How can I get make up out of my wedding dress?

Question

Without having to go to the cleaners, how do I get make up out of my wedding dress?

Answer 1

you don't. You'll ruin it trying. Take it to the cleaners. It's worth it.

Answer 2

I do fashion shows and we use contact lens wetting solution to remove makeup from the necks of dresses. Gently saturate the spot and put a paper towel under the stain and on top- blot until the spot is almost dry. You may have to do it 3 or 4 times until the stain is gone.

Answer 3

The best thing to do would be to take it to the cleaners or the place you purchased it from so they can clean it. I got mine at David's Bridal and they have wedding gown preservation where they clean it and store it all pretty in a display box and it can't get dirty or yellowed. Do you really wanna try & clean it yourself & risk ruining it?

Answer 4

It depends on the make-up. Most of the time if you rub dry bread on the make-up if its foundation it will come off. Lipstick is harder due to the oils. You have to use denatured alcohol, blot only the lipstick stain (Be sure you use a cloth the same color as your dress) after you work most of it out rub the stain with dishsoap. If it still isn't gone, try a "stain stick".
