Admit it, washing your face with regular soap or everyday facial wash doesn't cut it when removing makeup, a follow-up toner would also have sufficed but depending on how much makeup you put in your face is how much you have to remove makeup completely. Also, heavy duty makeup makes it all the more tricky to remove not to mention in my case waterproof liquid eyeliner settles in my under eye like it belonged there. I have to do an extra step to remove it.
There are dozen ways to remove makeup, but here are my go to products I discovered lately
Clean skin that feels softer and smoother--that's the Pond's institute promise
Ponds Perfect Care Cold Cream- this cream is a wonder. It is so called the old-fashioned way of removing makeup. Slather cream on face, swipe the area with tissue or washcloth, the makeup goes with it no less.

I find this best on liquid liners and waterproof mascaras. I like how this cream smells. However, some say that this is not advisable for blemish prone skin and should be more often be used if you have dry skin.
Watsons gentle eye and lip makeup remover - effective in removing makeup compared to regular toners because it is oil-based. Some people use oil to remove makeup, this is just a better version of that baby oil as a makeup remover. Although using oil and this could be icky at times.

Dove Foaming Make Up Remover - foam facial wash specially made in removing makeup. While regular facial wash might leave your skin dry, stretched and leaves residue, this washes away makeup gently and leaves skin moisturized. If you don't like any other ritual other than washing your face, this is the best for you. It removes all makeup in just one wash even mascaras that don't just go with just washing your face
Olay Fresh Effects Wipes - I recently found out that there are wipes now that removes makeup. This is very convenient especially when traveling for example. I honestly sometimes fall asleep with makeup on. Having this kind of swipes in bed will solve that I'm-too-tired-to-get-up-to-remove-my-makeup laziness. Just few swipes and your done. But I still do like washing my face at the end of the day
So many ways to remove makeup, you can use one or a combination to remove it. The important thing is that face is clean at the end of the day to avoid nasty breakouts in the future.
