Review on 4 Oz IPM Isopropyl Myristate - Professional Makeup and Adhesive Remover - Pros-aide and PAX Paint Remover - Makeup and Airbrush Thinner by Michelle Pope

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The oil base makes your makeup look like oily slime!

I'm not sure what makeup they intended to remove with this product but I had a terrible experience with it. I apply makeup with special effects and paint the body. I've used everything from oil paints to water based paradise paints. I also used alcohol based body paints and PAX paints (acrylic and prosait). In December I dress up as a Grinch with PAX paint and latex foam prostheses. Cosmetics adhere very well to the skin. I usually use Supersolv to remove makeup, but after ten Grinch performances in December, my face can get rough. I was hoping it would be a softer alternative. What really sucks is the fact that it's oil based. It turns pretty much all your makeup into oil-based paint. What does that mean? This means that where most paints either dry and peel or wash off with soap and water, the oil base mixes with your paint and turns into an oily goo! The color that peeled off my skin took several uses to remove the color and then it came off very little. Then I jumped in the shower and tried to wash it off with soap and water. My PAX paint, now oily, smeared everything around me. Instead of just coming off with soap and water, it literally smeared all over the floor and walls of my shower room. I would definitely not recommend this product!
