Please be careful not to get lipstick on the clothes.
Or perhaps,
Please be careful not to let the clothes touch your lipstick.

I would use a short
Avoid staining clothes with lipstick.
ACCEPTED ANSWER
Score 4
The given sentence can be made grammatically correct with very little modification:
Watch your lipstick carefully so it does not touch the clothes you are trying on.
However, I recommend the following as less awkward. Phrases in brackets are optional, with vertical bars separating equivalent options. The fewer words, the more brusque it sounds. Somewhere in there is a balance between politeness and conciseness.
[Please] [be careful to|carefully] keep [your] lipstick off [the|our] clothes [you are trying on]
I personally like:
Please be careful to keep lipstick off the clothes. Thank you!
