   The kissing face emoji can represent a romantic kiss. Most often, the emoji implies romantic feelings. You can send this emoji to a crush, date, significant other, or spouse to essentially say, "I'd be kissing you right now if I could." Some people even use it to say, "I love you." ^[1]

   • "I had a great time on our date last night! We should do it again sometime. 😘"
   • "Hello, my love! Been thinking about you a lot today. 😘"

   The kissing face emoji can also be a platonic kiss. The 😘 emoji doesn't have to be romantic—blowing kisses can be done in a platonic sense, too. Many close friends and family members send this emoji to one another to say "I love you" over text.

   • "Thanks for coming over today, dad! It was great to see you. 😘"
   • "If I didn't bombard you with annoying texts, I wouldn't be your sister! 😘"

   The kiss mark emoji symbolizes a kiss. As the short-form version of the word "kiss," the 💋 emoji can be used in place of "kiss" or "kisses" rather than typing out the whole word. It can be used in either a romantic or platonic context.

   • "Sending you lots of 💋 today!"
   • "I'm gonna give you so many 🤗 and 💋 when I see you!"

   The kiss mark emoji is flirtatious and seductive. More often than not, the 💋 emoji is meant to be enticing and romantic; it has more steamy implications than other kissing emojis. When someone sends you the kiss mark emoji, they might be trying to get a little sultry with you!^[2]

   The kiss mark is also a sassy emoji. You can use the 💋 emoji if you're feeling a little cheeky. Remember the phrases "kiss something goodbye" or "kiss my butt"? Well, you can put a little extra emphasis on a sassy remark with a 💋 emoji to make sure your point gets across.

   • "I am so ready to kiss these exams GOODBYE. 💋"
   • "Anyone who takes me for granted can kiss me goodbye! 💋"

   The kiss mark emoji refers to makeup and beauty. Sometimes, the 💋 emoji can be a bit more literal! A kiss mark implies lipstick being left behind after a kiss, so when talking about cosmetics—particularly lipstick—the 💋 emoji can be a useful tool. You can use it to talk about applying lipstick, favorite makeup products, or about style and beauty in general.^[3]

   • "Omg, this new 💄 is amazing! 💋"
   • "I'm feeling particularly fierce today! 💋"

1. A kissing face emoji is more likely to be friendly than a kiss mark emoji. Both can have romantic vibes, but 😘 is a sweet emoji you can easily send a parent or friend. 💋 is more often used in steamy, sensual messages—although you can still give it a platonic or sassy context. Overall, both emojis can be used interchangeably or together to say "kiss" without fully writing the word.^[4]

   • "Hey, mom! Just wanted to check in and say, 'I love you!' 😘"
   • "Hi, girl! Let's hang out at the party this weekend! 💋"
   • "I'm really looking forward to tonight… 🥵💋"
   • "Sending you many kisses today, my love! 😘💋"
