Make-up marks on soft furnishings can be difficult to remove. For foundation stains, check to see if the product is oil or water-based, advises professional make-up artist Saffron Hughes. Remove any excess and dampen the stain with cold water. If oil-based, add a teaspoon of dish soap, massage in and blot with a damp cloth. If it's water-based, use laundry detergent instead of washing-up liquid.
For lipstick, brush the stain with an old toothbrush, then spray it with hairspray. Let the stain sit, then wash as normal.
Meanwhile, mascara can be removed from upholstery using a cotton swab dipped in nail polish remover. Clean up any residue using another swab dipped in baby oil.
