Facial Gestures

Let’s test your knowledge of facial gestures[1]. I imagine you can make them BUT can you name them. These descriptive words are especially useful to know when reading novels. See if you can match the English word in the first column with its Spanish counterpart in the second column. The answers are in the comments below. ( !! = stronger)

1	beam		a	fruncir el ceño
2	blink		b	fruncir el ceño !!
3	frown		c	fulminar con la mirada
4	gape		d	guiñar el ojo
5	glare		e	hacer pucheros
6	grimace		f	hacer una mueca
7	leer		g	mirar boquiabierto
8	pout		h	mirar lascivamente
9	scowl		i	pestañear
10	smile		j	sonreír
11	smirk		k	sonreír !!
12	wink		l	sonreír con satisfacción

Now that you know what these facial gestures are, go ahead, make a face[2]!
