Collection: Makeup Removers

Make-up removers help lift foundation, eye make-up, lip colour and other cosmetic residue before the next cleansing and skincare steps. The Glamu Makeup Removers collection brings together several textures and formats for at-home use, making it easier to choose a formula according to the make-up you wear, the area you want to cleanse and the skin feel you prefer.

Explore lightweight micellar eye make-up removers, biphasic formulas for the face and eyes, cleansing oils, creamy make-up removing milks and dedicated products for eye or lip make-up. Oil-based and biphasic removers can suit certain long-wearing or oil-soluble formulas, while cleansing milks offer a creamier application. Dedicated eye and lip products are designed for more focused use on these delicate areas when their labels indicate suitability.

When choosing a make-up remover, consider whether you need to remove everyday face make-up, persistent eye products, lip colour or several types at once. Check whether the formula needs to be shaken, applied to dry or damp skin, used with a pad or rinsed away. Around the eyes, avoid unnecessary rubbing and use only products specifically labelled for that area. Contact-lens wearers and customers with sensitive-feeling skin should review the individual instructions and ingredient list carefully.

Make-up removal is often the first part of an evening cleansing routine. After dissolving and lifting cosmetic residue, follow with a suitable facial cleanser when recommended, then continue with toner, serum and moisturiser according to your preferences. Use clean hands and pads, introduce unfamiliar formulas gradually and always follow the product label for application time, amount and rinsing directions.

Questions & Answers

What is the difference between make-up remover and micellar water?

Make-up remover is a broad category that includes micellar water, oils, cleansing milks and biphasic formulas. Micellar water is one type of make-up remover: it has a lightweight water-like texture and uses micelles to help lift make-up and residue. Other removers may contain more oil or have a creamier texture, which can make them better suited to certain long-wearing products. Always choose according to the make-up area and the individual label.

Which make-up remover is best for eye and lip make-up?

Choose a product specifically labelled for the eyes, lips or both. Biphasic, oil-based and dedicated eye or lip removers can suit different formulas, but suitability depends on the individual product and the make-up you wear.

Should I wash my face after using make-up remover?

This depends on the product directions. Many customers follow make-up removal with a facial cleanser to remove remaining residue, while some formulas have different instructions. Check the label to see whether rinsing or a second cleanse is recommended.

How do I use a biphasic make-up remover?

Biphasic products contain two layers that usually need to be mixed by shaking before use. Apply according to the label, allow the formula time to loosen make-up and wipe gently without excessive rubbing.

Can I use the same make-up remover every day?

Many make-up removers are intended for regular use, but suitability depends on the formula, application area and your skin. Follow the label and adjust your routine if the skin or eye area feels uncomfortable.
