I was depotting an Urban Decay Naked 2 palette last night and had the black shade crumble all over my countertop. No biggie, I rarely wear black eyeshadow anyway. I went to wipe it off with a baby wipe immediately and then wiped again with a wet cloth. Unfortunately, the streaks are still there this morning and are very obvious. My next attempt was some soft scrub and a kitchen sponge with scrubby backside. Nope, still there, never seen such a powerful eyeshadow before
Anyone have any ideas on how to remove this stuff without destroying my counter further? The counter is granite or quartz, can't remember which.
Could it be a marble counter? If so those definitely stain. I thought granite doesn't if sealed. I have spilled turmeric and seen a little residual yellow. My granite counter is dark but the tint seemed to go away, and I didn't put in a lot of effort.
Have you tried bon ami? It is a cheap and gentle cleanser. Definitely worth a try. You can use to for pots / sinks / tubs if doesn't work out for this. I love it.
This probably sounds crazy, but it worked on my cultured marble for hairspray droplets: just plain old rubbing alcohol. I don't know if it works on makeup but I'd love to know if it does. I use the bon ami on my tile and it works great but that's the extent of my experience with it. Good luck.

The rubbing alcohol actually worked really well, thank you!

If it came off the easy ... I would be surprised if the surface was granite or marble. From my experience it is really hard to remove stains from these surfaces. I regret using granite in my home.
I use hydrogen peroxide for most any stain. If it is a stubborn stain, I put a hydrogen peroxide soaked piece of white bread on stain overnight.
