i never know what she’s thinking because her default is resting bitch face
An expression that is held by someone, typically (but by no means always) a woman. It is characterized by having a very slight scowl in the eyebrows, lips drawn in (sometimes occurred by sucking in the bottom lip), a pronounced tilt of the head, and a slight squinting of the eyes that would convey an expression of slight pain is discomfort. When performed properly, the sufferer should look to be perpetually constipated, and yet for some reason, utterly satisfied with being so. "Smug" is a common way to describe someone with a resting bitch face.
This expression is pronounced in its commonality, as in, it's the most common expression upon the sufferer's face. It is typically a signifier of someone who is arrogant, condescending, obnoxious or just generally bitchy. Commonly seen by journalists or other people commonly on TV.

The face you make when you are smiling at someone while imagining all manner of death and unpleasantness happening to that person
Mary put on her best smiling bitch face while in a meeting with her rude coworkers.
The polar opposite of a female's bubbly smile. It's the grown-up version of the stern look a mom gives a child meaning 'I am displeased'. In the grown up version it's more like 'I am not amused'. Also, it can simply be a relaxation of the happy face a woman puts on for people who matter. This becomes more and more the case with greater age and less make-up.
'Hey, I told your joke to my wife and daughter yesterday." "Did they laugh". "No, all I good was Bitter Bitch Face from both."
