lip print

Mouth's inked impression

A lip print is the mark left by lipstick or natural lip oils on a surface—a glass, a napkin, a collar, a letter.

Like fingerprints, the patterns of lines and grooves on lips are unique to each person, making lip prints occasionally useful in forensic identification.
