Lips in Passport Photos: Guidelines for Facial Expression and Recognition

The lips are the fleshy outer parts of the mouth that are highly sensitive. They are connected to the gums of the jaws through lip bands.

Lips play an important role in speaking, expressing emotions, and kissing.

The skin of the lips is very thin, making the blood vessels visible and giving the lips a red tint.

Different Shapes of Lips

Different shapes of lips can reveal one's personality traits, including:

• Normal lips (not thin or thick): indicates a balanced personality.
• Fuller upper lip: shows a person who prefers to give rather than take.
• Fuller lower lip: signifies someone who is always looking for pleasure and enjoys life.
• Full upper and lower lip: indicates a person who puts others first.
• Angular bow in the upper lip: suggests a person with good communication skills and who speaks their mind.
• Rounded bow in the upper lip: reveals someone with a high level of empathy.
• Undefined bow in the upper lip: suggests a person who lacks emotional boundaries.
• Full lips in the center: signifies someone who likes to be in the spotlight.
• Narrow mouth with full lips: indicates someone who prefers not to be tied down.
• No upper lip with normal lower lip: indicates a person who is focused on work and performance.
• Large mouth with full lips: suggests a generous person.

Rules for Lips in Passport Photos

In the passport photo requirements, it is indicated that one must have a neutral expression in the photo, and lips play a crucial role in this.

The lips must be visible in the photo to allow for facial recognition, and a mustache or beard may cover the lips.

Makeup, such as lipstick, is allowed in passport photos.
