When wearing light colored clothing, the last thing you want to worry about is whether or not your makeup is going to rub off on your clothing. However, through a combination of preventative actions and some basic maintenance steps, getting makeup on clothing can be easily prevented. By starting with well prepared skin as the foundation and being attentive to your makeup throughout the day, you won't find yourself dabbing makeup out of your clothing anymore.

Wash your face with facial cleanser to remove oils and dirt. Dry your face and then apply a moisturizer that is appropriate for your skin type.

2

Select a foundation color that appropriately matches and compliments your skin color. Selecting the right color will prevent overuse and application of foundation on the neck area.

3

Apply a primer as a base coat before the foundation. This prepares the face for makeup and allows the foundation to stay put all day.

4

Apply the foundation by starting at the portion of your face and move downward. Blend the foundation and use a bit less as you get closer to your neckline.

5

Stop applying the foundation near your chin line and blend onto your face. If you have selected the appropriate color, you will not need to continue applying the foundation along your neck.

6

Blot your skin with blotting papers throughout the day, especially if you have oily skin, to reset the make up and prevent shifting of the foundation.

Tips & Warnings

If all other solutions fail, keep eye makeup remover wipes handy, which can be used to dab the foundation off of clothing.
