pouty lips

Kissable protruding mouth

Pouty lips are lips that protrude slightly, either from sulking or as a naturally full, sensual feature.

The phrase spans disapproval and attraction—a child's pouty lips signal a tantrum brewing, while a model's pouty lips are deliberately cultivated: She practiced her pouty lips in the mirror.

The pout suggests both petulance and allure.
