Eyeshadow can present a unique challenge when you’re trying to figure out how to remove eye makeup from carpet. Why? Well, many eye shadows are oil based, which means they can be harder to clean.

You’ll need:

  • Hydrogen peroxide
  • Water
  • Microfiber cloths

Note: Hydrogen peroxide is best for lighter carpets, since it does have bleaching properties.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1
    Step 1
    Apply hydrogen peroxide

    Apply a couple of drops of hydrogen peroxide directly to the stain. Dab to distribute, but do not rub or scrub as this can embed the stain in the carpet fibers.

    Let this sit for one minute.

  2. 2
    Step 2
    Blot with dry cloth

    Blot clean with a dry microfiber cloth.

  3. 3
    Step 3
    Dampen with water

    Dampen a new microfiber cloth with clean water and use this to remove any traces of the hydrogen peroxide. Again, don’t scrub.

  4. 4
    Step 4
    Dry

    Use one last cloth to pat the area dry.

    Tip: This solution can also be used for other oil-based makeup products.
