batting eyelashes
Flirtatious eye movement
Batting eyelashes is fluttering the eyelids rapidly, typically as a gesture of flirtation or feigned innocence.
The movement mimics surprise or coyness and is often exaggerated for effect: She batted her eyelashes at him.
The phrase can describe genuine attraction or mock someone's attempt to charm their way out of trouble: Don't come batting your eyelashes at me.
