Experiment with different makeup removers

I will show you the effectiveness of a few different types of commercial makeup removers and their effectiveness in removing waterproof makeup. The makeup used is Skin79 Hot Pink BB cream. My face is not show due to the lack of contrast effect picked up by the camera

Dry Cotton Pad
Removes some of the BB cream
Some residues left on face
BB cream adsorbed onto the surface of the cotton pad, doesn't penetrate











Cotton Pad wet with Water
Only small amounts of BB cream absorbed by cotton pad since it's waterproof
Most of the BB cream still remain on face even when my face is covered with sweat or water droplets










Cotton Pad wet with Cleansing Express Cleansing Lotion (Sebum)
BB cream gets dissolved and soaked though the cotton pad
Most of the BB cream removed
Drops of milky residue still left on face











Cotton pad wet with the Purenavi Makeup Cleansing Oil
Most of the BB cream is absorbed into the cotton pad
Small traces of BB cream left on face
Some cotton fibres sticks onto my face giving a fluffing effect on the cotton pad










Cotton Pad wet with Biore Cleansing Oil
Probably the most effective makeup cleanser, slightly better then the Purenavi Oil
Most of the BB cream is absorbed into the cotton pad
Small traces of BB cream left on face
Cotton fibres sticks onto my face giving a fluffing effect on the cotton pad
