Almond Oil

• One convenient home remedy for eye makeup removal involves almond oil. Simply dab a small amount of the oil onto a cotton swab. Then use the swab to gently remove makeup from your eyes. The almond oil technique can be especially useful for mascara removal. Substitute with sesame oil if necessary.
  
  

Petroleum Jelly

• Petroleum jelly can also make an efficient eye makeup remover, as its oils can be useful for dissolving cosmetics. Put a modest amount of petroleum jelly on tissue paper or a cotton ball and gently dab your eye area. The jelly, although very hydrating for the skin, can have a very greasy and thick feel, so be sure to wash it off thoroughly afterward.
  
  

Canola, Castor and Olive Oil

• Canola, castor and olive oil mixed together can produce a homemade eye makeup remover. Mix 3 tbsp. of each oil into one cup. Immerse a cotton ball into the blend. Pat the area surrounding your eyes with the cotton ball to absorb your makeup, whether it is eyeshadow, mascara or eyeliner. Finally, rinse off your face.
  
  

Raw Milk

• Raw milk is another home technique for taking off eye makeup. This type of milk has not undergone any homogenization or pasteurization processing. Cover a cotton ball with a liberal amount of raw milk, and then gently pat down your eye area with it. Afterward, wash all of the milk off.
  
  

Jojoba Oil and Water

• Jojoba oil combined with water also can work for taking eye makeup off. Mix 1 tbsp. jojoba oil with 2 tbsp. water. Apart from removing your eye makeup, fast-absorbing and botanical jojoba oil also can deeply hydrate the skin.
