Russian lips: what are they and which look suits you?
Russian lips are heart-shaped lips, with the focus on the cupid's bow and an upper lip that looks higher. Curious which look suits your face? At Soap, the doctor looks at your lips and your whole face during a free consult.

THE TREND
What are russian lips?
Russian lips is the name for a lip shape with a clear heart shape. The focus is on the cupid's bow and an upper lip that looks higher. So it is about shape, not about as much volume as possible.
The cupid's bow is the curve in the middle of your upper lip, with the two small peaks below your nose. With russian lips, that bow takes centre stage.
A very different lip trend is the duckface, where the lips are pushed forward into a pout.

BEFORE & AFTER
Russian lips before and after: what do you see?
On russian lips before and after photos, the difference is mainly in the shape. The upper lip looks higher, the cupid's bow sharper and the whole takes on a heart shape. From the side, the lips do not come much further forward.
A photo only shows how that shape turns out on those particular lips. Whether the same look suits you depends on your own face. That is why the cosmetic doctor looks at your lip shape, profile, mouth, chin and facial expressions.
TREND OR TAILORED
Russian lips or a natural lip filler?
Both are about more beautiful, fuller lips. The difference is the starting point:
What to look at | Russian lips | Natural lip filler at Soap |
|---|---|---|
Starting point | A recognisable heart-shaped lip shape | Your own lip shape and face |
Focus | Height and an emphasised cupid's bow | Contour, symmetry, hydration and the balance with your face |
Result | A distinct heart shape | You may see a difference, but you do not have to look visibly treated |
At Soap, it starts with your own lips, which the doctor refines in a natural way. Sometimes a sharper cupid's bow already gives the effect you are looking for, sometimes hydration or a little more volume in the lower lip does.

NO TRACE FACE®
Full lips that suit your face
At Soap we treat you so that you look fresher, rested and a little younger, but never treated. That is why all our experts work with the No Trace Face® techniques we developed ourselves.
Looking for more volume and a clear contour? Then Volumizing Lips is one of the options: our signature lip filler for perfectly shaped lips, without an overdone look. Your lip shape becomes sharper and better defined. Mainly after soft, hydrated lips? Then take a look at Moisturizing Lips.
We always work with hyaluronic acid fillers, which your own body breaks down again and which the doctor can dissolve if needed.
YOUR FACE, YOUR GOALS
Does a russian lips look suit you?
That depends on your whole face, not just your lips. During the consult, the doctor looks at:
Your lip shape. The shape of your cupid's bow and how your upper and lower lip relate to each other.
Your profile, mouth and chin. How your lips look from the side, together with the rest of your face.
Your facial expressions. Your lips should keep moving naturally when you talk and laugh.
Contour and symmetry. Volume is not all that counts, contour, symmetry and hydration matter too.
Then you discuss which result suits you. We would rather build up gradually than use more product than needed.
