“Physiognomy is the assessment of character or personality from a person’s outer appearance, especially the face” says Wikipedia. But the lips in particular have always been intriguing, and have always been considered one of the most important features of a person’s face.
But scientists say that they can also reveal a lot about a person’s characteristics and personality. Here are 10 different lip shapes and what they determine about a person.
Full and puffy lips
People with full lips are known to be very maternal in nature. As a child, you would have been very kind and generous when it comes to stray animals and sharing with your friends. As you grow up, this trait grows as well. Your first instinct in a stressful situation is always to think about others and how you can help and protect them. And if you have kids, you are definitely a very good parent!
Larger Upper Lip
Drama queen alert! Those who have puffier upper lips and thinner lower lips have a knack for being the center of attention. They are the life of the party; confident, charismatic, fun, funny and definitely attention-drawing. They also can get emotional quite quickly, and this can be a recipe for disaster.
Larger Lower Lip
If you have puffy lower lips and a thin top lip, you are a daredevil! A nine-to-five job would probably bore the living lights out of you. You are curious in nature, and this curiosity wouldn’t allow you to sit on your butt the entire day. You were born to be on the move; you love to travel, meet new people, have different experiences and amazing adventures. You’re friendly and charming, meaning that you can make friends really quickly.
Ordinary lips
Are you a glass half full or half empty kind of person? If your lips fit the description here, then it’s probably the former, because you are a positive and optimistic person. That doesn’t mean you live on cloud 9, but you don’t like to be unnecessarily optimistic. This helps you get your work done in the best manner because you approach it with positivity and reality. You are a good listener and you respect others opinions. You rarely get angry and don’t take criticism too harshly, which is definitely a good attitude to have!
Thin lips
Those who have thin lips revel in solitude. They are loners, often preferring to do things by themselves, but that’s the way they like it. This kind of attitude can come in handy when they are facing a problem, because they’ve been programmed to be self-reliant. But that doesn’t mean they don’t enjoy the company of others, especially that of close friends and family.
An upper lip with a sharp philtrum
Creativity runs in their blood! They are passionate and driven, and might be in a creative industry like music or art. They are friendly, sociable, and very good at expressing themselves. They also have very sharp minds, and have especially good memories. This helps them keep up with all the people and things going on around them.
An upper lip with a rounded philtrum
People with lips like this are extremely kind, compassionate and friendly. They are great empathizers, meaning they feel the pain of others as if they were going through it themselves. If you have lips like these, you probably find your calling in doing charity and volunteer work, because it makes you feel fulfilled.
An upper lip without a philtrum
These are the most trustworthy and reliable people around. If you trust them to take care of something, there is no need to ask them twice because you know they’ll get it done. Punctuality and perfectionism are important to them, both in their work and others. If you’re having a hard time fixing something, they’ll be there to save the day with the perfect solution!
Small puffy lips
People with small puffy lips tend to have a motto of “me first”. You might think this makes them selfish, but really, it is the smartest way to go about life. This is because they aren’t going to step over to bring themselves up, they simply like to keep themselves from being harmed. Otherwise, they will be the first to help you whenever you need them.
A very thin upper lip
You are the boss! If you have lips like these, then you are probably confident, bossy, and extremely-hardworking. You are also charismatic, which coupled with your other characteristics makes you a good leader in terms of getting things done. You are also extremely competent and trustworthy, meaning if you set out to do something, there is no doubt that it will get done. Forming and maintaining romantic relationships can be hard for you, though, because you tend to give all to achieve success.
