uptilted

Tipped toward sky

Uptilted means tilted upward—angled so that one end or edge points toward the sky: an uptilted chin, her uptilted nose.

The word suggests a slight, often deliberate angle rather than a dramatic tilt.

It appears most often describing facial features or objects caught in a moment of upward orientation.
