Remove eye makeup

How do you "correctly" remove eye makeup? Mascara particular.

I'm 100% doing it wrong!

I just dash on some makeup remover on a cotton ball and kind of rub around, often dragging outwardly. Most often I can't get it all away from the lash line closes to the lid so end up either pulling all the skin sideways (outwardly) and the rubbing the cotton back and forth or I pinch the lashes and kind of pull it of same way it's being put on.

I rarely use makeup so not a every day (or weekly) thing for me, but I would like to do it in a way that helps me take better card of the skin around the eyes. I'm 36 and wrinkles are starting to show and I can't afford botox lol
