Face terms
Faces come in various shapes. They can be oval, heart-shaped, round or square. Faces can be described as being beautiful, pretty, striking, cute, interesting, handsome, average, plain, homely or ugly,
There are many muscles in your face that allow you to form many different expressions. By moving or tensing the muscles of your jaw, your lips, your eyes, your forehead and other parts of your face, you can look happy, sad, excited, curious, angry, bored, afraid, loving or worried.
Usually our faces form these expressions on their own, based on the feelings we have at the moment. Actors, politicians and some criminals learn to form various expressions with their faces that are not related to their emotions. That makes it difficult for others to know for sure what they are really thinking or feeling.
Some people claim to know what a person is thinking or feeling by the look in his eyes, but the eyes do not change. What people really notice is the tiny changes in the rest of the face that surround the eyes.
