Cupid's bow

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.

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