And if you&#8217;re not so jazzed about your natural pout? We live in the era of options to get you the lips you so desire.

Because of this, her lips are heart-shaped,&#8221; plastic surgeon Dr. Z. Paul Lorenc says. Heart-shaped lips have the greatest fullness at the center, getting visibly less full toward the edges. The Cupid&#8217;s bow is distinguished, with two distinct peaks and a visible dip in the center. To sweeten up these lips even more, wear a sexy red or a flirty pink hue.

Similar to the &#8220;Cherub Lip&#8221; trend seen on TikTok, this &#8220;started as a technique but now means doll-like lips with a pronounced Cupid&#8217;s bow,&#8221; she explains.\u00a0&#8220;Filler that is done this way can be tricky so it is important to go to an experienced injector for Russian lips.&#8221; To achieve a similar look at home, use dark liner on the outer corners of the lips and switch to a lighter liner as you graduate toward the center. You can double-up and recreate the same gradient with lipstick for a fuller-at-the-center pout.

In order to give a woman the lip shape she desires, Lorenc uses both filler and neuromodulators such as Botox and Xeomin. &#8220;I not only fill the lips in different areas and with different amounts of filler,&#8221; Lorenc explains, &#8220;but Botox and Xeomin are also used to lift the corners of the mouth and get rid of any existing wrinkles.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_23-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Puffy Lips <\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_24-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image figure-square figure-high-res\">\n<div class=\"figure-media\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"2000\" alt=\"Priyanka Chopa Jonas Full puffy Lip shape\" class=\"lazyload mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" id=\"mntl-sc-block-image_5-0\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/gettyimages-1497133163-c5f03bf5faa74f9e8a6e5ba26e2263b2.webp\" title=\"gettyimages-1497133163-c5f03bf5faa74f9e8a6e5ba26e2263b2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/gettyimages-1497133163-c5f03bf5faa74f9e8a6e5ba26e2263b2.webp\" width=\"2000\" height=\"2000\" class=\"img--noscript mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"Priyanka Chopa Jonas Full puffy Lip shape\" title=\"gettyimages-1497133163-c5f03bf5faa74f9e8a6e5ba26e2263b2\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_5-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"><span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>Daniele Venturelli\u00a0\/\u00a0Getty<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_25-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Where there&#8217;s a conversation about lips, Kylie Jenner&#8217;s pillowy pout almost always comes up. It&#8217;s been years since she first debuted her bee-stung lips, but the obsession with full lips (and fillers) is still going strong. She has what Dr. Lorenc calls <em>puffy lips<\/em>: full and pillowy on the top and bottom. Priyanka Chopra Jonas is another superstar whose lips have this coveted shape. To cheat the look, all you need is matte lipstick and matching lip liner. Of course, Kylie herself has you covered\u2014she created her signature lip kits for this exact purpose.\n<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_27-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Hollywood Lips <\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_28-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image figure-square figure-high-res\">\n<div class=\"figure-media\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"2000\" alt=\"Angelina Jolie Hollywood Lips lip shape\" class=\"lazyload mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" id=\"mntl-sc-block-image_6-0\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/gettyimages-1236164264-d1ec7ecd46ce4fca9697893901dd8750.webp\" title=\"gettyimages-1236164264-d1ec7ecd46ce4fca9697893901dd8750\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/gettyimages-1236164264-d1ec7ecd46ce4fca9697893901dd8750.webp\" width=\"2000\" height=\"2000\" class=\"img--noscript mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"Angelina Jolie Hollywood Lips lip shape\" title=\"gettyimages-1236164264-d1ec7ecd46ce4fca9697893901dd8750\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_6-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"><span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>Dave Benett\u00a0\/\u00a0Getty<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_29-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> And the most requested shape is the Hollywood lip! Is it any wonder? Angelina Jolie is this sexy pout&#8217;s poster girl. &#8220;[She] has both a full upper and lower lip. She doesn&#8217;t have a very accentuated Cupid&#8217;s bow but instead a rounded upper lip,&#8221; Lorenc says. In his practice, patients come in seeking Angelina Jolie&#8217;s covetable pout year after year. For a similar look, use lip liner to trace over your Cupid&#8217;s bow in a rounded arc rather than defining each individual peak.<\/p>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_31-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-faq--expanded beauty-sc-block-faq mntl-sc-block-faq mntl-block is-expanded\">\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block-faq__title_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-faq__title mntl-text-block\">FAQ<\/div>\n<ul id=\"mntl-sc-block-faq__content_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-faq__content mntl-accordion \" data-tracking-container=\"true\">\n<li class=\"accordion__item js-accordion-item is-active\" data-ordinal=\"1\">\n<div class=\"accordion__header js-accordion-trigger\" id=\"mntl-accordion__item_1-0-section-0\"><span class=\"accordion__title\">What are heart-shaped lips?<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"accordion__body\">\n<div id=\"mntl-accordion__content_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-accordion__content\">\n<div class=\"faq-accordion__item-answer\">\n<p>Heart-shaped lips are characterized by prominent plumpness in the center, a well-defined Cupid&#8217;s bow, and gradually diminishing fullness toward the edges.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"accordion__item js-accordion-item is-active\" data-ordinal=\"2\">\n<div class=\"accordion__header js-accordion-trigger\" id=\"mntl-accordion__item_2-0-section-1\"><span class=\"accordion__title\">What is the rarest lip shape?<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"accordion__body\">\n<div id=\"mntl-accordion__content_2-0\" class=\"comp mntl-accordion__content\">\n<div class=\"faq-accordion__item-answer\">\n<p>The Cupid&#8217;s bow, or heart-shaped lip, is the rarest as it is defined by two distinct peaks outlining the Cupid&#8217;s bow, a slight dip in the middle of the lower lip, and concentrated fullness in the center of the pout.

