Makeup Stains

Whether you wear “full face” makeup whenever you leave the house - or just mascara and lip gloss, no matter how careful you, there will be times when your cosmetics will end up staining your clothes, furniture, carpets, car interior, your purse, suitcase, or something!

Knowing how to remove makeup stains is important to keeping your clothes and accessories fresh, clean and classy, and keeping your possessions free of spots and smudges.

Types of Makeup Stains

There are two main types of makeup - oily and non oily.

Oily makeup includes:

• Lipstick
• Cream and gel blush
• Foundation
• Tinted moisturizer and bronzer
• Creme eye shadow
• Eyebrow and eyeliner pencil
• Mascara

Non oily makeup, which can also create problems, includes:

• Powdered eye shadow
• Powdered blush and bronzer
• Powdered makeup or mineral foundation
• Face powder

Other common cosmetic stains include:

• Nail polish
• Hair dye

Removing a Makeup Stain

With cosmetics, as with any other type of stain, the fresher it is, and the sooner you can treat it, the easier it will be to completely, safely and effectively remove it. Luckily, makeup is usually applied at home, so you can often deal with it immediately. If you’re away from home, when your problem happens, all is not lost. Simply visit our How To Remove A Make Up Stain page and we’ll have you smiling again in no time.
