Product Review: Femme Couture Eye Make-Up Remover


Like many women I spend time on my make-up; probably more time than most, but that's another story. One of the biggest issues I have found from talking with my clients and from personal experiance is that eyeliner and mascara are a pain to fully remove. I found Femme Couture Eye Make-Up Remover at Sally's Beauty Supply and decided to give it a shot.
Sally's webiste gives the following product information on FC Eye Make-Up Remover:
  • Gently dissolves eye makeup
  • Soothing and refreshing
  • Oil and fragrance free
    Femme Couture Eye Makeup Remover features a gentle but effective formula that quickly dissolves and helps remove even the most stubborn eye makeup. It soothes and refreshes the delicate skin around the eyes. "
I will agree that it is oil and fragrance free as well as effective; all of which is great news for your skin! However, if you have very sensitive skin like I do, you will find that it is not necessarily smoothing and refreshing. While I've used about 65% of the bottle due in part to it's fantastic effectiveness, it is definitely not soothing and refreshing for sensitive skin. It burns quite a bit and is definitely something I try not to use becuase it irritates my skin so much. If you're looking for something that is effective and gentle, Neutrogena's Makeup Remover wipes are just as effective, though you do have to scrub a bit, but it's still gentle and does not burn or sting the face.

Now, I don't know how this product works on someone who doesn't have very sensitive skin. It may be soothing and refreshing - but I would definitely steer clear of this if you know you have sensitive skin or if you are working on a client.
