What You'll Need:

  • A dry cloth or paper towel
  • Dishwashing liquid
  • A wet cloth
  • White vinegar
  • Cold water

Step 1: Blot the Stain

Start by using a dry cloth or paper towel to blot up as much excess mascara as possible. Don't rub the stain, as this can cause it to spread.

Step 2: Add Dishwashing Liquid

Put a few drops of dishwashing liquid on a wet cloth and gently work it into the stained area. Keep blotting the area until the stain no longer comes off on the cloth.

Step 3: Rinse and Repeat

Rinse the affected area with cold water and then repeat the process, if needed. If stain is still visible, add a few drops of white vinegar to the cloth and work it into stain in a gentle circular motion.

Step 4: Air-Dry

Once the stain is removed, rinse the area with cold water and let it air-dry completely.