Because of this, her lips are heart-shaped,&#8221; plastic surgeon Dr. Z. Paul Lorenc says. Heart-shaped lips have the greatest fullness at the center, getting visibly less full toward the edges. The Cupid&#8217;s bow is distinguished, with two distinct peaks and a visible dip in the center. To sweeten up these lips even more, wear a sexy red or a flirty pink hue. We love the peppy pink, glossy sheen of YSL Beauty Candy Glaze Lip Gloss Stick in Flashing Ros\u00e9.\n<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_11-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Natural Lips <\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_12-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image figure-square figure-high-res\">\n<div class=\"figure-media\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"2000\" alt=\"Sofia Vergara with natural lips at 2024 Vanity Fair Oscar Party\" class=\"lazyload mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" id=\"mntl-sc-block-image_2-0\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/gettyimages-2074470363-06839dce90214904bceb56093faf84f0.webp\" title=\"gettyimages-2074470363-06839dce90214904bceb56093faf84f0\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/gettyimages-2074470363-06839dce90214904bceb56093faf84f0.webp\" width=\"2000\" height=\"2000\" class=\"img--noscript mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"Sofia Vergara with natural lips at 2024 Vanity Fair Oscar Party\" title=\"gettyimages-2074470363-06839dce90214904bceb56093faf84f0\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_2-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"><span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>Jamie McCarthy\u00a0\/\u00a0Getty<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_13-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;In my practice which includes patients from their 20s to their 70s, women most often want their own shape\u2014just enhanced,&#8221; says plastic surgeon Katarina Gallus, MD.\u00a0&#8220;They would like a little fullness but stay with the proportions that they have.\u00a0This tends to give the most subtle natural look.&#8221; She names Sofia Vergara as a celebrity torchbearer for this irresistible look.

Similar to the &#8220;Cherub Lip&#8221; trend seen on TikTok, this &#8220;started as a technique but now means doll-like lips with a pronounced Cupid&#8217;s bow,&#8221; she explains.\u00a0&#8220;Filler that is done this way can be tricky so it is important to go to an experienced injector for Russian lips.&#8221; To achieve a similar look at home, use dark liner on the outer corners of the lips and switch to a lighter liner as you graduate toward the center. You can double-up and recreate the same gradient with lipstick for a fuller-at-the-center pout. To amplify the look further, add concealer to the edges to make the lips appear narrower.\n<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_19-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Perfectly Proportioned Lips <\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_20-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image figure-square figure-high-res\">\n<div class=\"figure-media\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"2000\" alt=\"Rihanna perfectly proportioned lip shape\" class=\"lazyload mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" id=\"mntl-sc-block-image_4-0\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/gettyimages-2149038798-9d30e500b2274f7ba0a67af97c7b1172.webp\" title=\"gettyimages-2149038798-9d30e500b2274f7ba0a67af97c7b1172\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/gettyimages-2149038798-9d30e500b2274f7ba0a67af97c7b1172.webp\" width=\"2000\" height=\"2000\" class=\"img--noscript mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"Rihanna perfectly proportioned lip shape\" title=\"gettyimages-2149038798-9d30e500b2274f7ba0a67af97c7b1172\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_4-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"><span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>Neil Mockford\u00a0\/\u00a0Getty<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_21-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Is there such a thing as perfect lips?

She has what Dr. Lorenc calls <em>puffy lips<\/em>: full and pillowy on the top and bottom. Priyanka Chopra Jonas is another superstar whose lips have this coveted shape.

