Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The soreness in the jaw and swelling over the lip could be because of the allergic or hypersensitivity to the lipstick or it can be secondary to any tooth or gum infection. The infection can result in pus formation and spread to the lip and cheek region.
Consult a oral physician and get yourself examined to rule out these two conditions.
If it is because of the allergy, stop using that lipstick and you can take antihistamines like cetrizine.
If it is because of the infection then take a course of antibiotics and get the gum and teeth treated with root canal treatment and scaling respectively.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
