Why Having Thin Lips is Actually Hot ...

Have you ever wished you had fuller lips, and envied celebs and models who've had lip fillers? Would you like to have lip enhancement work? If you've got thin lips, you shouldn't be ashamed of them. Nor should you feel it necessary to have expensive and risky treatment to make your lips fuller. Thin lips can actually be rather hot, and here's why …

1 It's Natural

Your natural looks are the best. Cosmetic enhancements tend to look very obvious, and there's always the risk that it will go wrong. Why risk problems for something that is definitely not necessary? Stick with your natural lips; there's absolutely nothing wrong with having thin lips.

2 You Can Enhance Them with Makeup - and It's Harmless!

It's a lot safer to use makeup to enhance your lips. You can use a lip pencil to draw just outside your natural lip line and make them look bigger. Do be sure not to take the pencil line too far out though! There are lipsticks and products that will help plump out your lips temporarily - give those a try.

3 Confidence is Sexy

If you're unhappy about your features, that will have more of an effect on your looks than the features that you're unhappy with! Confidence is really sexy. You don't need to be the prettiest girl around, and you don't need to have the perfect features. If you're happy and confident, that will make you more attractive than having full lips will.

4 There Are Beautiful Women with Thin Lips

Not every actress or celebrity has succumbed to the desire for full lips. There are lots of attractive famous women whose thin lips don't make them any the less attractive. Take Michelle Pfeiffer. Well in her 50s and with very thin lips. But my, is she gorgeous! Diane Kruger, Reese Witherspoon and Amy Adams don't have full lips either, and it doesn't make them any less attractive.

5 Overdone is Not Attractive

It's hard to get cosmetic enhancements absolutely right, and you can easily end up with an overdone look. You may also have to keep repeating the procedure, as most only last a matter of months. As well as the risks involved, you'll spend a lot of money maintaining your plump lips. Is it really worth that?

6 A Beautiful Smile Will Get Attention

People are going to be drawn to a beautiful, natural smile, however thin your lips may be. Nobody cares if you don't have a plump pout, they really don't! And anybody who judges you solely by your lips isn't worth your time. A confident, genuine smile is so much more appealing.

7 They Fit Your Face

Finally, if you have thin lips they are going to fit your face more than fuller lips will, because they're your natural features. Look at pictures of women with full lips; it's usually really obvious when they've had lip injections. Most often their lips just look wrong with the rest of their face, because they just don't 'fit'.

Thin lips really don't look that bad, however self-conscious you feel. Keep them well moisturised, smile a lot, and find a great lipstick; you'll look just fine, and so much more attractive than if you had your lips plumped up. Which is your favorite feature? Maybe now you’ll appreciate your thin lips a little more than before. :)

#1 I see pictures everywhere with people who say they have tiny lips, and they are nowhere near as small as mine. It's really anoying

Is there any objective data showing a widespread preference for thick lips? Because I personally don't find them attractive. I don't think they're unattractive, either. It barely moves the needle either way, like brown/blue eyes. That's why it's weird to see so many women go through all the trouble of lip injections. Especially when that procedure is so often botched. Frankly, it reminds me of the barbaric practice of foot-binding. One might say the same of any cosmetic surgery. But rhinoplasty & breast implants at least make sense on a biological level. A symmetrical nose signals good health. A large chest signals sexual maturity. What do large lips signal? I usually hears that it signals sexual excitement. Our lips swell with blood when we're aroused. But so do nipples & I don't see women getting nipple implants. Besides, since when is arousal inherently attractive? Are YOU suddenly attracted to an otherwise unattractive man just because he's got a stiffy?

@Noffy

LOL Why are here so many people with bug lips? To get offended by an article trying to inspire women with thin lips to be more confident by saying if they were to get plastic full lips they'd look bad? Literally it's what this article is saying, gee. Btw I like big lips, but mine are thin and extremely expressive so I'm pretty confident with them too. Don't care if anyone prefers fuller, though, to each their own ;).

Lara

@Lara

Jennnx wow, did that make you feel great saying that?

Cassieculbreth

@Cassieculbreth

So only if you have thin lips then it's natural. Never ever can one be natural with out thin lips. Makes sense.

CAS

@CAS

Not everyone who has full lips are from cosmetics. I am a woman with naturally full lips...

