How do I get makeup stains out of clothing?

I need help getting cover-up off of some clothing! (Bleach is not an option!) Thanks!

You can use shampoo or a dish detergent if it's an oily stain. More stubborn stains will require a non-oily make-up remover. Make sure not to dry any cloth that has stains present as this will make the stains impossible to remove. http://www.ehow.com/how_2038324_remove-makeup-stains-clothing.html has more information.

If you put in it the washing machine, put some viniger in with it, it takes any and almost every stain out of clothing

Thank's for trying to be so rude, Captain Obvious! I did wash it already and the stain is there. Don't bother commenting back, since obviously you are the smartest person on this blog!

Go into the bathroom and take a tissue or paper towel and wet it and twist it then, dab it slowly then add a little soap to (your tissue, anything) your wash cloth, anything soft. And start rubbing slowly and and a little more soap (liquid soap) (recommended) slowly and when wet and stain is gone, blow dry on low, but you can either do hot or warm.

If you put some nail polish remover on it, it may work.

A towel would help because you don't know how to keep makeup off of your clothes and why are you asking a weird dumm question like that

You could use this spray called Dreft (looks like it's for babies:not anymore!) you just spray it on and rub it in with a washcloth. Wet the washcloth, it doesn't matter if the water's hot or cold. Let it dry and then you're done!
