How To Remove Eye Shadow Stains From Tartan:

Test the area with water-free dry cleaning solvent to make sure it does not discolor the material. Work the solvent into the stain using a cotton swab.
If stain still remains, mix equal parts of dishwashing detergent and white vinegar together. Apply this mixture to the stain and let it sit for 15 minutes before rinsing with cold water.
If the stain has still not been removed, mix 1 teaspoon of ammonia with 2 cups of warm water. Saturate a cloth with this solution and dab gently at the stain until it begins to lift.
Once the stain has been removed, rinse fabric with cold water and allow it to air-dry.

What is the best way to prevent eye shadow stains on tartan?
