Less likely: Allergic contact dermatitis from lipstick is possible but it likely would affect the entire surface where the lipstick was applied and not just one corner. In addition, the usual symptom is intense itching, mild swelling and the occasional small blisters. It might be helpful to take the lipstick to your allergist or dermatologist and see if an allergen can be identified, then testing can be done.
