Have you ever had the blue-collar red lipstick nightmare? We\u2019ve all done it \u2013 gone to give a significant other a peck on the cheek (or a full-on hug) and missed and ended up with lipstick on their collar. Or you\u2019ve pulled your favorite top over your head before you took your make-up off and ended up smearing it everywhere.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Fear not! We\u2019re here to help with the lowdown on how to get lipstick out of clothes without ruining your beloved rags. Read to the bottom for top tips on how to get lipstick out of clothes and handle other common make-up issues.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Knowing how to get lipstick out of clothes can be a huge relief, especially if it\u2019s a favorite shirt that\u2019s got your lip-prints all over it! A lipstick stain might not come straight off after the first wash, so here are some tips on removing lipstick from clothing permanently. First, always check that the item of clothing isn\u2019t dry clean only, as it might be time to get a professional involved!<\/span><\/p>\n Lipstick is oily and full of high-quality pigments. Great news for eye-catching lips. Bad news for clean, white blouses. The longer you leave a lipstick stain, the higher chance it will become permanent. Never put a stained item of clothing in the dryer or near a heat source, as the stain will set forever.<\/span><\/p>\n Why dish soap? It\u2019s designed to break down grease and oils, so it helps lift the stain from the fabric without damaging the fabric itself.<\/span><\/p>\n If you have<\/span> isopropyl alcohol<\/span><\/a> or rubbing alcohol in the house, try dabbing some all over your lipstick stains. Once the whole stain is blotted with alcohol, rinse the item thoroughly with cold water then wash as normal. Be aware; this may affect the color on some fabrics, so you might want to patch test first, if possible.<\/span><\/p>\n If you don\u2019t have rubbing alcohol in the house, try<\/span> hairspray<\/span><\/a>. Hairspray also contains alcohol, so it can be just as effective to use to get rid of lipstick stains. Spray the area, leave for 10 to 15 minutes then rinse with cold water.<\/span><\/p>\n If you get stained while you\u2019re out and about with none of these items to hand, try baby wipes or facial wipes to remove the worst of the stain<\/a>. It could make a big difference later on.<\/span><\/p>\n Don\u2019t use bleach or strong chemicals that may harm your clothes or change the color of the fabric.<\/span><\/p>\n Don\u2019t use an iron or other heat treatment until the stain has fully gone as this could seal it in permanently.<\/span><\/p>\n Don\u2019t scrub so hard that you tear or wear away the fabric or color.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Chapstick isn\u2019t quite the same as lipstick, as it rarely has pigment. Still, you don\u2019t want waxy Chapstick smears all over your clothes. Here\u2019s how to get Chapstick out of fabric easily.<\/span><\/p>\n Don\u2019t rub at foundation stains as you\u2019ll only make it worse. Lift the excess away with the edge of a credit card, then treat with undiluted detergent. Work the detergent in with a soft-bristled brush. Leave for 15 minutes, scrub lightly with a clean brush, and rinse in hot water. Wash as normal.<\/span><\/p>\n Mascara is dark and very noticeable. Plus, high-end mascara is designed not to run when wet! So how do you clean mascara off clothes? Treat the stain with a<\/span> heavy-duty stain remover<\/span><\/a>, following the instructions on the package. Let it sit for fifteen minutes then wash on the hottest setting possible for that item of clothing. Always check the garment\u2019s label<\/a> for any warnings. Ensure stain is gone before putting the garment in the dryer.<\/span><\/p>\n Eyeshadow ranges from loose powder to thick cream, and it\u2019s heavily pigmented, so it can leave a startling stain, even on dark fabrics. Shake or scrape off any excess, treat with a stain remover, and wash as normal. Repeat as necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n Now you have everything you need to keep your wardrobe make-up free\u00a0 even if you are a professional makeup artist<\/a>! <\/span>Remember to remove your everyday make-up <\/a><\/span>before<\/span><\/i> you get changed and put it on after getting dressed for that big night out\u2026 or Zoom catch up!<\/span><\/p>\n Knowing how to get lipstick out of clothes can keep your favorite items of clothing looking fresh and new for years to come. Learn how to remove lipstick stain from fabric using alcohol, hairspray, and other common household items.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Have you ever had the blue-collar red lipstick nightmare?
