The word pursing is used almost exclusively to describe a certain facial expression, when someone is pursing their lips. The lips remain closed, but become more circular, with the ends drawing in and the center getting fuller. (This sounds like puckering, which is another thing people do with their lips, and it is actually quite similar, but puckering is more extreme. You might call it the exaggerated form of pursing.) Pursed lips generally convey that someone is thinking about something, perhaps a bit distractedly.
