She’s pout of this world!

Formula proves that Scarlett has the perfect kissable lips (but Emma needs a bit of help)

ACTRESS Scarlett Johansson has the most attractive lips on Earth – and that’s a scientific fact.

Researcher­s have determined that women whose upper and lower lips are exactly the same thickness are deemed to have the most desirable pouts.

And Scarlett hits the perfect ratio of 1:1 – stats The Avengers star shares with British model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.

However, former Harry Potter actress Emma Watson is deemed less than perfect as she has a slightly narrower upper lip.

The findings come from a study of 560 plastic surgeons and the same number of members of the public, drawn from 35 nations. They were asked to look at photograph­s and choose those with most attractive mouths.

The study was led by Dr Paul Heidekrueg­er, of Munich, who has previously conducted similar work into the perfect buttock size and ‘the ideal ear placement in Caucasian females’.

Writing in the Journal Of Cranio-Maxillo-Facial Surgery, he concluded ‘a 1:1 lip ratio can apparently be considered most pleasing in females’. The second most attractive look was to have a slightly plumper lower lip.

But he conceded: ‘Our study represents current trends in aesthetics and may be subject to change, much like fashion.’

Cosmetic surgeon Gerard Lambe, of Manchester’s Reflect Clinic, said: ‘Lips are so important – they are an erogenous and attractive feature. We are zoned in on that part of the face. It is enormously important in our minds, for communicat­ion.

‘An even lower and upper lip tends to be most pleasing.’

But he said that bad plastic surgery caused a ‘very distorted body image’. ‘You only have to walk down the street and you see these horrendous pouts and these awful blown-up faces,’ he added.
