History Main / DruggedLipstick

* There's a variation in ''Manga/BloodyCross'' where Hinata uses his ''tongue'' to apply a spell to knock Tsukimiya out under the guise of [[LecherousLicking examining]] the [[BuxomIsBetter location]] of her curse mark.

->''"That's why I [[AnywhereButTheirLips never kiss 'em on the mouth]]."''

* Appears in ''Fanfic/WithThisRing'', where the main character finds it ridiculous.

** In her earliest appearances, Poison Ivy is shown applying drugged lipstick to create her toxic kisses, something she uses against Harvey Dent and Batman in her first episode. Later episodes make the poisonous kisses natural, and show her creating doctored lipstick for Harley Quinn to use in order to cause the same effect. Whether this is a [[RetCon retcon]] or an implication that Ivy's powers evolved over time (a reasonable hypothesis, given other changes, like her skin color) is unknown, but as she does possess an antidote to her own poisons and was later shown giving Harley Quinn an injection for the same, it can be assumed that even in her earliest appearances she'd already treated herself to prevent from being poisoned.

->''"That's why I never kiss 'em on the mouth."''

* ''Magazine/DoctorWhoMagazine'': In "The Broken Man", Amy Pond escapes from an [=MI6=] agent by kissing him with a drugged lipstick (implied to be gift from River Song).

* In a ''Anime/HeatGuyJ'' {{Yaoi}} fanfic called [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2718711/1/In_A_Different_Light "In A Different Light,"]] there is a mention of a fantasy club-drug called Black Tab being mixed into lipstick and eyeliner, so that the wearer can absorb them into his/her skin and get high without, say, getting caught with a bag of pills.

* The flavor text for the Adder's Kiss poison in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' deconstructs his in the expected way.
-->''An Antivan noble killed his adulterous wife by coating his lips with this poison and kissing her. [[HoistByHisOwnPetard He died as well.]]''

* The LesYay UsefulNotes/HongKong action movie ''Film/NakedKiller'' (1992): Poisoned lipstick is used on a couple of occasions.

A character--usually a woman, often TheVamp--wears lipstick with some sort of drug or poison in it, with the result that anyone who kisses her is affected by it. As for why the wearer herself isn't harmed, it may be explained that she is either naturally immune or took the antidote beforehand.

** ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'':
*** This was a favorite tactic of ComicBook/PoisonIvy in her early appearances in the comics. Gradually she gained the ability to [[PoisonousPerson generate poisons in her body]], negating the need for the drugged lipstick.
*** ''ComicBook/BatmanTheDarkKnightReturns'': ComicBook/TheJoker uses lipsticks with a variety of effects. One type essentially hypnotizes the people he kisses; he uses this to put Selina Kyle and at least two of her call girls under his control, with the call girls then using it to mind-control people into trying to kill themselves. Another is laced with Joker venom, which he uses to kill Dr. Ruth Weisenheimer on-stage during his appearance on ''The David Endochrine Show''.
** One Franchise/{{Superman}} villainess infected the Man of Steel with a form of Kryptonite-like cancer by kissing him with drugged lipstick.
** ''Franchise/TeenTitans'' rogue [[Characters/TeenTitansCheshire Cheshire]] is a FemmeFatale MasterPoisoner, so unsurprisingly she sometimes keeps her lipstick poisoned. In one instance in ''ComicBook/SecretSix'' she lured one man into a false sense of security by kissing him... and then [[LipLosses bit off a man's lower lip]], and then he started foaming at the mouth before he died implying she's [[AcquiredPoisonImmunity internalized a number of poisons]].

A character (naturally, usually a woman, of TheVamp sort) wears lipstick with some sort of drug or poison in it, with the result that anyone who kisses them is affected by it. Only very rarely is it explained [[FridgeLogic why the wearer of the lipstick is immune]] (in all likelihood, they have access to an antidote they take beforehand).

** Princess Myrcella is given a goodbye kiss by Ellaria Sand. [[spoiler:Unfortunately her lips are coated with a delayed-action poison which kills her a short time later. Ellaria just takes the antidote after the princess has left.]]
** In Season 7, [[spoiler:Cersei returns the favor to Ellaria by kissing her daughter, Tyene, which the same poison used to kill Myrcella and forcing her to watch her daughter die and rot in chains. Like Ellaria's own example Cersei quickly wipes the lipstick off after delivering the kiss and Qyburn hands her an antidote.]]

[[folder:Film — Live-Action]]

* In ''Film/LaReineMargot'', the resident MasterPoisoner gives Henri of Navarre's lover some poisoned lipstick. An unusual example in that this ''does'' in fact kill the woman wearing it; she was an UnwittingPawn and was deemed expendable as long as she inadvertently killed her target. [[spoiler: She failed, the poison was too fast-acting and it killed her before she got a chance to use it on him.]]

[[folder:Live Action TV]]

* ''Series/DoctorWho'': River Song uses hallucinogenic lipstick in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E4TheTimeOfAngels "The Time of Angels"]], and [[ContinuityNod again]] in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E12ThePandoricaOpens "The Pandorica Opens"]] — twice. Finally, she uses it a fourth time on [[spoiler:the Doctor himself]] in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E8LetsKillHitler "Let's Kill Hitler"]]. Except this time [[spoiler:it's poisoned]].

-->'''Simon:''' A narcotic compound, probably spread over a seal on her lips. You get it on yours and pow. We used to get a lotta guys brought in on the night shift at the E.R.--usually robbed, very groggy. They called it the "goodnight kiss".

* ''Series/MurdochMysteries'': In "Painted Ladies", the killer is a woman who wears lip rouge laced with cyanide (coating her own lips with wax to protect herself) and then seduces men into kissing her. As they do, she bites their lip: drawing blood and allowing the cyanide to enter their bloodstream. Both Murdoch and Julia remark that she is taking a hude rish using this as a means of assassination, even with the wax on her lips.

* ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987'': Feathers Galore in "Double-O-Duck". After figuring out Launchpad isn't Bruno, she tries to kill him by kissing him after applying poisoned lipstick. He gets away, of course.

* ''ComicBook/TheDarkKnightReturns'' shows us why it is a ''[[KillEmAll very]] [[MasterPoisoner bad]] [[OmnicidalManiac idea]]'' to let ComicBook/TheJoker bring along his own lipstick to a [[ItMakesSenseInContext talk show taping]].
