Facial Expressions

The face can be revealing. While some people can control their facial expressions to a degree, microexpressions often slip through, revealing genuine emotions.

• Happiness: Raised cheeks, raised lip corners, "crow's feet" wrinkles around the eyes, tightened muscles around the eyes
• Sadness: Raised inner corners of the eyes, loose eyelids, lip corners pulled down
• Surprise: Dilated pupils, open mouth, lifted eyelids and eyebrows
