Let’s be honest, when you’ve had a successful prom night and made it through the after party, the last thing you’ll be thinking about is taking off all your prom makeup. You may even be tempted to leave your dress crumpled on the floor and slip into bed with a full face of makeup on — but you shouldn’t. Just think how proud you’ll be in the morning if you wake up to a cleansed face, rather than raccoon eyes from smudged mascara. That’s why we’ve got you covered with five affordable makeup removers perfect for dissolving traces of even the toughest prom makeup, from waterproof eyeliner to that matte liquid lipstick that really didn’t transfer to your mask.  Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water All-in-1 Cleanser & Waterproof Makeup RemoverChances are you won’t feel like double-cleansing after a long night of dancing, picture-taking and shuttling between afterparties. In fact, you might not even want to go to the bathroom to wash your face at all! If that’s the case, reach for a micellar water that’s tough enough to wash away waterproof prom makeup without stripping the skin. This one is so easy to use, it doesn’t even need to be rinsed off — seriously, you can fall asleep in it. Simply douse a cotton pad in the cleansing water and wipe until all that waterproof liner is gone. You can even stash the bottle by your bed so you remember to use it before you doze off. L'Oréal Eye Makeup RemoverIf your eyes were the focus of your prom makeup look, you may want to reach specifically for an eye-safe makeup remover. This gentle liquid is dermatologist- and ophthalmologist-tested, so it won’t irritate the sensitive eye area. Remember that no matter how stubborn your mascara may be, it’s best not to rub and tug on the eyes. Soak a cotton pad in the makeup remover, then press it to your lids for 20 to 30 seconds before gently wiping away. CeraVe Makeup Removing Cleanser ClothsCleansing cloths are a party girl’s dream — they erase waterproof makeup with ease but are tiny enough that you can stash one or two in your clutch just in case you decide to spend the night at a friend’s after prom.
