    Try rubbing shaving cream into the fabric to break down the makeup. Just be sure not to use it on wool or "dry clean only" fabrics.

    I rubbed denim with a makeup wipe because it had a matte lipstick stain, bright orange. The stain has gone but the denim area where I rubbed has now turned white. How can I fix this?
    Community Answer
    You could try staining the area using permanent marker of the same color. Depending on where the stain is and how large it is, this could work. You could also try buying denim patches, and either putting them on on the stain, or cutting the stain out and sewing one in.

    How do I get peel-off lip tint off a shirt? (The stain has faded but is still noticeable.)
    Community Answer
    You can use a razor to gently shave the top layer of the stain off. It should not create any holes, and will fade the stain more and expose a new area. Once you have this area it should wash off using one of the tips above.
