Cupid's bow

Cupid's bow feature on the superior human lip

The Cupid's bow is a facial feature where the double curve of a human upper lip is said to resemble the bow of Cupid, the Roman god of erotic love. The peaks of the bow coincide with the philtral columns giving a prominent bow appearance to the lip. It is outlined with the vermilion border, which connects the lip skin to the facial skin.

Celebrities with a pronounced cupid's bow include Taylor Swift and Rihanna.[1]
