How do you get makeup out of carpet?

Question

my son squeezed my tube of liquid concealer into his carpet and now I cannot get it out.

Answer 1

try nail polish remover, it works like magic!!!!

Answer 2

Did you try putting makeup remover on the stain? That might work to get it up and then try Resolve carpet cleaner or Shout stain remover.

Here's a tip I took from the DIY stain removal website:

"You can also try using Dawn dish soap as a removal agent.  As liquid makeup is oil based, Dawn works the best for cutting the stain.  Dawn was, after all, used to clean up birds and sea otters during crude oil spills.  As liquid makeup is oil based, the same method is used as in cleaning mascara stains. Brush or blot off any excess, and use a dry cleaning fluid such as K2r Spot Cleaning fluid, or Afta Cleaning Fluid to flush the stain.  (Be careful not to use on acetates!) Repeat as necessary until the stain is gone. [...]

There are many different ways to remove stains from cosmetics.  Many of the processes used work as well on carpet and furniture as well as clothing.  Determine if your makeup stain is oil based or non-oily, and proceed from there."
