It didnt come out, I have several shirts where there are makeup stains up at the collar. Would dry cleaning work? Help!

I've had the same thing happen to me! Go to Walmart get Oxi-Clean laundry stain remover. It's chlorine free so you can use it on colors and whites. You're supposed to spray it on and let in soak in for 10 minutes, but its removed all of my stains in about 5...even set in stains like your makeup one! I don't know how I lived without this thing for so long, you'll love it!

If you put it in the dryer, you may well be out of luck as the heat would have set the stain. I pre-treat stains with Shout prior to washing. Some make up stains are harder than others to get out particularly lipstick but pre-treating can sometimes help. Dry cleaning has never been helpful with stains. You can try to pre-treat the stain and re-wash but I can't guarantee it will do anything if you dryed it already.

If you've already dried the shirt, chances are good that the makeup is there to stay. If the shirt is still wet, get some liquid laundry detergent, put it on the stain, and let it sit for about 45 minutes; then re-wash the garment.
Maybe it's time to find a girlfriend who doesn't wear so much makeup???
Good luck.

I don't know what to tell you. Go to the store and try everything you can find for stain removal. There are some really good sprays out there.

makeup has oil in it... use dawn dishwashing liquid first, then wash in machine. (also, vinegar is a natural degreaser...worth a try.)
Be Blessed!
