What You Will Need

A few clean cotton balls
Isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol)
Dish detergent

Step 1: Blotting the Stain

Using a clean cotton ball, blot the area with rubbing alcohol. Make sure to blot gently as to not spread the stain. You should begin to see some of colour transfer onto the cotton ball. This technique works best if you catch the stain right after it happens.

Step 2: Adding Detergent

Mix one part dish soap and two parts water in a cup. Once the mixture is combined dip a clean, damp cloth into the mixture. Gently dab cloth onto eye shadow stain and then blot with a dry cloth.

Step 3: Rinse the Stain

Gently rinse the area with lukewarm water. You should begin to see stain disappearing as you rinse.

Step 4: Dry the Fabric

Using a clean, dry cloth, blot the area to absorb any remaining moisture. Make sure to not use too much pressure as to not damage the fabric.

Step 5: Apply Rubbing Alcohol

Moisten a new cotton ball with rubbing alcohol. Gently dab stained area with the cotton ball. You may need to reapply more rubbing alcohol as necessary.

Step 6: Wash and Air Dry

Wash the fabric according to the instructions on the textile label. Once done, air dry the fabric to ensure stain is completely removed.
