Don’t worry; we’re here to help you figure out what each lip emoji means and how you can use them to write and interpret messages in the future!

  1. It can replace the words “kiss” or “kissing” in a message or add extra emphasis at the end of a message that talks about kissing somehow. Use it when you want to send somebody you love a kiss.
    • “Wanna 💋 you so bad!”
    • “Thinking about kissing you right now… 💋”
  2. Because it looks like a lip print made by lipstick, there’s a sultry quality to the 💋 emoji. Couples often use it to flirt, entice, or outright seduce their partner through messages. Use it when you want to show someone that you’re ready to turn up the heat![1]

  3. While it’s often considered flirty or seductive, it’s also common practice to send 💋 to someone you’d comfortably kiss on the cheek or forehead—a best friend or family member, for example. It’s a great way to say, “Love you, friend!”
    • “Girl, you’re amazing. Thanks for the help yesterday! 💋”
    • “I hope you’re having a lovely day, mom! 💋”
  4. When someone talks about kissing in a playful or sarcastic context, they might use the 💋 emoji for emphasis. It can also be used as a cheeky follow-up after saying something with a little too much honesty.
    • “I’m not saying a word! My lips are sealed. 💋”
    • “You can keep talking, but I don’t actually care that much. 💋”
    • “If you want that, you’d better 💋 your wallet goodbye!”
