What do perfect lips look like?

In prep for this posting, I have read several articles on various botox and plastic surgery websites about the lips. The perfect lip would contain a defined Cupid’s bow as well as a well define vermillion boarder. This means there would be a sharp contrast between the skin of the lip and the facial skin. The lip body would be full and proportionate. The bottom lip would make up 60% of the entire lip structure. The corners of the lip should align with the center of the pupils of the eyes.

Those looking to experiment with lip fillers should be careful to not over fill their lips. Botox breaks down over time, and overfilled lips will be prone to sagging. It will also add to the weight carried by facial muscles and can lead to more wrinkles, making it harder to maintain optimum appearance. Overfilling lips can also destroy the Cupid’s Bow structure and blur the Vermillion Boarder.

Many books have perfect lips on their covers.

Golden’s classic explores the Japanese culture of the Geisha. In this culture a women’s appearance is paramount, her virginity is auctioned off to the highest bidder, and love is an illusion. Yet, these women still find fulfillment and empowerment.

A number of vampire literature contain lips on the cover. One example is:

Sookie Stackhouse is just a waitress in small town Louisiana until the vampire of her dreams walks into the bar. One of her coworkers goes missing, and the locals believe Sookie’s new boyfriend may be to blame.

Another example:

Bram Stoker’s classic explores the life of the bloodthirsty Count Dracula. The Count quickly becomes the symbol for all that is evil.

Several romance novels also use lips on the cover of their novels. One example is:

Reid’s novel of a Hollywood star calls to mind the life of Elizabeth Taylor. Evelyn Hugo chooses to tell her glamorous and scandalous story to Monique. They strike up a friendship was she prepares her memiors.
