Full and arched up top, the lower lip pushing forward a little. Theyre parted and the tongue is just visible coming out from the left corner, pink and curled. What makes the whole thing work visually is the highlight patches. Two long white-stitched gloss marks sit on the arched top and more scatter across the bottom lip, like light catching a wet surface. Thats what pulls it out of clip-art territory and into something that looks genuinely polished when its off the hoop.
Six colours. Black for the hard outlines. Solid red as the main lip fill. Dark red in the shadow areas under the bottom and at the mouth corners. Pink for the tongue. White for the highlights. And a small cream-skin tone where the corners pull back slightly. professional digitising tools layered the fills with different stitch angles on each section so the top half has a different density direction to the bottom half. The 3D illusion comes from those angle shifts rather than extra thread changes, which I think is honestly the smarter way to do it.
I get messages from makeup studio owners asking about this one, mostly people building branded merch for their clients. A lash and lip studio in my network recieved a custom order request last november and sent me photos of it stitched on black velvet scrunchie bags. Looked incredible. The red pops on black fabric like nothing else. That said, white linen is my personal favourite for this one, the red has nowhere to hide and the highlights really do their thing.
Five sizes: smallest at 3.51 inches wide, biggest at 7.51 inches. Pop the small on a cosmetics pouch zip panel. Run the large on a canvas tote for a bold beauty brand piece. Use a cutaway stabiliser, the dense red fills hit nearly 49k stitches at max size and youll need the foundation. Skip stretchy jersey if youre after a crisp outline. Go for cotton twill, canvas or denim instead, and slow your machine down a touch for the white gloss runs.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
