While there are several standalone options that may used to remove the stain, a multi-pronged approach combined with a little bit of patience will give you the best chance at success.
Things You Will Need
-
Scrape off any excess lipstick with dull knife, wiping the blade clean after each pass to avoid restaining the suede.
-
Apply a small amount of dry-cleaning solvent to the lipstick mark. Use a clean white cloth to blot the mark, using a fresh section of the cloth and additional solvent as the stain begins to transfer to the cloth. Repeat until the stain is gone or no longer absorbed onto the cloth.
-
Spray hairspray on any remaining stain and allow it to sit for approximately 10 minutes. Use a clean white cloth lightly moistened with warm water to wipe the dried hairspray and stain away.
-
Rub a brown art eraser lightly across the stain site to remove any residual oils and to freshen the suede nap.
