What are the Lips in face reading?

Lips are read in face reading as the feature that describes communication style, the way emotions are expressed and a person's warmth. In Mian Xiang the mouth is one of the five main features and corresponds to age 60, while the philtrum above it is linked with age 51. The reader weighs fullness, the balance between upper and lower lip, the width of the mouth, the direction of its corners and how clear the lip line is. Full lips are read as generosity and emotional richness, thin lips as a measured, practical way of speaking. Western readings add that the upper lip shows how affection is given and the lower how it is received. Corners turning up are read as optimism, corners turning down as a tendency to worry. A common misconception is that the reading rests only on lip thickness; the tradition also weighs proportion. You can get a face reading on Faltastik by uploading a clear photo of your face.
