What do cosmetic counters use to sanitize lipstick? Do you know of a way to sanitize it? ?

Question

I let a stranger use my lipstick on a cruise when we were playing a game but I still want the lipstick. What should I do?

Answer 1

they don't sanitize the lipstick

i know one lady who sanitizes the q-tip she uses when she applies the lipstick on someone who like it  

Answer 2

I have a friend who does make-up at Ulta & she told me they use a razor to cut of the portion og the lipstick used.

Answer 3

Cosmetic counters usually apply lipstick to clients with a q-tip, not directly from the stick itself.

You can cut off a bit of the lipstick to sanitize it - shave off the exposed parts in a way.
