    The best way to clean a lipstick is to scrape off the top layer. Do this with a clean orangewood stick or spatula.

    Rubbing alcohol works well for removing lipstick stains from clothing. Dab it on the stain, then rinse with cool water.

    If you've washed and dried the clothes you may have set the stain. You can try placing a clean cloth over the stain and ironing it to soften the lipstick, then dabbing it with a stain remover or rubbing alcohol.

    Try using a spray cleaner. If there is a lot of lipstick on the fabric, scrape off as much as you can before treating it.

    If you're removing it at the end of the night, I recommend oil cleanser. It starts off as oil, and you rub it into your lips or skin. Then, once you add water, it becomes a milky consistency and turns into a cleanser.

    Blot the lipstick stain with rubbing alcohol, do not wipe it. The stain should come out, so put a little water on the spot and wait for it to dry.

    Just gently wipe it off with your fingers or a tissue, that will get it mostly off and should not harm your lips.

    Use waterproof-proof micellar water or face wash and wash your face, but gently. Let the soap work and don't scrub your skin raw.
