Hello, I have a 6 week old persian kitten and she always meows while looking at me and licking her lips after eating, I don't think she wants more because her bowl is full, is it normal?

Yes, kittens can lick their lips and meow after eating, and it can be a sign that Rose enjoyed her food. As long as she isn't vomiting, and is eating and drinking normally, I would not worry about it :-)
