and the Face
Most of us look at our conversation partner’s
face far more than any other part of the
body. The face is a veritable map of human
emotions—if you know how to read it.
Microexpressions:
1) Surprise:
Surprise is the briefest of emotions. It occurs
when the subject is shocked about something
said or done.
-The brows are raised and curved—they
should look like upside-down U’s
-Skin below the brow is stretched
-There can be horizontal wrinkles across the
forehead
-Eyelids are opened, with the white of the
eye showing above and below
-Jaw drops open and teeth are parted. The
lips, jaw and mouth stays loose

between the brows, not across
-Upper eyelid is raised, but the lower lid is
tense and drawn up

lower white

stretched and drawn back
3) Disgust:

extreme irritation.

lutely affect your mood, behavior and stress
levels.
