Whether you got caught in the rain while wearing your ballet flats or you accidentally spilled your makeup bag in haste, removing eye shadow stains from your delicate shoes is not an easy task. Don’t fret – there are ways to make it look like the spots never existed.
Steps for Cleaning Eye Shadow Stains
- To start, mix two parts water with one part rubbing alcohol in a cup.
- Using a white cloth, dab the mixture onto the stained area until it is moistened.
- Gently rub the stained area in a circular motion to remove the residue.
- Once everything has been wiped away, rinse the cloth with cool water and pat the surface dry.
- If the stain persists, there is one more solution. Place a small amount of liquid laundry detergent directly onto the stain. Allow it to sit for several minutes before washing them in cold water in the washing machine.
- Afterwards, air-dry the shoes as much as possible.
These simple steps should assist in eliminating any traces of eye shadow that may have found their way onto your favourite pair of ballet flats.
Preventative Measures
By taking a few extra precautions, you can avoid getting your ballet flats dirty altogether. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Always store your eye makeup in a safe place, away from your clothes.
- Be careful when applying and take time to apply it away from fabric.
- Carry a foldable umbrella or hood if you plan on wearing ballet flats in the rain.
By following these simple tips, you’ll help keep your delicate ballet flats looking as clean and pristine as possible.
