Don't Panic! Here's How to Easily Clean Eye Shadow Stains Off Your Tracksuit

We've all been there – you just bought the perfect new tracksuit and then, horror of horrors, your eye shadow transfers onto the fabric. Fear not because with right care and attention, you can remove the stain with ease!

No matter how careful you are, accidents with makeup happen. While it can be tempting to give up on that beloved tracksuit, know that it is possible to rescue it from its eye shadow predicament. All you need is the right cleaning supplies and follow our detailed instructions.

Instructions

1. Scrape off any excess eye shadow with a plastic knife or spatula. Be careful not to spread the stain.
2. Create a mixture of lukewarm water and a few drops of a mild detergent. Work solution into the stain using a sponge or lint-free cloth.
3. Allow the area to dry and then brush away any remaining eye shadow particles with a clean, soft brush.
4. If the stain persists, soak a cotton pad in rubbing alcohol and dab it on affected area. Let solution sit for a few minutes before removing with a damp cloth.
5. If the stain is still present, mix a paste of equal parts baking soda and water and apply it to the eye shadow. Use a toothbrush to gently scrub the stain and then rinse off with cold water.
6. The last option is to visit a professional dry cleaner who will have access to specialist materials that can be used to remove the stain.

Additional Tips

• Be sure to test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area of the garment first.
• Always read the label of any cleaning product before use – this includes laundry detergent.
• If you’re tackling the stain yourself, work from outside of the stain to the centre to avoid spreading it further.
