NO risk.

Much more risk when sharing things like toothbrushes, razors.

Go enjoy life

Hepatitis C is transmitted via blood to blood. There would have had to been infected blood on the lipstick that made its way into a cut on your daughters lips. It sounds very unlikely but if your that concerned have her tested.

my doughter had sore in her lip and also I asked
her about her lipstick it was very cheap just £2.00 so I can't trust
that lipstick has some anti bacterial material inside I'm really worry for
my doughter she used it also for my 3 year old son but I could wash his lips and he had not any sore on his lip .
information in websites  really confused me I hope some body
who had experience tell me how many percent we have risk for hepatit c in this situation
