Many women, but also men, place great value on their appearance. Daily makeup is certainly part of that. But before you know it, an unsightly makeup stain can appear on clothing or other items. Not pleasant, since makeup is naturally meant to adhere well. So it does this not only on the face, but also very well on other materials. Annoying if you were careless or the tube of liquid makeup “spat.”
Whether on blouses, scarves, shirt collars, or tops – the light makeup stains do indeed leave nasty marks, especially on dark clothing, where they are very easy to see.
Removing makeup stains
Of course, everyone wants to clean their clothing as quickly as possible. But not every textile can be saved in seconds. Pay attention to what material your clothing is made of. Particularly delicate fabrics such as silk should not be cleaned by hand; if in doubt, take it to the dry cleaner. For more robust clothing, on the other hand, you can provide some first aid yourself. To makeup stains remove from dark clothing, try using soft bread (the inside of the bread). Rub the stain very carefully with it. For fresh stains, the piece of bread mentioned above or a little denatured alcohol helps – dried makeup traces often disappear with the help of
- Gall soap
- Alcohol
- glycerin or
- potato starch
Tip: be sure to pay attention to this not to use cleaners that are too harsh or aggressive to use. This is because the clothing may unintentionally become bleached. Anyone who is unsure should always try the diluted version on an inconspicuous area.
How to gently remove makeup stains
If a mishap has occurred on linen, cotton, or viscose, you can also consider using facial tonerWith this method, put a little of the facial toner on a cotton pad and dab the stains on the clothing. However, never rub the textiles, as this will only make the stain more noticeable. Instead, let the product work for a while and then rinse the area with clear water.
Tip: the more carefully you proceed here, the lower the risk of ruining the clothing.
What is the best way to avoid makeup stains?
Of course, you should apply before getting dressed your makeup. If the tube of liquid makeup tends to spray or spit because of air, you can quickly wipe the stains off your skin with a cosmetic tissue.
After putting on your clothing, you can finally attempt the finishing touches, but you should proceed carefully here as well.
Tips for applying makeup
- Do not buy cheap makeup, but rather a higher-quality one that, for example, does not rub off. This reduces the risk of ugly makeup marks forming on clothing.
- When applying powder, you should first tap it off on the back of your hand or gently blow it off. This prevents excess powder on the sponge or brush, and nothing can crumble onto your clothing.
- Put a towel or bathrobe over your nice clothing so that no stains can get on it.
What can I do if the stain cannot be removed at all?
Of course, especially with very delicate clothing or cheap makeup, it can happen that the stain cannot be cleaned at all. Either you part with the garment or you use these simple tricks.
- With a piece of Chalk you can cover the stain for the moment. This is how our grandmothers did it, after all, there weren’t such rich chemicals back then.
- If all else fails, simply cover the annoying stain with a beautiful brooch.
