Do you have HSV1? It does look somewhat like cold sores.

Never gotten it there only small spots on my bottom lip

If you have HSV1 then you should assume this is what it is. Given it’s on your face you need to throw any makeup and brushes away that was touched. Do you usually get it in this area?

Yeah I do, it appeared after my roommates girlfriend did my makeup she was using her hands so idk if is is just a cold sore it's been getting bigger since last night

This looks like impetigo. It’s a staph infection that spreads. You’ll need an antibiotic ointment (I get impetigo literally monthly). It will typically keep spreading. Cold sores don’t really spread, but impetigo can get everywhere.
