Is a lipstick patented?
Short answer: specific designs of a lipstick have been patented many times, but "a lipstick" as a general idea is not what is protected. What matters is the exact combination of features in your version.

What this means for your idea
Because patents cover specific combinations of features, the useful question is not “has a lipstick been patented?” but “has my combination of features been described before?” Beauty and personal-care patents focus on application mechanisms, heads/bristles, and heating or vibration features.
