    Not brilliant, but worth a try!:D
    Mascara will normally be oil-based so you need a solvent. Now neat washing up liquid could do it, or why not try treating the stain with whatever eye make-up remover you use, ( as long as it's not oil-based:rotfl: ) You'll then need to wash again.
    You never get a second chance to make a first impression.

    I use oil of Eucalyptus avaialble in small bottles at chemists. Dab a small bit on the stain and then wash again.

    Usually does the trick and also removes your cold- you`ll recognize the smell!
