You can get the Herpes Simplex Virus which is basically your common cold sore. If you have a cold sore (oral herpes) you can transmit it to the genitals of someone else and then it becomes an STD. However, for the purpose of using a lipstick and getting oral herpes, it is not an STD.





Since you used a brush, your chances are slimmer but all sorts of factors come into play with cross contamination. If anyone who had a cold sore used the wand in the tube, or double dipped their brush then yes you could contract oral herpes.Can you get herpes from using the free makeup at stores?
As long as


A. The person had an STD and didn't bleed on the brush


OR


B. The person had an STD and didn't touch the contaminated area to the brush...
