A pinched face looks thin, tight, and not well — as if the cheeks had been squeezed in. Cold, illness, tiredness, or not eating enough can give someone that look: sharp , thin lips, a worried tightness around the mouth. It is about how the face looks, not about someone pinching you with two fingers, though that squeeze is where the picture comes from. You meet it more in stories than in chat; a little literary.
（臉色）憔悴消瘦的
組成From pinch (to squeeze) + -ed: the face looks as if it has been squeezed.
