Learn the correct order: remove makeup with the MakeUp Eraser, then apply Firming Clouds Undereye Masks for best results. Step-by-step routine inside.
Quick Answer
Use your MakeUp Eraser to remove all makeup and sunscreen first, then apply the Firming Clouds Undereye Masks on clean, dry skin. This order lets the hydrogel masks hug your skin and deliver ingredients without makeup residue blocking absorption.

Undereye masks work best on a clean canvas. If you apply them over leftover makeup or sunscreen, the serum-soaked hydrogel can't fully reach your skin. That's where the MakeUp Eraser comes in: it removes makeup with just water, so you can prep your eyes without harsh rubbing or extra cleansers.
The Firming Clouds Undereye Masks are designed to visibly firm, lift, and plump tired undereyes in one use. Pairing them with the MakeUp Eraser gives you a quick, gentle routine that works for early mornings or late nights.
Why Remove Makeup Before Undereye Masks?
Undereye masks are formulated to deliver ingredients like black currant, bakuchiol, niacinamide, and collagen. If your skin is covered with makeup, sunscreen, or oil, those ingredients have to compete with residue to reach your skin. Removing makeup first ensures the mask's serum can absorb properly.
The MakeUp Eraser is especially helpful here because it's non-irritating and non-drying. Its patented, water-activated fibers gently lift away makeup and sunscreen from pores without stripping the delicate eye area. This makes it a smart prep step before any mask.
How to Prep Your Eye Area with the MakeUp Eraser
Start with dry hands and a dry MakeUp Eraser. Gently wipe your closed eyes and surrounding skin to remove the bulk of makeup. Then wet the eraser with warm water and wring it out well, so it's damp but not dripping.
Use the soft side to sweep away eye makeup, including waterproof formulas. Move in one direction, from the inner corner outward, and avoid pulling or tugging. Rinse the eraser as needed and continue until no makeup residue remains on the cloth.
Applying the Firming Clouds Undereye Masks
After your skin is clean and dry, open the Firming Clouds Undereye Masks. The cloud-shaped, double-sided design is meant to hug the skin without slipping. Gently place each mask under your eyes, aligning the wider edge toward the outer corner.
Leave the masks on for the time recommended on the package, then remove them and gently pat any remaining serum into your skin. You can follow with your usual moisturizer or eye cream if you like.
Step-by-Step Routine
- Dry wipe first: Use a dry MakeUp Eraser to gently remove the first layer of eye makeup, including mascara and eyeliner. This lifts away excess product without needing extra cleanser. Checkpoint: Your eraser should look visibly dirty after this pass – that means it's working.
- Wet and wring out: Wet the MakeUp Eraser with warm water and wring it out until it's damp but not dripping. Warm water activates the fibers for better makeup pickup. Avoid using hot water, which can irritate the eye area. Warm is enough.
- Sweep away remaining makeup: Use the soft side of the damp eraser to gently wipe away any remaining makeup, including waterproof formulas. Work in short, outward strokes without rubbing. Checkpoint: If you see makeup on the cloth after wiping, rinse and repeat until it comes away clean.
- Pat dry and apply masks: Pat your eye area dry with a clean towel, then apply the Firming Clouds Undereye Masks to clean, dry skin. Smooth them into place so they hug the under-eye contour. Don't apply masks on damp skin – they may slip and not adhere properly.
- Relax and finish: Leave the masks on for the recommended time, then remove them and gently pat any remaining serum into your skin. Follow with your usual moisturizer if desired. For best results, use this routine in the evening so the ingredients work overnight.
