lipstick stain
Cosmetic collar evidence
A lipstick stain is the mark left behind when lipstick transfers to another surface—a collar, a glass, a cheek.
The phrase often carries romantic or scandalous undertones, suggesting intimacy or infidelity: He came home with a lipstick stain on his shirt.
Lipstick stains are notoriously difficult to remove from fabric.
