What is the safest and best way to get rid of eye makeup?

There are a few brands of pre-packages cleansing pads made for this purpose available at most large pharmacies. Check with your local drug store.
Use a wet cotton swab with a tiny dab of baby shampoo on the tip. Rub horizontally both the upper and lower eyelid edges, using a new swab until all makeup is removed. Even more important, do not apply makeup to the lid margin behind eyelashes.

Rinse your eyes and lids and insert warm running water with a mild liquid soap.
