shocked face

Look of disbelief

A shocked face is a facial expression showing surprise, disbelief, or alarm—wide eyes, raised eyebrows, sometimes an open mouth.

The term often refers to emoji depicting this expression, used in text messages and social media to react to startling or unbelievable news: She sent me a shocked face when I told her I quit.
