Lancôme BI-FACIL, 125 mL, $31
If you're prepared to invest a little extra cash in a remover, check out this dual-phase liquid eye cleanser from Lancôme. Perfect for sensitive eyes, BI-FACIL also doesn't irritate contact lenses. The oil component takes off the makeup without leaving an oily residue, while the water refreshes and conditions the skin. It requires a gentle shake before use to mix the two components. Its childproof lid ensures that not a drop is wasted.

The Body Shop Chamomile Eye Make-up Remover, 200 mL, $16
This eye-makeup remover is a product of fair trade. The liquid formula includes organic chamomile water that comes from small-scale rural farmers for a fair price, resulting in the revitalization of their local economy and sense of community. The soothing chamomile leaves eyes and lashes feeling cool and soft. Tip: Use a small amount. A completely saturated cotton ball will leave streaks.

M.A.C Pro Eye Makeup Remover, 150 mL, $18
M.A.C's eye-makeup remover is a clear, unscented liquid that works similar to soap: it creates a soft lather and then you follow up with a clean cotton ball. Though a little labour-intensive, it removes paints, eye shadows, liquid liners and mascaras (waterproof or regular). Makeup can be applied immediately after use, so it's useful when you have removed one look to be replaced by another.

Bonus: Small pointed applicator is perfect for Q-tip fix-ups
