Lips in Face Reading

In face reading, your lip shape reveals your expressiveness, sensuality, and communication style. Full lips indicate passion and emotional generosity. Thin lips suggest precision, self-control, and selectivity. A pronounced cupid's bow indicates artistic sensitivity.

The lips are the most mobile feature of the face and reveal how you express desires, communicate emotionally, and relate to sensory experience. Because lips change constantly with expression, they reveal the active, dynamic layer of personality.
