Want to up your vegan beauty game while also being mindful of the planet? Then you need to get your hands on these makeup eraser cloths (or their knockoffs). Switching to microfibre cloths instead of single-use disposable makeup wipes will not only save you money but also reduce a huge amount of landfill waste!
Price:
The Original Pink – $26 CAD (measures approx. 15.5in x 7.25in.)
Initial Reaction:
This cloth is a game-changer. I’ve been using these since they launched in 2013 & have amassed about 9 or 10 of them now. I remember when I first went to try it out I was somewhat skeptical of its claims.
I mean, what magic cloth can take away all of your makeup including stubborn mascara?
Usage:
I like to have at least 7 of these for everyday of the week (I use 1 a day). I don’t like to use any products to wash my face in the morning so instead I will use cool water to rinse my skin & then I’ll soak a Makeup Eraser Cloth in warm water and give my skin a gentle exfoliation/rub. It leaves my skin feeling fresh & clean & ready for my morning skincare routine.
At night I like to wet & wash my face first, I mainly use Kopari’s Coconut Cleansing Oil. So I’ll wash with that & then I’ll soak the Makeup Eraser Cloth in warm water & remove any leftover grime & dirt. I love using it as my final cleansing step; it just makes everything feel clean and removed. Then I’ll do my bedtime skincare. (To note, I use it even when I’m not wearing makeup that day)
Skin Concerns:
- Dryness
- Mini Breakouts
- Uneven Texture
- Pore Size
- Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Vegan Beauty Claims:
#1 Sustainable makeup remover in the world. Erase ALL makeup with JUST water! Including waterproof mascara, eyeliner, foundation, lipstick and more!
The Original MakeUp Eraser is a premium, patented, polyester cloth that is made up of millions of tiny hair-like fibers to work as a “suction” for all dirt, makeup and oil in your pores. Double-sided to erase makeup with the short fibers and exfoliate the skin with the long fibers (side with tag). Antibacterial, machine washable and reusable 3 to 5 years. Ultra-soft, dermatologist approved and great for sensitive skin.
1 MakeUp Eraser is equal to 3600 makeup wipes! No chemicals, less waste. #nomorewipes” (I LOVE THAT IT IS SO MUCH LESS WASTEFUL)
Results:
Very rarely do I have to scrub or pay extra attention to a certain area after using this cloth to remove my makeup. It takes all mascaras off super easily. I find the warmer the water & not ringing it out too much helps. I also like to hold the cloth on my eyes for a few seconds (especially when wearing eye makeup) just to let the warmth & the cloth sink into the makeup. Then I gently massage & wipe clean. It’s super fast & simple, like a face cloth but 100x’s more efficient.
Final Thoughts:
I’m definitely a life-long customer now. There are other knock-off brands that work just as well. I bought a couple from Miniso & I know the Face Halo is pretty much the same thing. It is a really great product/tool to have to minimize your impact on the environment, to save money (not constantly buying disposable wipes), & to get a really thorough clean. Not to mention, their are a ton of harmful chemicals found in traditional makeup wipes.
I like to take a couple on all of my vacations because they’re light weight & when you run out of cleanser it’s really not that big of a deal with these bad boys on hand. I also love that they are through & through vegan & cruelty-free.
They are also Dermatologist approved, hypoallergenic, eco-friendly, antibacterial, chemical-free, machine washable, & great for sensitive skin.
Will I Re-purchase?
Duh! They claim to last 3-5 years but I think it all depends on how many you have on hand. If you’re constantly using multiples a week then I think they’ll last even longer.
Ps. Hang dry to keep them lasting even longer!

Nice! I had no idea makeup eraser cloths existed! I hate using all the extra chemicals to get makeup off my face so this is fantastic news!
So unnecessary to have to add all of that to our skin. Way better this way! <3
I hadn’t thought of using microfiber cloths on my face before, but maybe now I will try it. I don’t wear makeup very often because of my job, so I usually just use a regular washcloth. These sustainable makeup cloths look so soft, though. I may need to give one a shot!
I will say they are much softer than regular wash cloths. Although, a regular face cloth without makeup will give you a nice exfoliation too. So both are great options!
I love that these makeup eraser cloths are a more sustainable option! Although I don’t wear makeup, these are definitely a better choice for those that do.
They’re also great for just washing the day away at the end of the day. I use them in the morning too.
This vegan make-up remover cloth sounds like the sustainable alternative to the wipes. I’m definitely going to try it!
I’ve never gone back! So much softer too.
I’ve been using microfiber cloths to cleanse my face for years! I love them and always take them with me when I travel too.
They’re so awesome!
It’s great they reduce waste. Lisa’s always looking for new products.
My sister-in-law got me two of these for Christmas. I was impressed at how well they worked!
Right?! You wouldn’t think that with just some warm water you could take off so much!
I love that the makeup eraser cloths will last up to 3-5 years. This is a much more sustainable item vs the single use cloths.
Exactly! And tbh, I’ve definitely had more than 5 years of use from them.
I never took the plunge to try these but I love that they reduce so much waste!
Me too. Such a great way to save money & the planet.
