Many factors influence whether eyes are perceived as cute. There's no single answer, as attractiveness is subjective. However, several trends emerge from various sources.
Eye Color and Cuteness
Surveys suggest light-colored eyes are frequently cited as attractive. Specifically, green, gray, blue, and hazel are often named among the most appealing eye colors worldwide. One large survey even ranked green as the most attractive. [Source: 20-Jun-2023 survey results (unspecified source)]. This doesn't automatically equate to "cute," but light eye colors are often associated with youthfulness and innocence, qualities often linked to cuteness.
Eye Size and Shape
While some find large eyes attractive, the preference varies widely. Some people find large eyes cute, while others prefer a more average eye size.

The overall facial features and their proportions play a critical role, as eyes that are too large relative to the rest of the face might not be perceived as cute. The shape of the eyes also contributes; almond-shaped eyes are often considered attractive, but again, this is subjective. [Source: Reddit discussion on hunter eyes].
Beyond Color and Size
Cuteness isn't solely determined by eye color or size. Other factors include:
- Eye expression: Sparkling, bright, and expressive eyes are more likely to be perceived as cute than dull or lifeless ones.
- Lashes: Long, full eyelashes often enhance the perceived cuteness of eyes.
- Overall facial features: The eyes' attractiveness is closely tied to the harmony of the entire face.
- Individual perception: Ultimately, whether eyes appear cute is highly subjective and depends on individual preferences.
