The hack
Using hairspray to save your collars from makeup transfer.
The test
I have this beautiful Batsheva dress I’ve never worn. Why? Simply because it’s white, and every time I look at it lovingly on its hanger, I know that I will get makeup all over it when I do eventually wear it. So I am very invested in this hack that has become popular online, where you spray the collar of your white clothing to prevent makeup transfer. I mentioned it to a stylist friend who says she does it to clothes before her clients put them on.
I spritz my white dress all around the collar with hairspray before slipping it over my head with that familiar feeling of dread. But, I look down and there is zero hint of transfer – although, annoyingly, I do end up getting some on it later in the day. I’m still impressed, but regret using a natural-hold hairspray.
Hairsprays are made of different kinds of polymers, chosen depending on the degree of hold, and a stronger-hold spray would definitely create a more impenetrable barrier. But, either way, I’m elated; maybe my Batsheva frock will go to the ball after all?
The verdict
This hack is definitely worth a go. Spray it along the collar, and maybe the cuffs too – anywhere that could end up in makeup/tan/grime of any kind.
