleansing foam, like a cloud, which cleanses the skin deeply, without drying it out or irritating it. It contains organic aloe, which has moisturizing, soothing and regenerating properties, and oat oil, with an antioxidant action.
This natural facial cleanser contains no fragrance and is therefore suitable for even the most sensitive skin. It doesn’t burn the eyes, it doesn’t redden and dry out the skin and, consequently, it doesn’t dry out the eyelashes either, on the contrary it leaves them soft and hydrated!
Remember, when removing make-up and rinsing your lashes, to always use lukewarm water, because excessive heat can cause dryness to the skin around the eyes, including the lash follicles, making them brittle.
If you want to make your cleansing routine even more complete and natural, you can try the BeOnMe Double Cleansing Set.
This kit contains the Organic Cornflower Micellar Water, the Organic Aloe Cleansing Mousse, the reusable make-up remover pads made of bamboo fiber with a practical organic cotton bag, and also the sweet heart-shaped konjac exfoliating sponge, which will help you better massage the mousse on your face!
It’s the perfect gift for yourself or someone special!
3. How to care for your eyelashes after removing makeup
The third and final step to removing makeup from your eyelashes without damaging them is to take care of them after removing your makeup. How to do it? Follow these tips.
How to dry your eyelashes
At the end of cleansing, after rinsing your face, do not rub your lashes to dry them, but gently pat them dry with a soft face towel such as the BeOnMe washcloth.
Keeping your lashes safe is essential to prevent them from weakening and breaking. A small precaution that will make all the difference!
The BeOnMe washcloth is a face towel, 100% cotton that dries the skin gently and naturally, without leaving lint or irritating.
This soft cloth is machine washable and reusable, an eco-friendly and convenient choice! ๐

How to moisturize and nourish your lashes
If you want to take care of your eyelashes after cleansing, to keep them hydrated and strong, we do not recommend the usual natural remedies, those made by yourself based on castor or jojoba oil, because often when these ingredients, if used pure on the skin, they can irritate and redden.
โจ Instead, apply the Eye Lift Serum as an overnight treatment to the eyelids, massaging it gently, with clean fingers, also on the eye contour and eyelashes.
Keep your eyes closed to avoid putting it in your eyes! It will turn out to be a dreamy lash treatment and an extra moisturizing pampering!
Eye Lift Serum is BeOnMe’s organic and anti-aging eye contour serum, which moisturizes, nourishes and smoothes the skin, fighting the signs of aging and fatigue. In addition to moisturizing, softening and thus strengthening the lashes, it is fantastic for the eye area, because:
- It contains hyaluronic acid, an anti-aging ingredient that moisturizes and gives elasticity;
- vine sap prebiotic that nourishes and balances the skin’s microbiome;
- it also has a lifting effect thanks to a natural anti-aging technology that reduces the visibility of wrinkles and signs of fatigue;
- In addition, it contains 9 natural active ingredients that give freshness and radiance to the eyes. The product is fragrance-free and tested on sensitive skin.
How to avoid ruining your eyelashes
Do you want to have long, thick and strong eyelashes? Here are some general tips to prevent damage and not end up with damaged lashes. Sometimes, small things can be the best remedies for your lashes!
- Avoid using fake lashes, as they can weaken your natural lashes and cause allergies. If you really can’t do without them, do some research on the different kinds of fake lashes and choose the best ones.
- Eventually, it is better to choose single or tufted false eyelashes, because they are lighter and usually less is used. It is better to short, which weigh less.
- You can evaluate magnetic eyelashes, which do not need glue or solvents. Try to choose them short, because even in this case the weight could stress the eyelid, which is very delicate, and consequently also strain the eye contour and affect the well-being of the eyelashes.
- In general, to choose false eyelashes, pay close attention to the quality of the product and glue.
- Carefully follow the instructions on how to apply false eyelashes and be careful to remove them very gently so as not to damage your natural lashes.
- If, on the other hand, you prefer eyelash extensions, i.e. single false eyelashes that are applied semi-permanently, find out about the different types of product and do a search among the best centers in your city that offer the service of applying extensions.
- If you have opted for a stronger treatment, such as eyelash lamination, remember to choose a specialized beauty center, which uses quality products, according to European regulations.
- After the treatment, we recommend applying Eye Lift Serum to the eye area (not the lashes) to relieve the skin and moisturize it.
- Remember not to wet or apply make-up to your lashes for the first 24 hours after the lamination treatment, as it can compromise the result and durability.
- As an alternative to using false eyelashes and lamination, play with a lengthening and volumizing mascara and lengthen the eye with eyeliner. To make your lashes look thicker, lightly run a pencil all the way down your lash line.
- Choose a quality mascara, preferably enriched with moisturizing and nourishing ingredients
- Clean your eyelash curler, which can build up bacteria and makeup residue, and disinfect it regularly
By following these tips, you can keep your lashes healthy, beautiful and strong, and enhance your eyes in a natural way.
