moon eyes

Adoring dreamy gaze

Moon eyes describes a wide-eyed, dreamy, or lovestruck gaze—the kind of look someone gives when smitten: She was making moon eyes at him across the room.

The image evokes eyes as round and luminous as the full moon.

Also spelled mooneyes or moon-eyes.

To make moon eyes is to gaze adoringly, often to the point of appearing foolish.
