Line #35 PlayingWith/DruggedLipstick


1	'''Basic Trope''': Lipstick or other cosmetics laced with drugs or poison.
2	* '''Straight''': [[TheVamp Alice]] wears lipstick laced with poison and seduces Bob. When she kisses him, he absorbs the full dose of the poison. [[FridgeLogic (Why Alice is immune is not explained.)]]
3	* '''Exaggerated''': Alice wears full makeup laced with the toxin, as well as perfume and lotion, so that no matter ''how'' Bob makes contact with her, he'll get poisoned.
4	* '''Downplayed''': The poison only makes Bob ill; it does not outright kill him.
5	* '''Justified''':
6	** The lipstick is an effective delivery system for the toxin.
7	** The substance in the lipstick is some kind of illicit drug, and Alice is wearing (or carrying) the lipstick to not get caught either getting high or transporting the drug.
8	** Alice is a {{Yandere}} who is trying the TakingYouWithMe approach on her LoveInterest, hoping they'll be TogetherInDeath.
9	** The lipstick is laced with peanuts, to which Bob is allergic, but Alice isn't. When he kisses her, he dies of an allergic reaction.
10	** Alice has AcquiredPoisonImmunity.
11	** Alice is immune because she's actually a robot.
12	** The lipstick is applied on top of a coating that protects Alice from it.
13	* '''Inverted''':
14	** Alice is on the ''receiving'' end of the poison kiss, not the giving end.
15	** Bob replaces Alice's ordinary, harmless lipstick with one containing chemicals that will knock her out shortly after she puts it on.
16	* '''Gender Inverted''': The one wearing the lipstick is Bob.
17	* '''Subverted''': Alice is InDaClub, and takes out what ''looks'' like an illicit drug, but is actually a breath mint.
18	* '''Double Subverted''': The mint has been laced with a drug or poison, and she kisses Bob with her minty-fresh and deadly breath.
19	* '''Parodied''': Beautygirl Cosmetics markets their lipstick as [[NewAndImproved Now 100%]] [[AsbestosFreeCereal drug-free!]]
20	* '''Zig Zagged''': ???
21	* '''Averted''':
22	** Alice doesn't lace her makeup with drugs or poison.
23	** Alice doesn't wear makeup of any kind.
24	* '''Enforced''': "We need to [[{{Pun}} paint]] Alice as a real FemmeFatale."
25	* '''Lampshaded''': "Your kiss is like poison..."
26	* '''Invoked''': Alice becomes part of a Rave culture that involves [[SexDrugsAndRockAndRoll drugs]] and/or is being used as a HoneyTrap on someone else at the club.
27	* '''Exploited''': Alice kisses Bob on the lips so he gets poisoned.
28	* '''Defied''':
29	** Alice worries about the potential hazards and uses more... Conventional ways of either getting high or delivering poison.
30	** Alternatively, [[ClubKid Alice]] doesn't understand the need for drugs to enjoy lights, music, and dancing; she's just there to have a good time and doesn't feel the need to get herself or others high to do so.
31	* '''Discussed''': ???
32	* '''Conversed''': ???
33	* '''Implied''': Bob kisses Alice. Cue the TimeSkip with him in the hospital.
34	* '''Deconstructed''': These chemicals present a hazard to Alice, as much as Bob.
35	* '''Reconstructed''':
36	** ...That would be the case, if she didn't had AcquiredPoisonImmunity to them.
37	** Or, Alice makes sure that ''only'' Bob is targeted, as by SlippingAMickey in a drink that she buys for him.
38	* '''Played For Laughs''': Alice comes across as an AbhorrentAdmirer.
39	* '''Played For Drama''': Alice didn't mean to poison Bob. Clair put the poison in Alice's lipstick.
