Lipstick

Lipstick is a great vehicle for lip prints to be left behind. Lip prints have distinctive characteristics that can be unique to certain people and can be carelessly left behind on cups, cigarette butts, and potentially the victim's body. Analysis through chromatography allows a forensic scientist to analyse the major components of the lipstick. Lip fullness, grooves, dips, etc. are distinguishing characteristics found in lips.
