One website says attack the lipstick with denatured alcohol first
(presumably that attacks the grease element)
Another site recommends using a pre-wash stain remover to attack the grease.
Someone tipped over a dish of salad dressing on my Christmas tablecloth -
white with a red-checked cloth over the top. I just put neat dishwasher
liquid on it and rubbed it in before putting any water on it. The white
cloth took some of the red from the top cloth, and I did the same thing with
that and all the red dye came out.
This one seems to have a comprehensive list of "how to"

So what do you reckon should be tackled first - the fat or the
colour?Surely it will require some sort of heat and absorbent talc
to remove the fat.
Personally, I'd avoid any heat treatments till the dye was out. If we
don't know what (chemically) the dye is, we don't know if it'll be heat-
set. That's the real trick to this--being sure what is done to one
aspect of the stain won't interfere with what needs to be done to the
other, all the while not harming the fibers! Glad it's not my
bedspread, and *really* glad it's not my 2-year-old!
