blown kiss

Lip-launched loving gesture

A blown kiss is a gesture of affection performed by kissing one's fingertips or palm and then blowing toward the recipient, as if sending the kiss through the air.

It conveys warmth or farewell from a distance: She blew him a kiss from the departing train.

The gesture appears in emoji form as a face with puckered lips and a small heart.
