#1 De-sparkle first

#2 Use an oil-based cleanser

#3 Focus on the eyes

#4 Spot cleaning matters

By now, most of the makeup would be gone, but there may be some hard-to-reach areas like the hairline, ear and neck that still have traces of makeup lingering. Use cotton pads saturated with gentle micellar water to spot-clean those areas.

#5 Get the glitter

Glitter is notoriously hard to remove and if you still have bits of glitter sticking onto your skin, try using good 'ol fashion tape to remove them. Fashion tape is safe for use on the skin and doesn't leave sticky bits behind – just dab them on the areas you see a shiny speck.

#6 Moisturise, moisturise, moisturise

Good job on going through all the steps for a thorough cleanse. After all your skin has been though, you'll need to give it some TLC with a moisturiser, Halloween makeup can be pretty drying, especially after wearing it for the entire night. Feel free to use a sleeping mask to give it an extra boost of moisture!
