Morphology
twatfaced + grin
The phrase is analyzable as 'twat' + '-faced' + 'grin' so a learner who knows the crude noun 'twat' and the productive '-faced' pattern could infer a contemptuous or unpleasant smile. However, 'twatfaced' is slang/nonstandard and depends on knowledge of an obscene insult and evaluative morphology, so the exact nuance is not reliably predictable for an average B1 learner.
Etymology
Twatfaced grin may come from the rude word twat plus faced and grin, giving the picture of a face wearing a rude, annoying smile. So, it is used to call a smile 'unpleasant' or 'annoying'.
