lip line

Edge of lips

Lip line refers to the natural border where the colored part of the lips meets the surrounding skin, or to a cosmetic pencil used to define that edge: She traced her lip line before applying lipstick.

The term also describes how high or low someone's lips sit when smiling, relevant in dentistry for determining how much of the teeth and gums show.
