Someone who frown-smiles. They either do so because 1) they are not confident enough to smile, or 2) they want to create the impression of modesty and ingenuousness. This latter reason is usually a means to a particular end, for instance frown smiling in order to convince an audience of a statement or belief.

The act of pulling up your top lip to reveal some or all of your teeth. Typically performed unconsciously by someone who is nervous, shy, or disgusted. Not a smile, although it is sometimes accompanied by, or transforms into, a frown smile.
