Thread: How the $#@!*% do you take this stuff off?!

Oh, I love elljay's suggestion: just psych it out! Eyeliner's dumb -- I'm sure you can fool it.

Hahaaa, Elijay and Zana...

This LiquidLast is smart stuff. It will stick around with the cockroaches when all the humans are gone.

Gonna have some shiny, jewel-toned cockroaches, mmm hmmm.
Gonna be some MAC-fancy cockroach low-riders, mmm hmmm.

Someone please tell me to get back to work.

I use this eyeliner too and love it! especially when you have that little curvy tail at the outer edge of your eye...sometimes my eyes tear but this eyeliner won't come off!

The Best makeup remover is "Almay Moisturizing Pads or liquid" It's the oily one. There are two Almay makeup removers, but be sure to get the "Moisturizing"

I also use waterproof mascara and this Almay remover is great for that too

I've tried alot of makeup removers and a friend told me about this one....I think it's the very best!

Hm. The most obvious solution to me would be: aks the people at the MAC counter what they recommend!

Gonna go completely old-school and chemical laden, but I second the Ponds Cold Cream recommendation. I'd venture to say it works better than even some of the products I've tried from high-end lines. I know it removes MAC Fluidline with the greatest of ease, so it probably could take care of the Liquidlast too. Even removes eyelash glue.

And yes, it totally has a nostalgic smell for me. I think because it reminds me of Halloween as a child, when my mom would slather the stuff all over my face to remove whatever gunky face paints I was wearing.

Exactement, c'est ça! I actually used what MAC had and then asked them (b/c what I used of MAC's didn't remove it) and they recommended the same thing.

I am string to think that this liner might be the right solution to paint the peelings beads that I have on one of my pharaonics.

Have you tried steaming it off? Like wetting a wash cloth with REALLY hot water, wring it out, and then put it over your eyes and let it sit. Maybe it would loosen it up enough for all the other ideas to work?

,r:; Or maybe just find your most expensive dry clean only costume and rub your face on it, afterall doesn't "stay on forever makeup" only stay on til its near the expensive stuff you DON'T want it on?..c:: ..l;,

aHA! That would be similar to outsmarting it. ..l;,

sorry for late reply:
the best thing i've found for removing it is the mac makeup remover wipes.

don't know what's in them, but they will remove anything without tons of scrubbing. i swear by them for removing waterproof mac anything after a show.
...and paint from a car :P

If everything else fails:
I recommend japanese or korean cleansing oil!

I use Kose Softymo Deep Cleansing Oil(can be found at asian supermarkets,or ebay)but most cleansing oils work the same.

Here is two popular(and expensive) choices:
DHC FOR BEAUTY AND HEALTH: Skincare

shu uemura | CLEANSING BEAUTY OIL PREMIUM A/O

Here are the one I love:
KOSE Softymo Speedy CLEANSING OIL 230ml+60ml - fr JAPAN - eBay (item 200194768591 end time Jun-21-08 20:00:44 PDT)

It dissolves all makeup,and washes away with water.

Honestly, most of those cleansing oils are just olive oil in a fancy bottle.

Azhia, because of your post I went out and bought liquid last and I love it!
:-) Always looking for makeup with serious staying power. Thanks!
Oh, I just use the MAC makeup remover...the pink one? Comes off without too much of a fight. They did say I needed to use the blue (oily) one to get it off but the pink worked just fine. There is oil in the pink too. Maybe the blue has more?

Or mineral oil.

The difference is;I can´t buy olive oil in a fancy bottle with an emulgating agent added-anywhere I know of.

Water-soluable oil makes all the difference in the world of un-masking for me.
