I accidently dropped a glass bottle of liquid foundation makeup, the bottle broke and makeup splattered on my pants in various areas. The color is beige and fabric is cotton. How can I remove these stains?

The newer stain removers will take out makeup stains - I use shout wipes to carry around - and then treat again before you wash. It may take several applications.

I was reading them all. I took the peroxide and detergent suggestion. the peroxide. No... but just using the detergent. Yes. I got MAC studio fix fluid foundation on my WHITE* hollister shirt. I used the organic biodegradable 3x concentrated "method+" brand. I got about 90 (ish)% out, and was extremely impressed.

While trying to put top on liquid makeup container, it went sideways and splattered the front and arm of my good black lined jacket. I immediately ran cold water w/soft hand soap on it, but to no avail. I didn't do the front part as worried about stains setting in. It is the type of jacket you would send to cleaners. Should I just do that?

I've found that if you apply rubbing alcohol and bleach heavily to the spot and and scrub with a toothbrush, then rinse with cold water the spot is bond to dissapear.

Works best on light or white colored clothes

My daughter got oil-free foundation on her white uniform shirt. It's 100% cotton. I went ahead and washed it without thinking. Of course, it didn't come out. Please help!

I spilled a large amount of liquid foundation on a pair of white cotton pants. I thought I would have to throw them out. A friend suggested I use peroxide mixed with liquid detergent. I did and not a mark remains. I just soaked a corner of a washcloth in peroxide and dipped it into a little liquid detergent and rubbed the spot. It took only moments to remove it.

Thanks, jokestersn, for the shaving cream advice (now almost two and a half years ago!). This morning I was agonizing over my many work blouses that have gotten just a drip of foundation on them....most DIY advice suggests dry cleaning solvent or bleach, and could do significant damage to the fabric. Shaving cream works like a charm! I am delighted!

I have a liquid foundation stain on a white cotton jumper and have had no luck in getting it out! Bleaching was unsuccessful so I'm hoping someone has a miracle solution as this is a favourite jumper.

RE: Liquid Foundation On White Cotton Jumper

Makeup on Collars or Clothes: Apply a small amount of shaving cream to the stain (figure B) and work in using your thumbs. If this doesn't remove the entire stain, add rubbing alcohol to the mix and let it set on the area. Make sure the stain is completely removed before putting the garment into the washer.

RE: Liquid Foundation On White Cotton Jumper

Not sure about on white, but my granddaughter once dumped an entire bottle of foundation on my living room chair, which is apolstered in a chenille type fabric. I used an automotive apolstery cleaner figuring it had a degreaser in it. It took a while because it was so much, but did take it out. Just a thought. (01/19/2005)

I would try Dawn Dish Detergent. This works well on oil type stains. Just apply to the area, rub lightly and launder as usual. May have to do this more than once. (01/19/2005)

RE: Liquid Foundation On White Cotton Jumper

I know this sounds ridiculous, but spray the spot with oven cleaner (in a well-ventilated room), wait ten minutes and then launder. You may need to do it more than once but don't leave the oven cleaner on too long. Restaurant chefs use this to get stains out of their white jackets. (01/19/2005)
