Using Detergent and Cold Water

If the stain is fresh and on surface, use a cloth soaked in detergent and cold water to dab at stained area. Gently rub fabric and then rinse off with cold water followed by patting it dry with a paper towel.

Using a Spot Cleaner

If the stain is too stubborn to remove with detergent, try using a spot cleaner specifically formulated for fabrics. Make sure to follow directions on the product carefully before applying it to your jacket.

Using Isopropyl Alcohol

If the stain persists, try using a small amount of isopropyl alcohol onto the affected area. Rub the alcohol into fabric with a cloth and wait until the stain disappears. Rinse off with cold water afterwards.

Using Hair Spray

Hair spray is another method used for removing stubborn lipstick stains from fabrics. Spray a small amount of the hairspray onto the stained area and wait until it dries completely. Afterwards, dab the area with a damp cloth until stain disappears.

Using Vinegar and Salt

This simple solution is great for removing stubborn lipstick stains from fabrics. Combine equal parts of vinegar and salt together and form a paste. Apply to the stained area and let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing off with cold water.
