This is often referred to as a "smile with the eyes" or a "Duchenne smile." It is believed that the involvement of the eyes in a smile is what distinguishes a genuine smile from a forced or fake one. The eyes convey sincerity and warmth, adding an extra layer of authenticity to the smile.Rate this question:
