Reusable Makeup Wipes - Are They Worth The Switch?

I sewed my own by hand made out of the ankle parts of old socks and some plush material (could be an old blanket) and I made all different sizes. They definitely take off more than single use makeup wipes or cotton pads, plus it doesn't hurt as much and the micellar water/makeup remover lasts a hell of a lot longer than makeup wipes ever could

I have dark coloured ones from Honour your flow and I don't need to worry about staining at all yay

If you have white fabrics going grey in the wash, you can use a blueing agent when you wash them or wash in warm/hot water with a blue garment. This usually counteracts some of the grey.

I feel like this is a good handsewing project.

Honestly guys, just buy flannels (UK)/small face towels and a cleansing balm/oil/milk and double cleanse. Been doing this method for years and I'm a daily heavy makeup user. Changed my skin and better for the environment! You can loads of towels in packs online and in stores and throw them in your laundry basket once used.

I have two of these and they’re wonderful!! I just run a bit of soap and hot water over them after each use and that keeps them nice and clean until I have a chance to throw them in the wash.

I've used these for a few years myself. I found that investing in a second set has helped me. I use one set until I run out, wash them in a lingerie bag so I don't lose them in my machine, and use my second set while I'm washing the others.


Coconut oil is also my favorite makeup remover for people looking for something homemade and good for sensitive skin.

Honestly, this is one I could see trying out for myself! And as someone mentioned down below in the comments, this could be a very fun sewing project!

I'm using the bodyshop camomile make up removing butter and I don't use any wipes at all. I just use my hands. This works perfectly fine :)

I use the makeup remover cloths from Primark. They're €2.50 for a pack of 3, washable, and get most makeup (even waterproof!) off with just water. When I first bought them I was like nah, but then I tried them and I was amazed! So if you're not a seamstress you can definitely look into these as another option. They even remove clay masks like a dream. I recommend

I love these! Is there any difference between waterproof and regular makeup when it comes to washing them? I use a lot of waterproof and dont want them to remain stained!

[dorothysstitches]

Have you considered using microfibre cloths so you can reduce using makeup remover, too, as all you’d need (for most of your makeup) would be water?

[k.w.]

I use mine to apply witch hazel and such not just remove makeup. I bought some on Etsy and love them bc they’re all cotton. I keep them in a reused glass candle jar with metal top and wash them in a lingerie bag. I’m actually making some from a repurposed cotton tshirt now. I also just bought a reusable cotton swab set for $5 us $ (if you buy make sure you get ones that don’t have the silicone bud separate from the stick)

Love this video, I made the switch the cloth makeup pads late last year and haven't looked back. Love them x

Hi Klaire! I got a makeup eraser sample a while ago, and im still using it haha. I don’t think I need to buy a full sized one yet, even after months of use :)

[alexfielding-smith]

Question what’s the diameter for the wipes that your sister made? I’m curious to experiment and see different sizes in my hand

[TessaLCastro]

Your makeup looks beautiful in this video

I use reusable cloths I received as a gift and I love using them to take off my makeup in the shower. Then I don't have any residue on my face and mostly just use water to remove makeup, not a product

[Vixinaful]

When they go grey you can bleach/clean them in chlorine!

Hallo Klaire,
Do you know if these pads can be used for removing nailpolisch as well? it's the only thing I still use Cotton pads for and a guilty pleasur. I am a bit worried that the nailpolisch will not come off in the wasching Maschine.
