arched brows

Skeptical facial expression

Arched brows are eyebrows raised in an expression of surprise, skepticism, or disapproval.

The phrase typically describes a deliberate facial gesture rather than the natural shape of the brows: She met his explanation with arched brows.

The singular arched brow suggests pointed skepticism, often with a hint of amusement.
