The classic sign is the drooping of half the face due to the malfunction of the facial nerve which controls a bunch of those muscles. Although rarer, Bell's Palsy can also involve some pain or tingling in the affected region.

In Bell's palsy you will get unilateral facial palsy which means weakness of one side of the face. You will notice that you will not be able to close one eye properly and the eye will easily get dry.
