How can I get makeup off my white shirt?

I had cover-up on my bathroom counter, and leaned to get


closer to the mirror and it got on my WHITE shirt!





I immediately put water on it, but it didn't come off at all!


What else can I try?!





Thing that really sucks is that it's my sister's new shirt. hahah WhoopsHow can I get makeup off my white shirt?
don't worry i always get my white shirts covered in foundation, powder etc. just machine wash it it should come out fineHow can I get makeup off my white shirt?
Things You鈥檒l Need:





Wipes


Makeup remover


Toothpaste


Cloth


Soap


Shampoo


Detergent





Step1


Identify the type of makeup stain as the spot treatment you choose depends on the type of stain. Usually complexion powders, blush powder and eye shadow are all types of non-oily makeup. Mascara and lipstick are oily makeup stains.





Step2


Try baby wipes for both types of stains if nothing more specific is available. Many of the wipes on the market today are multi-use and it鈥檚 a good idea to always have a pack in your purse or in the car. Check the packaging to see specifics on stain removal ability.





Step3


Apply makeup remover that you use on your face. Always test a small discreet section of fabric before applying makeup remover liquid or pad to the stain.





Step4


Choose white classic toothpaste for oil-based makeup stains as a last resort. Dabbing and rubbing the stain with a blob of toothpaste and a dampened cloth is effective but time-consuming. Be sure you have enough time to use this technique before beginning as it may leave a damp patch, depending on the type and absorbency of the fabric.





Step5


Use a bar soap and a damp cloth to remove a non-oil-based stain from clothing. Powdered makeup often brushes away with a little dabbing of the cloth, but be sure not to smear the makeup deeper into the fabric. A light but determined hand is best.





Step6


Take a little shampoo or liquid detergent and apply in a circular motion with a damp cloth. This works well on non-oil-based makeup stains. Damp patches can be quickly dried with a hair dryer but be sure not to set in any residue stain in the process as heat is a fixing agent.

Tips :


Put on an outfit and place a towel or cloth around your neck before applying your makeup to reduce risk of staining.
i always scrub the fabric together with some dish soap (it's made to break down oils like the ones in make up) and cold water then throw it in the washer and let it wash. this has happened to me a million times with the collars of shirts while i'm trying them on lol make sure you don't put it in the dryer unless the stain is out tho or the hot air will set the stain and it will never come out. good luck!
Try Spray and Wash or bleach pen and use Dawn Dish Soap when you wash it in hot water. Check it before you put it in the dryer as the heat from the dryer will set the stain.


If it isn't gone before you put it in the dryer re-wash it again, same method.
get some tide to go or maybe you can wash it with bleach and it will come out or if that doesn't work then take it to the dry cleaners! =)
if its entirely white


bleach


if not you can use that oxi clean stuff


it actually really works and its safe for colors
dish detergent WITHOUT bleach and pour HOT water over it for 5 minutes
peroxide somtimes works ,
Try soap and water. There's always bleach. :D
Possibly a stain stick!
