blowing a kiss
Sending lip love
Blowing a kiss is a gesture of affection performed by kissing one's fingertips or palm and then blowing toward another person, as if sending the kiss through the air.
It serves as a substitute for an actual kiss when distance or circumstances prevent physical contact: She blew a kiss from the departing train.
The gesture can be flirtatious, tender, or performative—celebrities blow kisses to crowds.
