Lip Shape Analyzer

A lip shape analyzer uses AI facial landmark detection to measure the proportions of your lips from a photo — including width, height, upper-to-lower ratio, and cupid's bow definition — and classifies them into a named lip shape type. The classification is paired with personalized lipstick and makeup tips.

This tool classifies lips into seven types: Full, Thin, Wide, Heart-shaped, Round, Top-heavy, and Bottom-heavy. These cover the most distinct lip proportions. Many people's lips fall near the boundary of two types — the dominant proportion determines the classification.

Round and Full are among the most common lip shapes globally, followed by Heart-shaped. Thin and Wide shapes represent a smaller proportion of people. All shapes are equally beautiful and work with every makeup style when you know the right techniques.

Heart-shaped lips are defined by a pronounced cupid's bow — the M-shaped curve at the top of the upper lip. The two arch peaks are higher than the centre dip, creating a sculpted, romantic shape. This is one of the most prized lip shapes in classic beauty.

A cupid's bow is the M-shaped curve at the top of the upper lip. It's named for the bow of Cupid, the Roman god of love. A well-defined bow has two prominent arch peaks that rise above the centre dip. The definition of the bow is one of the key measurements in this tool.

Accuracy depends on photo quality. A clear, well-lit, front-facing photo with a relaxed or neutral lip expression will give the most reliable result. Heavy lip liner or dark lipstick can sometimes alter the perceived outer contour. For best accuracy, photograph your natural lips in even light.

The tool uses the full outer lip contour landmarks from the MediaPipe 478-point face mesh, including the mouth corners, cupid's bow arch peaks, the outer upper lip centre, and the inner and outer lower lip points. Width, height, and bow definition are computed from these.

Yes — lip shape and volume change with age. Lips typically lose volume and definition gradually over time, particularly after the mid-30s, due to collagen loss, reduced hyaluronic acid, and thinning of the vermilion border (the outer edge). Lip contouring with liner can compensate for these changes.

Glossy and satin finishes are most flattering for thin lips — they reflect light and create the visual impression of more volume. Matte formulas tend to emphasise thinness. A plumping gloss with a subtle shimmer at the centre of the lower lip is especially effective.

Full lips suit virtually any finish. Gloss and satin amplify the natural volume, while matte provides a bold, editorial look. Bold saturated colours — berry, deep plum, classic red — are particularly striking on full lips.

Full lips have generous volume in both the upper and lower lip, with a notable height relative to width. Round lips have gently curved edges and a soft, even shape, but may have less pronounced vertical volume. The primary distinction is fullness (height/width ratio) vs overall curvature and arch definition.

Take a clear, front-facing photo in even, natural light. Use a relaxed or slightly-parted neutral expression — avoid a big smile or strong expression. Remove heavy lip liner and very dark lipstick if possible. The camera should be level with your face, not angled up or down.

Top-heavy lips have a notably fuller upper lip relative to the lower lip. Bottom-heavy lips have a notably fuller lower lip — this creates a natural pouty appearance. The upper/lower balance is measured by comparing the heights of the two lips at their centres.

Yes — lip shape analysis applies equally to all genders. The classification types (Full, Thin, Wide, etc.) describe proportions, not style preferences. The styling tips are written for a broad audience and can be adapted for any makeup or grooming context.

Lip contouring with liner and colour can visually alter the perceived shape significantly. Overlining the upper lip defines the cupid's bow and adds height; applying gloss or lighter shades in the centre adds visual fullness; deeper shades at the edges narrow a wide shape. This tool measures your natural anatomy, not the made-up appearance.

This tool can help you understand your natural lip proportions, but it is not a clinical measurement tool and should not be used as the basis for cosmetic procedure planning. Consult a qualified aesthetic practitioner for any clinical decisions about lip augmentation.
