Well, it's not getting it off that is the real problem. I remove it with no problem (I actually love my MK eye make-up remover), but it's just the wearing of it to begin with that irritates my eyes, and then hours later, it's AWFUL. It's still red and goopy today, and that's par for the course. It usually lasts two days or so each time I'm brave enough to wear make-up again.
