Removing Makeup Marks from Clothes
Makeup can leave loose pigment, oily residue, or a combination of both, so identify the cosmetic before choosing a treatment. Remove excess without pushing it farther into the cloth. The method must suit the garment as well as the stain, with the label and product directions controlling any pretreatment, wash temperature, or alternative cosmetic-remover approach.
Liquid detergent targets the mark
Ariel's makeup guide discusses pretreatment with a liquid detergent suited to greasy stains. The product is spread gently over the affected fabric before the item joins the wash. Follow the specific detergent directions rather than scrubbing forcefully or assuming that bleach is appropriate for every cosmetic stain.

Keep the fabric limits visible
The guide uses the garment's care label to set the washing temperature and stresses correct dosing. Mascara, lipstick, and foundation may be difficult marks, but the cleaning method still has to protect the clothing. Check the treatment's compatibility with the fabric, its dye, and any trim before proceeding with the rest of the load.
