Pre-Wash Treatment
If the stain looks light or is still fresh, pre-treating may be all that you need. Try to remove as much of the makeup as possible off the sweatpants by blotting with a damp cloth. Next, rub liquid laundry detergent onto both sides of the stained area, then soak the garment in cold water for half an hour. After this, wash the sweatpants in the machine as usual.
Borax
If the pre-wash treatment didn't do the trick, try borax. Borax will help break down any oils in the stain and dissolve it. Make a paste of borax and warm water, then apply it onto the stain. Leave it to sit for an hour or so and then rinse it off. Follow up with a machine wash.
Club Soda
If borax doesn't do job, another option is to use club soda. Saturate the stain with club soda and rub it in gently with a clean cloth. This helps to loosen the makeup particles so they can be removed more easily. Once you've finished, put the sweatpants into washing machine and allow them to go through a regular cycle.
Conclusion
With these three easy steps, you can now say bye-bye to makeup stains on your sweatpants! Pre-wash treatment, borax or club soda - take your pick and stain should be gone in no time. Now you can rock those sweatpants with confidence!