Because of this, her lips are heart-shaped,&#8221; plastic surgeon Dr. Z. Paul Lorenc says. Heart-shaped lips have the greatest fullness at the center, getting visibly less full toward the edges. The Cupid&#8217;s bow is distinguished, with two distinct peaks and a visible dip in the center. To sweeten up these lips even more, wear a sexy red or a flirty pink hue.

Similar to the &#8220;Cherub Lip&#8221; trend seen on TikTok, this &#8220;started as a technique but now means doll-like lips with a pronounced Cupid&#8217;s bow,&#8221; she explains.\u00a0&#8220;Filler that is done this way can be tricky so it is important to go to an experienced injector for Russian lips.&#8221; To achieve a similar look at home, use dark liner on the outer corners of the lips and switch to a lighter liner as you graduate toward the center. You can double-up and recreate the same gradient with lipstick for a fuller-at-the-center pout. To amplify the look further, add concealer to the edges to make the lips appear narrower.\n<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_19-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Perfectly Proportioned Lips <\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_20-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image figure-square figure-high-res\">\n<div class=\"figure-media\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"2000\" alt=\"Rihanna perfectly proportioned lip shape\" class=\"lazyload mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" id=\"mntl-sc-block-image_4-0\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/gettyimages-2149038798-9d30e500b2274f7ba0a67af97c7b1172.webp\" title=\"gettyimages-2149038798-9d30e500b2274f7ba0a67af97c7b1172\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/gettyimages-2149038798-9d30e500b2274f7ba0a67af97c7b1172.webp\" width=\"2000\" height=\"2000\" class=\"img--noscript mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"Rihanna perfectly proportioned lip shape\" title=\"gettyimages-2149038798-9d30e500b2274f7ba0a67af97c7b1172\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_4-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"><span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>Neil Mockford\u00a0\/\u00a0Getty<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_21-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Is there such a thing as perfect lips?

For a your-lips-but-better look, grab a lip liner that matches your natural lip color, or is one to two shades darker, and practice lining to achieve your desired shape.\n<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_15-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Russian Lips <\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_16-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image figure-square figure-low-res\">\n<div class=\"figure-media\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"750\" alt=\"A woman with a pronounced Cupid's bow\" class=\"lazyload mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" id=\"mntl-sc-block-image_3-0\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/cherublips-8af8eedb3fd4482c85efe-9670725f1a4d4d17b62fe34eb7955e87.webp\" title=\"cherublips-8af8eedb3fd4482c85efe-9670725f1a4d4d17b62fe34eb7955e87\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/cherublips-8af8eedb3fd4482c85efe-9670725f1a4d4d17b62fe34eb7955e87.webp\" width=\"750\" height=\"750\" class=\"img--noscript mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"A woman with a pronounced Cupid's bow\" title=\"cherublips-8af8eedb3fd4482c85efe-9670725f1a4d4d17b62fe34eb7955e87\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_3-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"><span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>@LACYREDWAY \/ Instagram<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_17-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;Russian lip filler is another big trend,&#8221; says Gallus. Similar to the &#8220;Cherub Lip&#8221; trend seen on TikTok, this &#8220;started as a technique but now means doll-like lips with a pronounced Cupid&#8217;s bow,&#8221; she explains.\u00a0&#8220;Filler that is done this way can be tricky so it is important to go to an experienced injector for Russian lips.&#8221; To achieve a similar look at home, use dark liner on the outer corners of the lips and switch to a lighter liner as you graduate toward the center. You can double-up and recreate the same gradient with lipstick for a fuller-at-the-center pout. To amplify the look further, add concealer to the edges to make the lips appear narrower.\n<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_19-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Perfectly Proportioned Lips <\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_20-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image figure-square figure-high-res\">\n<div class=\"figure-media\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"2000\" alt=\"Rihanna perfectly proportioned lip shape\" class=\"lazyload mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" id=\"mntl-sc-block-image_4-0\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/gettyimages-2149038798-9d30e500b2274f7ba0a67af97c7b1172.webp\" title=\"gettyimages-2149038798-9d30e500b2274f7ba0a67af97c7b1172\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/gettyimages-2149038798-9d30e500b2274f7ba0a67af97c7b1172.webp\" width=\"2000\" height=\"2000\" class=\"img--noscript mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"Rihanna perfectly proportioned lip shape\" title=\"gettyimages-2149038798-9d30e500b2274f7ba0a67af97c7b1172\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_4-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"><span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>Neil Mockford\u00a0\/\u00a0Getty<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_21-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Is there such a thing as perfect lips?

