Makeup on jacket collar?

[Deleted]

This may sound like a silly question..BUT...is there a way to prevent your foundation from staining your winter coat collar?  Or to clean it once it has?  Last year no matter what I did, the makeup would not come off of my black winter jacket. I bought 2 new winter coats and I really don't want this issue to happen again.  Any tips?

I don't know about preventing, but I've had good luck getting makeup out of fabric with Resolve carpet cleaner.

I am not an expert on this, but I think there is "setting powder" type stuff that you can apply all over your face once your whole look is done, and that keeps it on your face, and prevents it from rubbing off elsewhere.

If the coat is wool you can try using shampoo to help clean them.

I sometimes use a spray to set my makeup, but I don't think it makes a difference.   *-)

I have the same thing happened with a white Patagonia vest. I called Patagonia and asked how they recommend taking care for it and they said to use a light dished soap such as Dawn. It works pretty well but I feel like I'm constantly doing it all the time!

This is why you should wear a scarf- it's the buffer than can be more easily cleaned.

I use my scarf as a buffer between my coat and face. I wash my scarf weekly.

Hm but scarfs don't work when you're wearing a vest as part of an outfit

I can wash my north face coats on cold, but you probably don't want to always wash it.
