Oil-based makeup remover best removes which type of makeup?

• A. Powder foundation
• B. Waterproof mascara
• C. Liquid eyeliner
• D. Lip gloss

Answer: (B)

Oil-based removers excel at breaking down makeup that’s designed to resist moisture. Waterproof mascara uses waxes and film-forming polymers to create a durable, water-repellent coat on lashes. The oil in the remover dissolves those components, softening the film and letting the mascara lift away with minimal rubbing. That makes oil-based removers the most effective option for removing waterproof mascara. Powder foundation, eyeliner, and lip gloss aren’t formulated to be as resistant, so while an oil-based remover can remove them, the waterproof mascara presents the toughest, best‑matched challenge for this type of product.
