How to Tell a Trustworthy Face From a Liar’s Face

People’s hearts are hidden behind their skin; we can never truly know what others are thinking. However, we can discern whether someone is lying or telling the truth by observing their eyes and facial expressions. But not everyone can read faces; generally, only those who have experienced certain things in life can do so. Today, let’s analyze the facial features of people who are prone to lying. These readings come from physiognomy, and the wider practice of face reading applies the same approach to love, temperament, moles and long life.

Facial Features Face Reading Links to Lying

Lips That Don’t Meet

People whose upper and lower lips do not meet or are crooked are likely to say things that are not true.

Protruding Eyes

As the saying goes, protruding eyes are invisible. People with protruding eyes usually speak less truthfully and their words may contain problems or ulterior motives.

A Crooked Nose

People whose noses are slightly crooked when viewed from the front are usually difficult to deal with, and it is hard to tell whether what they say is true or false.

Sparse Teeth

People with sparse teeth tend to talk nonsense, just for fun, and their stories are very interesting, making everyone happy.

Expressions Face Reading Says Can Signal a Lie

Not Looking the Other Person in the Eye

The eyes represent a person’s heart and thoughts. If you don’t look directly at the other person when you speak, it may be because you feel guilty or there is something wrong with what you are saying.

Lip Movements Before Speaking

If someone moves their lips before speaking, or if they make unnatural facial movements before saying anything, such as twitching their lips, it suggests that what they are saying may be untrue.

Biting or Licking the Lips Before Speaking

Biting or licking one’s lips before speaking are subconscious actions that may indicate a problem with what is about to be said.

What Does a Crooked Mouth Mean in Face Reading?

People with crooked mouths tend to speak untruthfully, whether their mouth is crooked normally or during conversation. Exceptions include those caused by illness. A crooked mouth when smiling can easily lead to unintentional slips of the tongue; however, this is less severe than in people with naturally crooked mouths or protruding eyes. Generally, when a person’s words and inner thoughts are inconsistent, the muscles in the mouth receive two contradictory instructions, resulting in uncoordinated movements. When this discrepancy between thought and words becomes a habit, the mouth shape changes. If a person’s mouth is only crooked when smiling, they are prone to unintentional slips of the tongue; however, this is less severe than in people with naturally crooked mouths.

Teeth, Lips and Face Shapes Linked to Careless Talk

Loose or Gapped Front Teeth

Most people with this condition speak without thinking. If their teeth are sparse or crooked, they are even more prone to boasting. Moreover, they lack tact in their speech and are unaware of the offenses they cause. If a person has sparse or crooked teeth, they are prone to speaking without thinking and boasting, especially if their front teeth are missing. They also lack tact in their speech and are unaware of the offenses they cause.

Protruding Eyes and a Round Face

People with round faces are prone to saying the wrong thing, pretending to know what they don’t, and will eventually be exposed; however, they make these mistakes unconsciously, not intentionally. Those with baby faces are an exception. People with protruding eyes tend to talk incessantly, even to the point of being a bit garrulous; however, these people are generally careless, so they don’t mean to hurt anyone. This excludes those whose protruding eyes are due to nearsightedness.

A Bead on the Upper Lip

A prominent, drooping fleshy protrusion in the middle of the upper lip, resembling a bead, indicates a talkative person who often refuses to back down due to a competitive spirit. The larger the bead, the more talkative they are.

Sharp Teeth

It is said that those with sharp tongues are quick-witted and eloquent, while those with sparse teeth are people who speak without thinking; and those with long and sharp teeth are people who like to talk.

Protruding Teeth and Exposed Gums

People with these two traits are talkative but prone to exaggeration and are extremely unpopular.

An Upturned or Thin Upper Lip

Women should be wary of men who are good with sweet talk.

Can You Tell a Trustworthy Face From a Liar’s?

People who are prone to lying generally have unstable eye contact, often avoid eye contact when speaking, and may exhibit unnatural movements before speaking, such as moving their lips before speaking. If someone bites or licks their lips while speaking, this person may be somewhat dishonest, and what they say may not be true. Lying can manifest not only in facial expressions but also in facial features. Whether such judgments hold up is a separate question, which our look at whether face reading is accurate examines through research on first impressions.