Jozette

@Jozette

Stop trying to make yourself feel better about having no lips lol

Jennnx

@Jennnx

I have to say that I understand why people are mad about the first reason, it was written as if to imply that thin lips look natural while full ones always look plastic, we all know that not all full lips are plastic but this was written badly enough to offend and make people with full lips(including me) feel like their lips look fake.Before writing she should've looked at what she wrote and fix it. Like I said, it's a poorly written article...

Shay

@Shay

@DLF This isn't bashing people with full lips or saying that thin lips are superior. I know many girls with thin lips who over draw them because they want full lips, the purpose of the article is not to say "everyone with full lips has had plastic surgery" because we all know that's not true. The purpose is to say "even if you don't have beautiful full lips you still rock your beautiful thin lips".

Kimberly ya mine r too

@Chocolatelovee

Peony blue that is so true but thanks for the article cuz that was kinda inspiring

Chocolatelovee

@Chocolatelovee

And if someone has NATURALLY FULL LIPS?

DLF

@DLF

@Endndbs remember it's is not about the size is how you use it.

peony

@peony

But have you ever kissed someone with thin lips? That's one time big lips are needed

Endndbs

@Endndbs

Finally. Enjoy what your features are because there is a reason why you are made that way and it is all biology. Thin large full lips all good. Make use of what you have.

peony

@peony

Mine are in between, and I feel my smile is more expressive bc of it

Kimberly

@Kimberly

Always viewed Michelle Pfeiffer's lips as being full and beautiful. They don't have to be like Kim's to be considered full.

Kimberly

@Kimberly

Is thin lips vs big lips actually a thing? Like couldn't people stop at thin vs curvy? Everything has to be a competition😣😣😣

Michelle

@Michelle

For some people thick lips also come naturally. Not everyone has cosmetic enhancements

nisaa

@nisaa

A lot girls with thin lips don't fill confident because the new hot thing is having big lips, but it shouldn't matter your lips are what gives you character

Jazmyn

@Jazmyn

Thin or thick, all lip sizes are beautiful.

Daniella

@Daniella

Splashhhh just because lips are full doesn't make them instantly attractive

Cassieculbreth

@Cassieculbreth

@kelly it doesnt even mention her. Anyways all the Kardashian sisters have had work done;not just on their face but on their bodies too! The writer of this article is embrassing thin lips! Nothing wrong with that whatsoever.

alka

@alka

Having full lips is not a trend. Most people of color have had full lips for centuries. And it's beautiful !! Love my lips :)

Pearlfect08

@Pearlfect08

*given it is a social construct and everyone has a different definition of beauty. Srry typo

Xxmartinaxx

@Xxmartinaxx

Personally, I have very very plump and big lips. I think the whole point here is that everyone is beautiful (which can't be defined given it is a social construct and cannot be defined) wether or not they have thin or plump lips, or anything in between :)

Xxmartinaxx

@Xxmartinaxx

I can't get over the hype with full lips. I feel it started with Angelina Jolie. Before her, I never even thought people actually cared about the size if their lips. I love all shades of lipstick, so I wouldn't mind my lips a little fuller so I can rock a red or deep plum lipstick. But I'm not about to go out and get injections. I have my huge, beauty brown eyes & high cheekbones to make up for my smaller pout anyway ;-)

Thelma62913

@Thelma62913

Don't feel pressure into the trends and what people think is beautiful. Having thin or full lips should not let your self esteem down, be proud of your features because there is someone who doesn't even have them at all

Ayesha

@Ayesha

Kelly, I'm sure this article wasn't written for the purpose of bashing her, but simply to make sure people who do have naturally thin lips (as this article does not bash people who have naturally full lips in anyway) are confident, even with the whole full lip trend going on. But hey, if the shoe fits.

Rhiannon

@Rhiannon

No one wants to end up looking like Farrah Abraham or Meg Ryan!

Megan

@Megan

Some of us do have big natural lips

Isa

@Isa

Its nice but..... Still full lips r full u know

Splashhhh

@Splashhhh

This is a total bash at Kylie Jenner

Kelly

@Kelly

Rock what you have!

TheYellow1

@TheYellow1

Natural is better. Thin or thick or somewhere I between. Never let anyone define how you see yourself or your own beauty.

yvette

@yvette

I felt like a lot of these reasons tend to still make big lips seem ideal whereas I thought it would be more reasons how thin lips are beautiful in their own way

mwelch

@mwelch

No I'm black and I love my naturally big lips
