We all know the biggest Makeup faux pas — that’s forgetting to take off your carefully applied look at the end of the day. No matter how tired you are, it’s essential to always go to bed with a clean slate so you can wake up fresh faced in the morning (of course, a few bottles of water during the day and an eight-hour sleep don’t hurt either). That being said, not all makeup removers are born equal! Some leave you with brittle lashes, an oily film on your skin, or simply don’t remove your makeup.

Here we’ve put together a list of some of the best and brightest – whether you’re looking for something that will erase even the most waterproof mascaras, a remover made for sensitive skin, or something to keep on your bedside table for lazy nights.
