You can always carry cotton in your bag and apply a bit of lipstick, where people don’t usually touch. Now you can apply the color over your lips, which is already there in your cotton ball. You can also use the same technique with cotton swab and then try over your lips. Generally we take a test patch over hands or fingers which are of different tone than our facial skin.

Now you can apply your lipstick once again and repeat the process. After two times, you need to place tissue paper over your lips so that the extra lipstick is transferred to tissue paper and then it would make your lip look perfect.
