Isn't it a nightmare when you take off your once-sparkling whites and notice that there's a rim of orange foundation around the neckline, and somehow the gorgeous red lipstick you're wearing has transferred onto the collar too?
Previously, you'd probably have just bunged it in the wash and hoped for the best, but the best probably isn't good enough.
Well, worry about make-up stains no more because an organisation and cleaning guru has shared her secret to getting make-up stains out of clothes - using only one household staple.
Melbourne mum-of-two Chantel Mila, better known as Mama Mila, said she uses shaving cream to remove make-up stains such as foundation and lipstick from clothes.
"This is the ultimate stain removal hack make-up artists swear by", she said in a viral TikTok.

Chantel first applies shaving cream all over the stain, then she allows it to soak in for ten minutes.
After that, she uses a brush or cloth to scrub against the stain in circular motions. She then says: "You can see the stain reducing instantly."
She then washes the piece of clothing as she normally would in the washing machine and the stain is completely banished.
The hack was popular, with many thanking her for posting it, and some sharing their own methods to get rid of stubborn stains.
"This is so good", said one woman. "I also make a paste with baking soda and lemon and I apply it gently."
Another said: "You're absolutely a superhero. I have so many makeup stains on my light clothes with no idea how to remove them - until now!"
Chantel also shared the formula for a DIY spray that removes sweat stains from clothes in just 10 minutes.
She uses a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and dishwashing liquid to easily lift perspiration stains from clothes.
'This is the easiest way to remove underarm deodorant stains for good,' she captioned her video.
Chantel mixes in two parts of hydrogen peroxide with one part of dishwashing liquid in order to create the magical spray.
She then pours the mixture into a bottle and sprays it on the stained clothes, leaving it to soak for ten minutes.
"The powerful mixture will lift the stain right off", she said.
She then just washes the clothes as usual.
While the trick is usually used on white clothes, Chantel said 3% hydrogen peroxide and a shorter soak time should work fine on dark clothes.
However, she still recommends patch testing beforehand as different materials might react differently to the DIY mixture.
