The science of physiognomy originated in ancient times and was especially revered in the East. There she was a branch of medicine, where it is still believed that a person’s face is a complete reflection of his life path and his inner world.
In the Western world, Physiognomy was studied by Theophrastus, Hippocrates and Aristotle, who wrote the systematic work Physiognomica.
The famous figure Leonardo da Vinci and the philosopher John Scott in the Middle Ages supplemented the study of the dependence of the appearance and inner world of a person with their observations.
General Provisions
Physiognomy is a system of knowledge with the help of which internal personal qualities, both innate and acquired, are determined, as well as facial features and facial expressions are analyzed.
Modern psychology does not recognize physiognomy as something serious, considering it a pseudoscience. This is substantiated by many experiments that refute the connection between the face and character of a person. In ancient Greece, it was considered the "art of Chimera."
However, in everyday life, knowledge of this branch of science is used in many segments of our lives; it is especially popular in the field of personnel selection in large corporations.
Read lips
The famous phrase that the eyes are the mirror of the soul and almost everything can be read from them is known to everyone. However, physiognomy claims that it is the person’s mouth and lips that provide the most information. It is on them that one can read about moral qualities, successes in life, the goals of their master. Studying various lips, physiognomy distinguished groups of people by the shape of their mouth and lips.
Corners up
The owner of such a form of lips with raised corners in life has everything in harmony, both with the world and with himself. Such a person is always in a good mood, knows how to share joy with others, charges with a positive, gives life energy. If he still has dimples on his cheeks, then, no doubt, this person is optimistic, friendly and sociable.
Corners down
People with such a curvature of the line of the mouth, mostly closed, not seeking communication. In most cases, they have psychological problems associated with their own dissatisfaction. Since the negative experience in life cannot be avoided, he leaves an imprint on such people in the form of lowered corners of the mouth. Also, such individuals are characterized by high self-esteem and self-centeredness. At the sight of a man of this type, one gets the impression of his poor health. A woman with such corners of her lips is stubborn, hardworking and hard at work.
Bulging lips
As physiognomy explains, the lips protruding beyond the chin indicate that their owner does not have the habit of reckoning with the opinions of others. With his love of communication, such a person is too self-confident and stubborn.
Thin lips in physiognomy
Possessors of thin lips are creative personalities, perform well in the literary genre. In work, such people are always persistent and go to the intended goal. They do not hide what they are thinking about and can always give a verbal rebuff. You should be careful with people who have too thin lips, because they are capable of meanness and betrayal.
Thin upper lip
According to physiognomy, the upper lip is smaller than the lower one, indicating that this person is balanced, not prone to emotional outbursts. His mental abilities are directed into the analytical channel. Men of this type are happy in marriage, and women are vice versa.
Chubby upper lip
People whose upper lip is chubby have a passionate temperament, are carried away by the opposite sex to the extreme. They need to control their emotions, otherwise problems may arise in their personal lives. Also, the owners of such lips are very kind and have good manners.
Protruding large lower lip
In most cases, a person has a lower lip larger than the upper lip, which is why it is considered a very large, convex lower lip. Such people attach great importance to relationships in their personal lives, they are touchy, capricious and excessively proud. However, they have excellent leadership and intellectual abilities.
Big lips
When the lower and upper lips are chubby and practically the same in size, then this person has a straightforward character. According to physiognomy, large lips indicate friendliness and practicality. You can always rely on such people, both in family life and in business.
Raised upper lip
The owner of such a lip, when the front teeth are visible, has excellent artistic abilities. And also there is a penchant for political activity. Regardless of gender, such individuals are characterized by a sense of superiority: in appearance, in physical strength, in their achievements, in work and more.
Wrinkled lower lip
According to physiognomy, the lower lip with numerous wrinkles indicates a pleasant person who knows how to gain attention in the company. He also attracts the opposite sex with his good nature and cheerful disposition. Of the shortcomings, addiction to alcohol and food can be found.
Groove
The so-called hollow between the upper lip and nose indicates the presence of many positive qualities. The longer the groove, according to the physiognomy of the lips, the better. Such people are aimed at the success they achieve in any business. They have a lot of vitality and strength. If you look at the faces of prominent actors, businessmen and other personalities, then most can see an elongated groove.
People with a short hollow often have a low level of intelligence and lack elementary education standards.
Lip shape
According to physiognomy, lips in men and women with good and clear outlines speak of a sharp mind, the ability to make the right decisions. However, the owners of such lines of Cupid may have a sharpness of judgment, sarcasm and causticity. The smoothness and calmness of the lines indicates an ingenuous person who can be trusted.
Attention to communication
When communicating, you need to pay attention to the facial expressions of a person. Based on the statements of physiognomy, a person’s lips are not moving emotionally slightly. If during communication there is a feeling that the person’s face is completely moving, it indicates a hot-tempered emotional personality.
To calculate an individual with a sense of superiority and self-confidence is quite simple. When talking with such a person, you can notice how he twists his lips. Such people have a bad character.
On the line of closing lips can be judged on the emotionality of a person. A straight line indicates calm, and a wavy line with a developed nasolabial fold indicates excessive temper.
Mouth size
The big mouth is an indicator of success and intelligence. Such people are endowed with high intelligence, quickly converge with people, quite proud. If the lips are thin, then their owners have incommensurable desires with sufficient prudence. They control their actions well. Women with a harmoniously outlined large mouth usually have many friends, a career goes up easily due to sociability and openness.
Owners of a small mouth were often spoiled by their parents in childhood, so most of them are selfish people. Men are often timid, shy, not able to achieve their goals. But women are popular with the opposite sex, although they are cold by nature. A strong floor next to such a lady feels strong and fit.
Based on the assertions of physiognomy, thin and compressed lips speak of fear and deep conflict within a person. A slightly open mouth with relaxed lips, as it were, suggests that this person can be easily trusted.
The surface of the lips is different for everyone. There is not a single repeating pattern. This is what prompted the French physician Michelle Renault to think that a lip print can be informative for forensics. The exception is twins.
The physiognomy of the face and lips is a very interesting science, which came to us from ancient times. It is being studied to this day, revealing more and more secrets of the human face.
