pouty

Wearing a scowl

Pouty describes lips that are full and protruding, or a facial expression suggesting displeasure or sulkiness—the look of someone pushing their lower lip out in a pout.

The word often carries a slightly childish or petulant connotation: She gave him a pouty look when he said no.

In fashion and photography, pouty lips are desirable, suggesting sensuality rather than sulking.
