Some women have big lips, on the top and bottom: 
Or Kristin Stewart (who played Bella in Twilight)...
These girls don't have huge big lips and they're still beautiful. So I guess it's the total package that makes "beauty" (and I'm really only talking outside beauty here for this post).

This isn’t your grandmother’s “Snow White”! (Kristin Stewart is armed to the teeth for an upcoming rendition of the fairy tale, “Snow White & The Huntsmen.” Compare that to Lily Collins’s overly twee... Read the rest of this post

So Tina's book got me thinking about lips. The cover of her new book is beautiful, and shows these awesome lips. Which got me wondering what makes the lips beautiful.
Some women have big lips, on the top and bottom:
Like Angelina Jolie...
And Kim Kardashian...
Those two women are absolutely gorgeous, in my opinion. But I have a lip that pretty much disappears when I smile. Do I have to have big lips in order to be pretty? Here are some actresses with less than big lips:
Hayden Panettiere...(who I could totally see playing Brittany in the movie version of my book Perfect Chemistry)
Or Kristin Stewart (who played Bella in Twilight)...
These girls don't have huge big lips and they're still beautiful. So I guess it's the total package that makes "beauty" (and I'm really only talking outside beauty here for this post).
I have no problem with plastic surgery for people who want it. But I don't think I'd get my lips "plumped" because I don't want people speculating if I'd had them "done" and God forbid something should go wrong and I look like a monster! Facial plastic surgery is kind of scary to me.
I saw this pic and thought, "hmm...did she have some top-lip plumping done???"
Do you like your lips? Would you change them to be "plumper" if you could? Any suggestions for over the counter plumping products that you've used?
Congrats again to Tina for her release of The ABC's of Kissing Boys!

I wish my lips would be a lil bit plumber, just a lil bit. My lips are thin and people here say whoever has thin lips is talkative.
And I agree with you, Hayden Panettiere looks so much like the model in the cover of Perfect Chemistry!
What a fun post! I agree that the girl on the cover of of my book has terrific lips! It has already led readers to ask me about the lipstick AND if I knew the model!
One thing I've noticed about Hayden and Kristen (who I agree, are gorgeous without big lips) is that they both have what I'd call prominent lips that curl a bit at the top. So maybe it's not size as much as distinction!
I have never thought about my lips one way or another, but wouldn't want them blown out of proportion. In fact, in TOP TEN USES FOR AN UNWORN PROM DRESS, one character is referred to as having "trout lips," and readers seemed to know that meant overstuffed collagen lips!
I love my lips. Those and my eyes are my favorite features. And yeah, they are full. Maybe not quite Angelina full, but close. And my eyes are almost black. Now if I could just love the rest of me as much. :)
My lips are pretty full but sometimes I still try to use plumper, I don't know why because then they look huge. All in all I'm pretty happy.
I like my lips. They aren't too big or too small, but they do have what my mom calls that "tulip" look. You know, those lips with the very defined curves on the top lip. I'd use a plumping cosmetic maybe, as long as it didn't make them feel too weird... I hear they feel tingly.
What does annoy me about my lips though is that they are constantly dry! Summer, winter, lip balm, no lip balm.... I can't win!
my lips are fine just the way they are at least thats what I think. :)
I like my lips the way they are. Being short I love the fact that I can be comfertable with other parts of me than my hight. Oh Simone you visited my school in South Carolina about a week or week and a half ago. I loved your book Perfect Chemistry!
Oh, I'm so glad you liked Perfect Chemistry! Thanks for reading it and commenting!
I think Hayden would be a great model for Brittany...I loved Perfect Chemistry! I hope it gets made into a movie or something...
