What does "to smize" mean in beauty slang?
The verb "to smize" means to smile with your eyes, creating an expressive or attractive gaze without necessarily smiling with the mouth. The structure is a portmanteau of "smile" and "eyes," blending the two ideas into one action. It became widely popular in fashion and modeling contexts, especially through televised modeling competitions, where it is used to describe a controlled, camera-ready facial expression.
Examples
Tyra Banks taught the models how to smize on the runway.
