A perfect look is often ruined by a single detail. White shirt, perfect make-up, hair styled. Then a look in the mirror reveals a trace of powder on the collar of your white shirt. A small mistake that is impossible to ignore.
The collar of a white shirt is right next to the face and is therefore always in the center of attention. A trace of powder in this place works untidy, although it's not dirt, but a completely normal transfer of makeup from the skin to the fabric. It's the details that separate a neat look from an average one.
Why is the collar of a white shirt the most exposed?
Powder marks most often occur when you get dressed. When you pull a shirt over your head, the powder touches your face and neck, where makeup still fresh.
The powder contains pigments and binders designed to last on the skin, so it also adheres to textiles without any problems. Additional while wearing head movement causes friction, which imprints the makeup even more deeply into the fibers. The white color further emphasizes the contrast and makes the mark immediately visible.
An unexpected hairspray trick
Hairspray, due to its composition, can act as a protective layer that prevents powder from adhering directly to the fabric of a white shirt. It's a simple trick that has long been used backstage in the fashion industry and by stylists.

How to prevent powder marks before getting dressed
Prevention is key with this problem. Before you put on a white shirt, lightly dust the inside of the collar. spray with a thin layer of hairspray. The spray should be gently and evenly, without wet spots.
The varnish must dry completely. When dry, it creates an almost invisible protection, which reduces the adhesion of makeup to the fabric. This keeps the collar clean even when getting dressed quickly or after a long day.
When a trace of powder is already visible
If, despite your precautions, a trace of powder still appears on the collar of a white shirt, hairspray can also help afterwards. Spray the stain lightly from a distance, let it work a few seconds and then gently blot the area with a soft cloth or tissue. It is important to do not rub, as the pigment may smear even more.
The stain will gradually loosen from the fibers, and the collar of the white shirt will look much cleaner. Afterwards, it is recommended to wash the garment as usual.
