LINE OF ACTION: Commanding expressions are a more confident version of brave. The commanding person is still expressing a steadfast position, yet the expression also sends the message that you are going to obey because the mouth is no longer relaxed but compressed. The mouth says "I mean it!." A commanding face is recognized by the stern brown crossing the eye line, a direct unwavering gaze and a tightly pressed mouth (sometimes with down turned corners if disapproval creeps in there).
