A broad moustache above a narrower chin patch creates a clear difference in width. During a shave, refining the surrounding gaps can either preserve that contrast or reduce it. The outline should be agreed as a whole rather than one retained section at a time.
What to discuss with your barber
Ask your barber to compare the outer endpoints of the moustache with the width below the lip. Explain whether you want that relationship pronounced or subtle. Check straight ahead before inspecting individual corners. For a hot towel shave in Sydney CBD, this gives a more useful instruction than asking for all retained facial hair to look even, because even could otherwise mean matching widths you intended to keep different.
