Let’s Talk About the Mouth
with Rob Silverman

1. BETWEEN THE LIPS

The space between the lips is not a straight line: The middle form of the top lip overlaps the lower lip and the 2 lateral forms of the lower lip overlap the upper lip.

2. LIP SIZE

The upper lip is usually wider than the lower lip.

3. LIP CREASES

The part between the lips does not end at it’s outer edges as a truncated line, but as a pouch-like node at the end, which is tilted toward the nose.
