Makeup removers are commonly available in which two forms?

• A. Oil-based and water-based
• B. Cream and wax
• C. Gel and paste
• D. Powder and liquid

Answer: (A)

Makeup removers are defined by how they interact with makeup—oil-based and water-based. Oil-based removers dissolve and lift heavy or waterproof makeup by blending with the skin’s natural oils, making stubborn residues easy to wipe away. Water-based removers are lighter and use cleansing agents in water to lift and rinse off makeup that is water-soluble or everyday cosmetics, leaving a lighter finish. In practice, many routines start with an oil-based remover to break down stubborn makeup, then follow with a water-based cleanser to rinse and balance the skin. The other pairings describe texture or consistency (cream, gel, paste, etc.) rather than the primary chemistry of the remover.
