Smiley describes someone who smiles frequently or a facial expression showing happiness: She's always so smiley in photos.
As a noun, a smiley is a simple representation of a smiling face, especially the circular yellow face with two dots for eyes and a curved line for a mouth that became ubiquitous on buttons, stickers, and merchandise from the 1970s onward.
