Ugly or distorted facial expression (7)

I believe the answer is:

grimace

(Other definitions for grimace that I've seen before include "Facial expression showing disgust, wry humour etc" , "Contortion of face expressing pain" , "Expression of distaste" , "(Make) a wry face" , "Express wry amusement" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
