Default Removing makeup

I didn't know if there was a thread for this topic, but I'm feeling a little lazy today to look for it. What is the best way to remove grease makeup?

I was taught to use baby oil. I've found that cheap baby shampoo also works pretty well. Usually, I use a little bit of both.

I always found the nose adhesive to be the most difficult to remove, but since I started using putty, I don't have that problem.

We use a nonexpensive cooking oil and then wash with a liquid soap, The make up comes off very easy.

Get yourself a bottle of Hydro and never turn back.

What is Hydro? How is it better than the afore-mentioned products? Can one purchase it from any clown make-up vendors?

Default Make-up

I usually will take most of the make-up off using baby wipes, then use make up remover to take the rest off. It is really easy and works great!

I don't like using oil either. Suave use to make a water wash off cold cream. A bunch of us wrote them when they stopped but no luck. I use an expesive remover when i am on the go. It is by bourgesse. I hope I spelled that right. But it wipes off clean and I don't need water. Sometimes I am changing in a closet or whatever and need to be fast. It is expensive but it does last forever.

So is this Hydro a water based product?
