Want to compliment a girl’s eyes but aren’t sure what to say? Help has arrived! We’ll tell you everything you need to know about what to say, how to say it, and when to compliment a girl’s eyes.

1

Compliment the color of her eyes.

A comment about the specific shade of her eyes will make her feel special. Pay attention to how dark or light her eyes are, the individual colors in them, or what they make you think of.
- “Your turquoise eyes remind me of the Caribbean Sea.”
- “Your deep brown eyes are stunning.”
- “The green of your eyes reminds me of the forest.”
- “I love the gold flecks in your eyes.”

2

Comment on the shape of her eyes.

A thoughtful compliment on the unique shape of her eyes will make her smile. She probably hasn’t had many people point out this feature, and doing so will set you apart. Take note of the way her eyes tilt or turn, if they’re round or almond-shaped, or how far apart they’re set.^{[1]

- “Your round eyes are so gorgeous.”

- “The way your eyes turn up is so alluring.”
- “Your eyes are so big and incredibly beautiful.”

Compare her eyes to a celebrity’s.

Putting her in the same league as a celeb is sure to make her feel good. Take note of the color, shape, or another feature that reminds you of a hot celebrity. Point out the comparison to show her that even a famous person has nothing on her.
- “Your hazel eyes remind me of Rihanna’s.”
- “Your eyes are even prettier than Megan Fox’s.”
- “I thought Jessie J’s green eyes were pretty, but yours are even better.”
- “Your eyes look just like Kerry Washington’s.”

Note how her clothes or makeup bring out her eyes.

She’ll appreciate how observant you are if you comment on two things at once. How does her outfit, hair, makeup, or accessories complement her eyes? Appreciating the time she took to get ready or her unique sense of style is a great way to go.
- “Those glasses really complement your eyes.”
- “That green dress really brings out your eyes.”
- “Your red hair makes your eyes pop.”
- “Your eye makeup looks gorgeous.”

Tell her what effect her eyes have on you.

Noting how her eyes make you feel can deepen your connection. Describe what you feel when you two lock eyes to explain how much she means to you.
- “When you look at me, I feel like the most important person in the world.”
- “Looking into your eyes makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.”
- “I get weak in the knees when you look at me like that.”
- “Staring into your eyes makes me feel alive.”
- "I could stare into your eyes for infinity. I feel like I'm in heaven!"

6

Explain what you see when you look at her eyes.

She’ll love a compliment about what you see in her gaze. Are her eyes innocent? Commanding? Mysterious? Kind? Tell her what qualities you notice to make her feel empowered.
- “You have the most intelligent eyes.”
- “I love how gentle your eyes are.”
- “Your eyes are so seductive.”
- “I’ve never met anyone with eyes as mysterious as yours. What are you thinking?”

7

Compliment the way her emotions change her eyes.

Noticing these subtle shifts shows that you’ve been paying attention. Do her eyes darken when she's serious or shine when she's happy? Let her know!
- “I love the way your eyes light up when you smile.”
- “Your eyes are so mesmerizing when you laugh.”
- “Did you know that your eyes sparkle when you have an idea?”
- “When you’re determined, your eyes are so intense and beautiful.”

8

Add some humor to make her laugh.

Being a little goofy can lighten the mood. Whether you're nervous about saying something deep or just not the type to get all sentimental, compliment her eyes in a way that's fun and silly. If you know she'll appreciate a cheesy joke, try out one of these options.
- "Your eyes are the exact same color as a granny smith apple. Think they taste as good?"
- "You must be a thief because you stole the blue from the sky and put it in your eyes."
- "You know what's awesome? Dinosaurs. Oh, and your eyes!"
- "Are you an astronaut? Because I can see the stars in your eyes."

9

Make your compliment specific.

If your compliment feels unique to her, it’ll make her swoon. Something like “Your eyes are beautiful” can apply to anyone, so take the time to point out something specific to her eyes to make your compliment more meaningful.^{[2]

Be sincere.

Give her a compliment that's genuine and heartfelt. Take the time to find something you actually do love about her eyes, then speak from the heart.^{[3]

11

Look into her eyes when you give her a compliment.

Making eye contact will help you two connect. It also lets her know that you're sincere, and will help you better gauge her reaction to what you say. If her pupils dilate, rest assured that your compliment hit the mark and made her feel amazing.^{[4]

Compliment her eyes once you have a connection.

She’ll appreciate your words more if you’ve gotten to know each other a little bit. Saying something to a complete stranger about her eyes might feel a bit creepy. Wait until you two are really vibing to sweep her off her feet with your sweet compliment.
- Did you hit it off with a girl at a bookshop or café? In the middle of your convo, say something like "Your green eyes are stunning, by the way" to make her blush.
- Dating or in a relationship already? Pick a moment when the two of you are alone to tell her just how much of an effect her lovely eyes have on you.
