They say you can learn a lot about a person by looking at their face.
It's not specified "what" you can learn, but expressions can speak to what a person is thinking or feeling for sure.But even putting expressions aside, the actual structure and features on a person's face can reveal a lot as well.
There are art forms and belief systems based on just that dating back thousands of years.It's said, in keeping with that belief, that the eyes are "the window to the soul."
That may be true for some, but you can certainly look elsewhere to learn about a person.The shape of one's lips are thought to reveal just as much.
We generally overlook them, though, as we find that staring at a person's eyes is more polite and less weird.You might not think that your lips really say much about who you are as a person, but experts in face reading think otherwise.
Jean Haner, one such expert and the author of The Wisdom of Your Face, says, "You were born with the features you have for a reason — every feature is linked to a part of your personality and they all work together to represent who you are."
The biggest indicators on your face (even more so than your eyes) are your lips, the shape of which lead people to draw conclusions about the type of person you are.
See what your lips say about your personality!
