white spirit.
It 'shouldnt' take any colour out of your carpet BUT try it on a little first, something in a corner or somewhere.

As you said it's foundation and oily, white spirit will cut through the oils.

I got OIL PAINT on my new carpe and din't know, so when I found it it was dried, and the white spirit still cleaned it and didn't damange my brown carpet.

I think it's time to get out the carpet shampooer. You can rent one if you don't own or know anyone who has one. The problem with oil-based stains is that you can't use water-based cleaning products to remove them. Try a heated shampooer, but I think you might be out of luck.

Get rid of the 2 year old..

If Goo-Gone doesn't work, I think you're stuck. Time to re-dye the carpet.

Try plain shampoo for oily hair or clarifying shampoo. Shampoo has great grease cutters in it.

must have been alot! I constantly get foundation on my carpet, but I use fairy liquid and that worked for me. Have you used stain removers like vanish or those special hoovers that liquid clean aswell as pick up rubbish?? Im not too certain but its worth a go!
