Many people want to know how Mood Lipsticks actually work. For these individuals, the chemistry lesson is as follows:

The lipstick color change has nothing to do with the mood of the wearer. When the lipstick is applied to filter paper, in which one strip has been soaked in a dish of vinegar, and another strip has been soaked in a dish of baking soda solution, a color change will occur that will resemble the same change that is noticed when the lipstick is applied to skin. The lipstick is made with weak acid pigments that have a conjugate base form with a strikingly different color. The color pigment is a rather complex molecule with electrons that move freely over most of the molecular framework. The pigment has the particular color it has because this cloud of electrons selectively absorbs only certain wavelengths of light. Those wavelengths happen to be light in the visible range, 400 to 700 nm. When the pigment undergoes an neutralization reaction on the surface of the skin, there is a sharp change in the structure of the electron cloud. This sharply changes the wavelengths of light that the pigment absorbs, and the color of the lipstick changes. The pH of your skin is dependent on a number of factors, including such things as diet, stress, physical activity level, and monthly cycle.

These factors and the tremendous variety of natural skin colors probably cause some variation in the color from application to application. Thus, it can be said that these products are acid-base indicators.
