vermilion border
Red lip margin
The vermilion border is the sharp line where the colored part of the lip meets the surrounding skin.
In anatomy and cosmetics, it marks the transition between the red tissue of the lip and the normal facial skin: Lip liner is applied along the vermilion border.
The term comes from vermilion, the vivid red pigment.
