How Do You Remove Estée Lauder Double Wear Mascara?

Double Wear Zero-Smudge Lengthening Mascara is designed to stay put, so removal needs a little patience. Here is what the brand recommends.

The brand’s advice

The Estée Lauder product page says warm water and cleanser unlock the formula and remove every trace. It also suggests the brand’s Take It Away Makeup Remover.

Gentle steps

• Hold a warm, damp pad over closed eyes for a few seconds.
• Wipe gently downwards without rubbing or tugging.
• Rinse with a cleanser and warm water, then pat dry.

Hygiene reminder

The American Academy of Dermatology advises removing all makeup, including eye makeup, before bed. The FDA notes that some experts recommend replacing mascara three months after purchase and says not to add water or saliva to dried mascara.

Stop using the product and see a doctor if your eyes become irritated or infected.