In order to give a woman the lip shape she desires, Lorenc uses both filler and neuromodulators such as Botox and Xeomin. &#8220;I not only fill the lips in different areas and with different amounts of filler,&#8221; Lorenc explains, &#8220;but Botox and Xeomin are also used to lift the corners of the mouth and get rid of any existing wrinkles.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_23-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Puffy Lips <\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_24-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image figure-square figure-high-res\">\n<div class=\"figure-media\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"2000\" alt=\"Priyanka Chopa Jonas Full puffy Lip shape\" class=\"lazyload mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" id=\"mntl-sc-block-image_5-0\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/gettyimages-1497133163-c5f03bf5faa74f9e8a6e5ba26e2263b2.webp\" title=\"gettyimages-1497133163-c5f03bf5faa74f9e8a6e5ba26e2263b2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/gettyimages-1497133163-c5f03bf5faa74f9e8a6e5ba26e2263b2.webp\" width=\"2000\" height=\"2000\" class=\"img--noscript mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"Priyanka Chopa Jonas Full puffy Lip shape\" title=\"gettyimages-1497133163-c5f03bf5faa74f9e8a6e5ba26e2263b2\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_5-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"><span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>Daniele Venturelli\u00a0\/\u00a0Getty<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_25-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Where there&#8217;s a conversation about lips, Kylie Jenner&#8217;s pillowy pout almost always comes up. It&#8217;s been years since she first debuted her bee-stung lips, but the obsession with full lips (and fillers) is still going strong. She has what Dr. Lorenc calls <em>puffy lips<\/em>: full and pillowy on the top and bottom. Priyanka Chopra Jonas is another superstar whose lips have this coveted shape. To cheat the look, all you need is matte lipstick and matching lip liner. Of course, Kylie herself has you covered\u2014she created her signature lip kits for this exact purpose.\n<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_27-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Hollywood Lips <\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_28-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image figure-square figure-high-res\">\n<div class=\"figure-media\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"2000\" alt=\"Angelina Jolie Hollywood Lips lip shape\" class=\"lazyload mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" id=\"mntl-sc-block-image_6-0\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/gettyimages-1236164264-d1ec7ecd46ce4fca9697893901dd8750.webp\" title=\"gettyimages-1236164264-d1ec7ecd46ce4fca9697893901dd8750\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/gettyimages-1236164264-d1ec7ecd46ce4fca9697893901dd8750.webp\" width=\"2000\" height=\"2000\" class=\"img--noscript mntl-image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"Angelina Jolie Hollywood Lips lip shape\" title=\"gettyimages-1236164264-d1ec7ecd46ce4fca9697893901dd8750\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_6-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"><span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>Dave Benett\u00a0\/\u00a0Getty<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_29-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> And the most requested shape is the Hollywood lip! Is it any wonder? Angelina Jolie is this sexy pout&#8217;s poster girl. &#8220;[She] has both a full upper and lower lip. She doesn&#8217;t have a very accentuated Cupid&#8217;s bow but instead a rounded upper lip,&#8221; Lorenc says. In his practice, patients come in seeking Angelina Jolie&#8217;s covetable pout year after year. For a similar look, use lip liner to trace over your Cupid&#8217;s bow in a rounded arc rather than defining each individual peak.<\/p>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_31-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-faq--expanded beauty-sc-block-faq mntl-sc-block-faq mntl-block is-expanded\">\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block-faq__title_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-faq__title mntl-text-block\">FAQ<\/div>\n<ul id=\"mntl-sc-block-faq__content_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-faq__content mntl-accordion \" data-tracking-container=\"true\">\n<li class=\"accordion__item js-accordion-item is-active\" data-ordinal=\"1\">\n<div class=\"accordion__header js-accordion-trigger\" id=\"mntl-accordion__item_1-0-section-0\"><span class=\"accordion__title\">What are heart-shaped lips?<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"accordion__body\">\n<div id=\"mntl-accordion__content_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-accordion__content\">\n<div class=\"faq-accordion__item-answer\">\n<p>Heart-shaped lips are characterized by prominent plumpness in the center, a well-defined Cupid&#8217;s bow, and gradually diminishing fullness toward the edges.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"accordion__item js-accordion-item is-active\" data-ordinal=\"2\">\n<div class=\"accordion__header js-accordion-trigger\" id=\"mntl-accordion__item_2-0-section-1\"><span class=\"accordion__title\">What is the rarest lip shape?<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"accordion__body\">\n<div id=\"mntl-accordion__content_2-0\" class=\"comp mntl-accordion__content\">\n<div class=\"faq-accordion__item-answer\">\n<p>The Cupid&#8217;s bow, or heart-shaped lip, is the rarest as it is defined by two distinct peaks outlining the Cupid&#8217;s bow, a slight dip in the middle of the lower lip, and concentrated fullness in the center of the pout.
