Question

[WindsomeWorth]

If you apply lipstick, eye shadow and other makeup is it then easily and quickly washed off when needed to? Please someone answer, I will appreciate it immensely.

Most of the time yes but it sometimes depends on what type of brand you're using.

Hi WindsomeWorth 🙋‍♀️ Welcome to Susan's Place!  I'm Jessica.
I agree with Sally.  I use disposable makeup remover wipes.  Works quickly and efficiently.

This is a worry that plagues all of us who move between the genders!  As SallyChoasAura advised above, use wipes specially designed to remove makeup and the best advice I can give is to try a small amount on the back of your hand before you start.  If it removes quickly and easily with a wipe, you're in business, if not then avoid unless you want to get caught!

As an aside, I understand that some lipsticks can be quite hard to remove so it's definitely worth checking these before applying to your lips.  Waterproof mascara is another thing to be careful with.

Eye makeup requires some cotton balls, mineral oil and qtips. If you are using certain types of foundation just wiping it is not going to work as they are long lasting waterproof. Again mineral oil is your friend to loosen it up. If you allow the oil to sit for a minute or two it will emulsify the mascara and eyeshadow. Making it easier to take off. You will also have to wash your face. I usually just shampoo my face, along with my hair.
I know this because I used to get dressed before my sister in law came home. Well after looking at me for four or five days she finally asks if I was wearing make-up? The foundation  did not just wipe off. Also be careful with red lipstick as it tends to stain when you least expect it.

Baby oil and some sort of cloth or tissue works well for me. I'm often lazy and just rub everything off in the shower, but eye makeup doesn't completely come off that way; sometimes a little stays behind right on the edge, but the effect is kinda subtle so I don't mind.

I find baby wipes work well for me.

Coconut oil is fantastic for hair, skin and eyelashes, and is a great way to remove for waterproof mascara and liquid lipstick. A little goes a long way. Apply with a Q-tip, give it 15-30 seconds to work and wipe off with a cotton ball.
