Duck face

A woman making a duck face pose

Duck face or duck lips is a photographic pose common on profile pictures in social networks. The lips are pressed together as in a pout and the cheeks are typically also sucked in, often looking as if the person is tasting something sour. The pose is usually seen as an attempt to appear alluring,[1] but it can be ironic[2] or an attempt to hide self-conscious embarrassment.[3]
