For lipstick applying or putting would work, if you said painting people would still understand you but it's not regularly used. For nail polish you could say all three and still be correct.What verb is used for lipstick and nail? apply, paint or other?

For LIPSTICK use apply if you want to be accurate and for NAILPOLISH use either apply or put (but in an informal way of speaking).
