Color accents of lips and eyes Symbolism

Color accents of lips and eyes are deliberate touches of pigment that direct the viewer’s gaze and animate the face. In portraiture and figuration, reds often signal warmth, vitality, or allure, while cooler blues can suggest clarity or lucidity. These calibrated highlights help stage emotion and attention within the image.
