Lip Shapes & Lip Augmentation using Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

When we talk about celebrities who have beautiful lips, a few names will automatically come to mind. What makes the perfect pout? This is a question that has evolved through the years. Silent movie star Clara Bow in the 1920's with her bow lips, Marilyn Monroe and her classic red pout, right through to today and Angelina Jolie and her full luscious lips, all of them have a signature look.

Over the years lots of lip shapes have become well-known by being associated with Hollywood actresses, singers or models. Lips can look thin, wide, round or full and plump, and while some have to apply lip liner and gloss to make their lips dazzle, others are born with naturally gorgeous pouts.

In Hollywood when lips are spoken of, we automatically think of Angelina Jolie. Her lips are one of her best features, and one that many women have tried emulate, and Julia Roberts is another actress that has a pair of lips that many women envy.

But their lips are just a couple of lip shapes, here are a few more:

• Full Lips: Like Angelina, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was also born with full natural lips, but has allegedly had fillers in recent times. Both of the lips are full but with more volume on the bottom lip. Fuller lips may not always be symmetrical but they are curvy and voluptuous.
• Round Lips: These lips look round, like a button and it's a very cute look. They may not look as sexy as full lips, but they do look very flirty, as Drew Barrymore shows us with her small mouth and pouty lips.
• Wide Lips: Julia Roberts is known for her wide lips and beaming smile. But there’s a big difference between full lips and wide lips. Actress Anne Hathaway's lips aren't full of volume, but are full in the sense that the lips are defined, and when she smiles it's very easy to notice that the lips are wider than those of most people.
• Thin Lips: Think of Kate Hudson for this type of lip and you will understand that Hollywood stars look gorgeous with their own natural pouts, whether the pout is plump or thin. Thin lips have a delicate look about them that big voluptuous lips do not.
• Bow or Heart-shaped Lips: This lip shape resembles a heart and expands like a bow. The lip is usually normal size and not too wide, but the lower lip tends to be slightly larger. Actresses Hayden Panettiere and Reese Witherspoon have this lip shape. Bow or heart-shaped lips are one of the most feminine of all lip shapes.

In recent times though, we have seen a new trend of overdrawn and over inflated lips. Kylie Jenner, Amy Childs and Courtney Love are just a few celebrities championing this look.

Lip augmentation is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure for enhancing the look of the lips, making them fuller with a prominent lip line. We do this by injecting a dermal filler and is a safe and effective way to plump up thin lips.

At the Selston Cosmetic Clinic a patient may come in for a lip augmentation with a picture of a celebrity whose lips that they want to copy, but the shape is not suitable for their lips. A good cosmetic doctor will be able to tell you what  style of lips will best suit your face and lip shape.

So if you want to catch a man’s attention, don’t bother fluttering your eyelashes or flicking your hair. Just practise your pout.
