I sometimes can confuse Fi-wide smiles for Fe. But I think Fe smiles seem to slowly fill up the cheeks as you see them grin? Like a balloon inflating (and lets pretend the balloon is easy to inflate...no resistance). . While, Fi smiles seem to have tight tense cheeks BEFORE the toothy grin? It is like they "clench" their face cheeks a lot more, especially near the nose area. When the cheeks are so tense and clenched...then the smile will have some resistance when they try to rise up. It is like Fi smiles are similar to a person trying to "lift weights". The smile is the weightlifter. The weights are the cheeks. The smile tries to go up and up, lifting those cheeks.
When the Fi user feels greatly (like they are really happy and laughing hard)...the more the smile will rise and push up into the cheeks, which are conversely trying to hold the smile back down (like weights). This is that Fi "clash" in the cheeks. It's subtle and can be quite fast, so its easy to miss.
Also, sometimes the Fi user won't be all that happy, so sometimes their smile won't necessarily rise up so high towards the nose. It won't look so obviously snarly. This is when it makes it easy to mistake them for Fe. But when an Fi user is truly happy or "feeling"...that resistance in their cheeks will be there. I think the greater the feeling, the greater the clenching of the cheeks (especially around the nose area) and the higher the smile will rise.
Fe smiles won't have this struggle, because they are not rising upwards as much. They are not going higher and higher up into the face. Plus, their cheeks are not resisting the smile, since the smile stretches wider rather than rising up...and the cheeks are not clenching so much.
Well, I don't know if I described it well or holds true for everyone, but this is what I look for mostly in smiles between Fi vs Fe users...the condition of their cheeks, rather than solely the shape of their smile.

Lea Salonga-singing voice of Princess Jasmine and Mulan. Kim in Miss Saigon. I think she is Fe, maybe Fe-lead.
(the way she stretches her mouth as she sings looks Fe to me)
She has Ti hands?
(Yet, sometimes I find some moments where her nose crinkles due to her laughter though, which I thought was more an Fi thing...but I guess Fe users can do this too if the situation is funny enough. You can only stretch your mouth so wide, until the tension is drawn upwards, I guess.)
(Seeing the 2nd to the last pic really surprised me. Cuz I think she is Fe-lead despite that snarl...so that again shows how people really can move their faces in unexpected ways...or she might be an Fi user... I will delete this post if I find out she is actually Fi later)

I think those muscles are associated with "deep feeling", and since Fi is innately connected to emotions to such a degree, they remain perpetually contracted.
But in moments of deep feeling, such as crying or joy, an Fe type can also display contraction in that area. Here's another one of Oprah about to cry, using those vertical muscles:
