Oh my goodness, where do I even begin? As a makeup artist of 20 years (time flies when you’re blending!), I’ve seen my fair share of foundation mishaps and lipstick slip-ups. And let’s not even get started on the glitter – it gets everywhere!
Now, mix that with being a busy mum to two adorable, and one very energetic little ones and you’ve got yourself a recipe for the occasional makeup stain disaster on just about everything. Yes, everything.
But fear not, my fellow beauty enthusiasts and multitasking mums, I’ve got some secret weapons up my sleeve for tackling those pesky makeup stains. And as I’m now juggling my passion for makeup with creating content from home, these tips are lifesavers!
Here are my top 3 ways to remove makeup stains:
1. The Trusty Dish Soap & Warm Water Technique
This is my go-to method for a quick fix:
● Gently Blot: First things first, resist the urge to rub! Gently blot the stain with a clean, dry cloth to remove any excess product.
● Mix Magic: Create a mixture of dish soap and warm water. The dish soap is designed to cut through grease, making it perfect for oily makeup messes.
● Dab & Rinse: Use a cloth or sponge to dab the mixture onto the stain. Work from the outside in to prevent spreading. Rinse with cold water and voilà!
2. Shaving Cream Shuffle
Yes, you read that right. Shaving cream!
● Apply: Apply a dollop of shaving cream directly onto the stain.
● Wait a Bit: Let it sit for a few minutes to penetrate the makeup.
● Rinse Away: Rinse off with cold water, and the stain should lift right off.
