Thin
Overall visible upper and lower lip fullness is relatively light for the mouth width.

The 5 Lip Shapes
This lip shape detector compares five practical fullness relationships: thin, full, top-heavy, bottom-heavy, and balanced. Mouth width, Cupid’s Bow definition, contour roundness, central fullness, corner direction, and mouth opening provide supporting detail rather than changing the primary type by themselves.
Full
Both lips show pronounced visible fullness without one side clearly dominating the relationship.
Top-Heavy
The upper lip carries more visible height or area in relation to the lower lip.
Bottom-Heavy
The lower lip carries more visible fullness while the upper lip remains comparatively lighter.
Balanced
Upper and lower fullness appear relatively even and sit near the middle rather than either fullness extreme.
Measurement
Lip Shape Measurements That Matter
The lip shape analyzer reads nine related dimensions: relative mouth width, overall fullness, upper-to-lower balance, Cupid’s Bow definition and peak spacing, contour roundness, central fullness distribution, current corner direction, and current mouth opening.
Overall fullness and upper-to-lower balance decide the five primary types. Width explains the horizontal span, while the bow, roundness, and central distribution describe the contour in more detail. Corner direction and mouth opening are current photo states, so a relaxed gently closed mouth gives the clearest baseline.
Width and overall fullness
Separates horizontal mouth span from the visible amount of upper and lower lip tissue.
Upper-to-lower balance
Shows whether fullness is led by the top lip, bottom lip, both lips, or neither fullness extreme.
Bow, contour, and current state
Adds Cupid’s Bow, roundness, central fullness, corner direction, and mouth-opening context.
Comparison
Lip Shapes Compared
Similar lip types can share an upper-to-lower relationship while differing in total fullness.
| Easy to confuse | What they share | The deciding difference |
|---|---|---|
| Thin vs. Balanced | Neither lip clearly dominates the other. | Thin is decided by low overall fullness; balanced sits nearer the middle fullness range. |
| Full vs. Balanced | Both can have similar upper and lower proportions. | Full has stronger overall visible fullness; balanced remains closer to the middle. |
| Top-Heavy vs. Full | The upper lip can look visibly full in both. | Top-heavy depends on upper dominance; full keeps pronounced fullness across both lips. |
| Bottom-Heavy vs. Full | The lower lip can be prominent in both. | Bottom-heavy depends on lower dominance; full keeps both lips visibly full. |
Cupid’s Bow definition or a rounded center can coexist with any primary fullness type. Those contour details remain separate in the Complete Report.
Facial context
Lip Shape and Lower-Face Balance
Mouth width and lip fullness are read beside nose width, lower-face length, and chin contour. This context explains how the lips sit within the face without turning one ratio into a beauty standard.
Expression and makeup can change the visible result. Smiling stretches the mouth and reduces upper-lip height, pressed lips reduce fullness, and liner can redraw the edge. Use minimal lip product and a relaxed mouth for a natural baseline, or keep the finished look when you want the tool to describe that presentation.
To turn lip width, fullness, balance, and contour into optional placement choices, explore personalized makeup recommendations for liner direction and emphasis without shade or product matching.
Go Beyond the Lip Shape Label
The Complete Report keeps the primary fullness type and adds the nine measurements behind it, then connects those results to the nose, chin, lower face, and makeup guidance.

- Current corner direction and mouth opening plus nose, chin, and lower-face context.

FAQ
What else should you know about Lip Shape Detector?
What type of lips do I have?
Upload a clear photo with a relaxed mouth and the lip type detector will compare thin, full, top-heavy, bottom-heavy, and balanced patterns. Read the type together with width, fullness, balance, bow, and contour evidence.
Can my lips fit more than one type?
Yes. The primary type summarizes the strongest fullness relationship, while width, Cupid’s Bow definition, roundness, and central fullness remain separate characteristics.
Will smiling or lip makeup change the result?
It can. Smiling changes width and upper-lip height, while liner, lipstick, gloss, and filters can change the visible edge and fullness. Use a relaxed mouth with minimal product for a natural baseline.
Does the lip shape test recommend shades, fillers, or surgery?
No. It provides visible shape and optional placement context only. It does not select product shades or recommend fillers, injections, surgery, or other medical procedures.
