Read my lips
Forget about fortune tellers and horoscopes. The shape of a person’s lips can say a lot about their personality.
People with full lips are usually responsible. You can always rely on them. They are also very decisive; they make decisions quickly. On the other hand, they are sometimes rather bossy. They like telling people what to do!
People who have a thin upper lip and a thick lower lip are energetic. They work very hard and enjoy taking part in a lot of activities. They are ambitious as well; they want to be successful in life. However, these people are often self-centred. They sometimes forget about other people’s feelings.
People with thin lips are determined; they know what they want and they do all to get it. They are careful people who do their work with a lot of attention and thought. However, they are often reserved; they dislike showing their feelings and emotions. They can also be mean; they hate sharing things or spending money.
People who have lips with down-turning corners are very generous. They love giving things to other people and helping them. They are also intelligent and understand difficult subjects quickly and easily. On the other hand, they can be sensitive at times; they get upset easily, so be careful of what you say to them.
