I use Sephora eye make up remover pads or Lancome's Bi-Facil eye make up remover. It cleans up in a breeze!

I have never tried removing it with soap and water , but my Bare Escentuals cleanser gets it off just fine, so any good facial cleanser ( that is safe for the eye area) will remove it.

This mascara is easy to remove with soap and water. Or any regular facial cleanser will work. I don't use a special eye make up remover and it still comes off easily enough. No tugging or scrubbing of lashes required.

I remove my eye makeup with a gentle eye makeup remover so the delicate skin around my eyes get replenished with moisture, however, I'm sure it can be removed with warm water and a non-abrasive soap.

answer 5

It doesn't require a "special" makeup remover but most beauty experts would recommend to use a basic eye makeup remover regardless of mascara you're using. When used correctly it should help with lash loss as well. But to answer your question simply, soap and water should be sufficient.

You should always remove your makeup at night, even if it is conditioning its not good for your lashes to sleep in it, I use the Lashes to die for platinum at night so I always wash it off, you should really try the lash serum at night, it has made my lashes AMAZING!!!!

Technically, yes. It does have conditioning properties but I would say that wearing all day would give you the max effect as far as the mascara goes. I think they recommend that you buy and use the actually Lashes to Die For serum at night if you wanted a night time conditioning.

I do not wear contacts but I am over 50 & my eyes are extremely sensitive. They water at the slightest irritant. Peter Thomas Roth mascara does not make my eyes water. I attribute that to the sanitary bristle free brush. The brush is made from plastic bristles, thereby not attracting dust & other irritants like a magnet.

I always go short bristles first close to the base of the lashes to build volume and then pull to the ends with the longer bristles for length and definition. I usually go 2 coats back to back with no dry time in between.

I'm not an expert, but I use the bigger bristled part to do the outer 2/3 - 3/4 of my top lashes for the first coat and then use the tiny bristles to reach the inside. If I'm looking for more drama I go over the outer half again with another coat and the big bristles and dab around the tips of my lashes with the tiny bristles to add some more length.

Armani creates a more dramatic effect while Roth provides more of a "little color" day-time effect. I haven't experienced any residual smearing under the eye throughout the day w/ Roth mascara, and there was some w/ the Armani mascara. By the end of the day, my eyes would get a little irritated w/ the Armani product, but not so w/ Roth mascara. Hope this helps.

My opinion is that the mascara doesn't pump up your lashes. If you use the "Lashes to Die For" at night and this mascara, your lashes will get longer and thicker on their own. This mascara is about conditioning and treating your lashes while giving a bit more color and length. Regular mascaras add product to your lashes which strips and damages them. Peter Thomas Roth is about caring for your lashes so they natural appear as you want.
