I agree with the oil thing... I prefer coconut oil but olive or grapeseed oil works too. No point wasting all that money on make up remover when you have the perfect one sitting in your kitchen!

@LeeAnn B. My boyfriend got shocked and it did hurt him but it wasn't absolutely horrible, but he said he could feel it all over his spine. He said he saw a girl knock down because she got shocked. Just be prepared and train :)

@Anegla C. That's an awesome idea! I am going to try this!

@ Jasmine J. My fiance and I are both training for tough mudder! I know its going to be brutal just by the training but luckily for us we like challenges! My only concern is the shock therapy obstacle, other than that I think ( at least hope lol) I can handle it! I have been bringing the wipes with me in my bag and just using them and washing my face with cleanser before I workout it has helped me a LOT!

I keep a package of makeup wipes by the bed, just in case. I like the Biore ones for actually getting my makeup off, but then I also keep the Philosophy ones around for after - for those "I know I need to also wash my face, but I just can't drag my butt all the way to the bathroom to deal with it right now" nights.

You're training for tough mudder?! Good for you! My boyfriend did tough mudder last year and he said it was BRUTAL. He loved it, but it banged him up pretty good. I used to workout after work without taking my makeup off too. You should definitely bring wipes with you in your bag, it's so helpful.

I am so guilty of this! I have been training hard for the tough mudder race so I am pooped by the end of the day and just pass out with makeup on and all! I have also been working out with my makeup on and my skin is paying the price in pimples! I have those makeup removing wipes but am constantly running out of them =[ I should probably carry them in my gym bag as well lol

i think it really clogs your pores and can make you break out...i recommend using a makeup remover wipe to get rid of your makeup..its fast and easy..also there are acne medicated wipes that you can use on your face for your makeup..itll make it easier for you to take off your makeup before you go to sleep

It is really really really really bad to sleep with your makeup on. It clogs your pores and your skin doesn't have a chance to breathe!

I never take off my makeup but my eye makeup especially. Is it super bad?

Sleeping with your makeup on is so bad for your skin/pores. BUT, i do it. I really try not to and im wayyyyy to lazy to wash my face at night so i just use the neutrogena makeup removing wipes. for eyes, neutrogena eye makeup remover (oil free).

Olive oil works WONDERS for eye makeup. Also....I have a bad habit of coming home from work late at night and just want to crawl into bed. Soooo I started buying makeup wipes by I wanna say it's by ponds. But it's a lavender wipe, and it does and amazing job at removing mascara. They're only like five bucks or less at a drugstore :]

I use a cream cleanser to remove face makeup! I like Eminence coconut cream cleanser but I also LOVE LA FEMME cleansing magic (http://www.allaboutmeebeauty.com/product_p/lf001.htm) a little bit of this, no water needed- picks up all dirt and face makeup! then I do use an oil based eye makeup remover for my eyes and lips- the less you have to tug at your skin to get your makeup off- the better! oil slips it right off!

Oh! forgot to mention, I mix 1 part olive oil + 1 part facial toner in an empty clean bottle with a lid (I use an empty sample size of clinique's take the day off remover) and shake it really well, pour some on a cotton pad, then I remove all my face makeup, then I pour some more in a clean cotton pad only for my eyes. to remove every mascara residue, I fold the cotton pad in half, then grab my eyelashes in between and press with my thumb and index finger, so that I make sure that I'm removing the mascara under my eyelashes, or if tightlined my eyes, it removes everything. Afterwards, I apply 1 or 2 drops of chamomille eyedrops.

For stubborn mascara, I mix 1 part olive oil and 1 part facial toner. When I was younger, I didn't mind much about removing all my mascara and waking up with raccoon eyes, now I'm 25 and I regret it. As you age, you'll find out that eyes are the most sensitive part of your face, and that puffiness can be prevented with a good night time routine, removing all makeup and moisturizing correctly makes a whole difference.

There was some mascara that I use to use that would always leave residue under my eyes and I could not stand that so I stop using the mascara. But I have to agree with Jane, to remove my eye shadow and mascara I use Vaseline. It removes my eye makeup with ease which is what I need since most eye makeup removers are to harsh for my eye area.

What I usually do, because most eye removers leave a filmy residue on my eyes afterwards, I use Vasaline (Petroleum Jelly). I rub it on my eyes, especially when I'm wearing shadow, liner, and mascara. Then I take toilet paper or tissue and rub my eye make up off completely. It helps to take off the stubborn eye liner on your waterline too. Then I wash my face.

I noticed that it only takes a few minutes to do. When I'm extremely tired, I force myself to do it, and it isn't so bad.

i suggest investing in make-up remover wipes. elf makes good ones and they are only three dollars. if you cant find the elf ones, check out the skincare aisle in your grocery store or drug store. they usually have store brands that are in that price range too. hope that helps : )

Baby oil gets EVERYTHING off, even waterproof mascara and eyeliner

Honestly, every little bit helps. I really don't see you having a bad reaction or extreme aging signs because of a little left over mascara ;) but do try to remove as much as possible. I reviewed the Napoleon Perdis Marshmallow foam makeup remover in a video if you wanna check out my YT or videos on my profile. I like it and it has some cool little quirks about it. Also- it will work on waterproof makeup as well :) Good luck!

Oh gosh, please try to remove it if you can! I had a bad experience with going to sleep with make up on. It made my eye lids all flaky and I couldn't wear eye shadow. It took me like 2 weeks to get my lids back to normal.

I never sleep with my make on, I remove my make up every evening using facial cleaner and for my eyes I use eyes remover. So I recommanded to do the same.

I use olive oil. It really breaks down waterproof well too.
