How do I prevent foundation from staining my mesh?

The best way to avoid staining mesh with foundation is to use a non-oil based product and always blot off any excess product. You should also be sure to clean the mesh regularly with a gentle detergent.

Can I use hot water to rinse the paste off my mesh?

It is advised not to use hot water when cleaning mesh as this can lead to shrinkage and distortion. Instead, use lukewarm water for best results.

What You'll Need

A few tablespoons of baking soda
Small bowl
Toothbrush
Lukewarm water

Step 1: Make Your Baking Soda Paste

Begin by mixing a few tablespoons of baking soda and a small bowl of lukewarm water until it forms a paste. This will act as an abrasive agent to scrub away the foundation.

Step 2: Apply the Paste

After your paste is ready, apply it to the stained area with a toothbrush. Be sure to scrub gently and avoid contact with mesh itself. The bristles will help break up the foundation particles.

Step 3: Rinse with Lukewarm Water

Once you've scrubbed the stained area, rinse off the paste with lukewarm water. Take care not to use overly hot water, as this can cause the mesh to shrink and distort.

Step 4: Let Dry

At this point, you should have successfully removed the foundation from your mesh. Now, simply let the mesh dry naturally. Avoid using a hairdryer or tumble dryer, as these can cause additional damage.
