When it comes to lip injections, one size does not fit all. The key to achieving a beautiful, natural-looking result is to choose a lip shape and filler technique that complements your unique facial features. In this guide, we’ll explore the various lip injection shapes and help you determine which approach will best enhance your natural beauty.
Understanding Your Face Shape
Before deciding on a lip injection shape, it’s essential to consider your overall face shape. The five main face shapes are:
Oval
Oval faces are well-balanced and can typically handle a variety of lip shapes and sizes.
Round
Round faces benefit from lip injections that create a more elongated appearance, such as a slightly more pronounced Cupid’s bow or a fuller center.
Square
Square faces can be softened with lip injections that focus on adding volume to the center of the lips, creating a more rounded appearance.
Heart
Heart-shaped faces often have a more prominent Cupid’s bow, so lip injections that balance the lower lip with the upper lip can create a more harmonious look.
Diamond
Diamond-shaped faces can be complemented by lip injections that add volume to the sides of the lips, creating a more oval appearance.
Popular Lip Injection Shapes
Now that you understand your face shape, let’s explore some popular lip injection shapes and techniques:
The Classic
The classic lip shape focuses on enhancing your natural lip shape while maintaining balance and symmetry. This technique involves adding volume evenly throughout the lips for a subtle, natural-looking result.
The Pouty
The pouty lip shape is achieved by adding more volume to the center of the lips, creating a fuller, more pronounced pout. This technique can be particularly flattering for those with round or square face shapes.
The Defined Cupid’s Bow
Emphasizing the Cupid’s bow involves adding filler to the upper lip to create a more pronounced M-shape. This technique can help balance heart-shaped faces and add definition to the lip area.
The Pillowy
The pillowy lip shape is created by adding volume to the body of the lips, resulting in a soft, cushiony appearance. This technique can be particularly flattering for those with thin or aging lips.
The Proportional
The proportional lip shape focuses on maintaining or achieving the ideal ratio between the upper and lower lips, which is typically considered to be 1:1.6. This technique involves adding filler to either the upper or lower lip to create a more balanced appearance.
