Cheeks & Lips: Presented By: Sandeep Patodiya Ramesh Panday

Cheeks and lips provide important nonverbal cues about people's emotions and mental states. Blown out cheeks can indicate uncertainty or exhaustion, while red cheeks often signify embarrassment or anger. Pale cheeks are a sign of fear as blood drains from the face. Chewing the inside of the cheeks or mouth can reveal nervousness or lying. Different positions of the lips convey different meanings, such as pursed lips signaling anger, puckered lips indicating romance, and bitten lips revealing anxiety.

Cheeks & lips

Presented by:

Cheeks In-out • When cheeks are blown out, this
can signify uncertainty as to
what to do next (watch also for
raised eyebrows and rounded
eyes). This may be exaggerated
by the person actually blowing
air from their mouth ('Pfoof -
what do I do now??').
• Blown out cheeks can also be a
sign of exhaustion. If the person
has been exercising the face may
also be red and sweaty
Redness cheeks
• Red cheeks is a classic sign of
embarrassment. Watch for them
becoming red (some people just
have natural red cheeks). Red
cheeks may also be a sign of anger.
Watch here for other anger signs,
such as enlarged and staring eyes.
• Cheeks pale when blood drains
from them. This typically happens
when a person is frightened as the
blood is moved to the muscles in
readiness to flee. Pale cheeks can
also be a sign of coldness
Internal cheeks
• Chewing the inside of the
cheek or mouth can be a
hidden sign of nervousness
and may indicate lying.
• Pushing the tongue into the
cheek can show
pensiveness as the person
thinks about something
and tries to come to a
decision.
Touching cheeks

• The cheek is a wide area


that can be touched
without obscuring any of
the functional organs.
• Touching the cheek is often
done in surprise or horror.
• A light touch, along with an
open mouth that says
'Oooh' indicate light
surprise.
Parted

Parting lips is the first stage in


speaking and may thus be a
signal that the person wants to
talk.
Pursed

Pursed lips are a


classic sign of anger,
including when it is
suppressed. It is
effectively holding the
mouth shut to prevent
the person saying
what they feel like
saying.
Puckered

When you say 'oo', the


lips form the kiss
shape. This is one
reason that romantic
songs often linger on
words like 'you' and
'too'.
Flattened

Lips which are kept horizontal


but squeezed flat are an
exaggerated closing of the
mouth and hence indicate a
repressed desire to speak.
This indicate disapproval It
can also indicate frustration
Retracted

The lips are pulled back,


they expose the teeth.
This may be in a broad
smile or it may be a snarl
of aggression
Biting
Biting the lip, centrally or at
the side, is often a sign of
anxiety. , this is the bottom lip
(especially if the person has
overhanging top teeth). This
may be a habitual action and
people who do this, will often
repeat the move in
predictable situations.
Twitching

Small, lightning-fast movements


of the mouth betray inner
thoughts.
For example -:
A single twitch
of the corner of the mouth that
indicates cynicism or disbelief.
Turned down

Corners of the mouth


turned down indicates
sadness or displeasure.
Moving

Lips which are moving in the


shape of words but without
making sounds means that
the person is thinking of
saying the words. This
subvocalization often
happens with very small
movement and is often
completely subconscious.
Stage mentalists use this
when they ask their 'victims'
to think hard of a word and
then lip-read as they silently
sound the word.
Protruding

Top lip is over the bottom


lip, this may be linked with
biting of the bottom lip, a
common indicator that the
person is feeling guilty
about something.
Relaxed

Lips will have a position of


rest when they are not pulled
in any direction. This usually
indicates that the person is
also feeling relaxed.
