2	A female character (usually an AbhorrentAdmirer or StalkerWithACrush) has her LoveInterest in clutches and stops to apply lipstick before attempting to kiss her target. This is usually PlayedForLaughs and more often than not, the target will run or escape just before getting kissed. May be an action by a character who is NothingNiceAboutSugarAndSpice. If the target is kissed, will most likely leave a LipstickMark.

15	* The "Magnetic Lipstick" episode in ''Manga/UruseiYatsura'' is built around this trope as Lum creates a special magnetic lipstick that pulls whoever's wearing it towards each other in order to force Ataru to kiss her, only for him to swipe it and attempt to trick the girls in his class to use it in order to get kisses from them, and some of the girls themselves attempting to use it to steal a kiss from Mendou with everyone's attempts ending in failure.
16	* In chapters 4 and 5 of "Manga/TuneInToTheMidnightHeart" Nene and Arisu are acting out a script for a voice audition and after realizing it involves a kiss scene, [[{{Tsundere}} Nene]] assumes that Arisu is [[PracticeKiss secretly planning to kiss her for real]], and puts on chapstick in anticipation. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] in that he turns her down for non-comedic reasons because he believes she should save it for someone she loves, but she secretly kisses him after the fact while he's sleeping
