as i recall its the feeet if they’re shown if not hands, if not hands hair. i forget if there’s multiple saints pictures, and usually aim for hands and feet of each. assuming that folks wearing lipstick haven’t smeared it all over the icon, at which point i generally go close to each.

Women should not be wearing lipstick to church; St. John Chrysostom explained that 1600 years ago. It's vain and it smears the holy images.
