"the eyebrow thing"

What's it called? Is there no verb for ... "the eyebrow thing"? If there is, please tell me what it is.

If you do it with your shoulders, it's called SHRUGGING. If you do it with your eyelids, it's called WINKING or BLINKING. If you do it with your forehead, it's called FROWNING. What's it called if you do it with your eyebrows?

You know! That thing that Tom Selleck does twice in the introduction to the MAGNUM P I episodes that made the young mother's of 1980's weak at the knees? Is there a verb for it?

If not, I suggest here an alternative and if there isn't one already.