People whose upper and lower lips cannot close properly, or who are slightly crooked, often don’t tell the truth and are prone to lying. People with protruding eyes are often dishonest and their words are usually ulterior motives. If a person’s nose is not straight, they are often difficult to deal with and their statements are often inaccurate. People with gaps in their teeth tend to have a good sense of humor and like to say anything, even jokes; their words shouldn’t be taken too seriously. Honesty is a fundamental quality of being a person, and it should be upheld by both friends and strangers. While occasional jokes are acceptable, moderation is key; otherwise, others will lose trust in you.

More Features Face Reading Ties to Dishonesty

Missing or Tattooed Eyebrows

People who are born without eyebrows or who have shaved off their eyebrows for cosmetic purposes and then had them tattooed should not be easily trusted. The difference between humans and animals is that humans have eyebrows. Eyebrows represent personality and emotions. People who have no eyebrows or have shaved off their eyebrows become cold and indifferent, have no feelings for each other, and are extremely ruthless.

Earlobes That Face Backward

The ears represent the kidneys. People whose earlobes are positioned far back in the ear are often smooth talkers who are good at pleasing the opposite sex. However, such people may actually be quite averse to love, so they need to be careful.

The Hairline

A person’s hairline should generally be straight. People without this feature usually have poor upbringing from childhood, which can lead to impulsiveness and dishonesty in adulthood. Be careful.

A Prominent Lower Lip

People with particularly long lower lips are not easily persuaded by others’ opinions, have their own set of flawed logic, and find it difficult to communicate with others.

Licking or Biting the Lower Lip

People who lick their lips or bite their lower lip when talking to others are dishonest and have a very hypocritical personality. They often deceive others to satisfy their vanity, so you should not believe what they say and be careful.

Features Face Reading Links to Deception in Men

Asymmetrical Cheeks

Men with asymmetrical cheeks are very good at disguising and hiding their thoughts. It is difficult for others to understand their true inner thoughts from their expressions and words, and others are easily deceived by their appearance.

Messy Eyebrows

From a physiognomy perspective, men with messy eyebrows are particularly fond of dissolute and pleasure-seeking activities. If their eyebrows are also thick and heavy, pressing down on their eyes, they are selfish, indifferent to everything, lack ambition, and will stop at nothing to achieve their own interests. They lie and deceive, and are even willing to betray themselves. Naturally, they will not cherish relationships.

Protruding Eyes in Men

As the saying goes, protruding eyes are invisible. Men with protruding eyes are usually unreliable, materialistic, and willing to lie and deceive others to achieve their goals.

Watery, Sparkling Eyes

A man with watery, sparkling eyes, a hint of a smile, and who avoids direct eye contact while speaking, his gaze shifting and unfocused, may appear gentlemanly and caring towards women. However, he is actually selfish and dark-hearted. To win a woman’s favor, he will fabricate any lie, leaving you unable to discern the truth. Once you develop feelings for him, you are likely to be hurt.

Crisscrossing Crow’s Feet

Men with crisscrossing crow’s feet or messy lines on their temples (the area between the outer corner of the eye and the edge of the forehead) are particularly casual about relationships. They like to use sweet talk to deceive women, and once they’ve won them over, they’ll quickly find someone new. Women must be careful when encountering this type of man and not be seduced by his silver tongue.

Very Prominent Jawbones

Men with prominent jawbones are usually very persistent and stubborn. They will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals, and lying and deceiving others are not uncommon for them.

A Crooked Nose in Men

Men whose noses appear crooked or slightly misaligned from the front are often deep-thinking, eccentric, and difficult to deal with. They tend to speak in veiled terms, making it hard to discern their true intentions. When dealing with such men, one must be cautious and not be deceived by their seemingly harmless appearance.

Thin, Uneven Lips

Men with thin upper lips and thick lower lips are very self-centered and don’t easily reveal their thoughts. They also value passion and sensual pleasure, which can easily lead people to misunderstand them as passionate and proactive lovers. In reality, once the novelty wears off, these men will move on to other targets, and their initial vows were just a deceptive tactic.
