Dark eyes: Considered more trustworthy
n a study published in PLOS ONE, researchers asked 238 volunteers to rate pho-
tographs of people for trustworthiness. Overall, participants rated brown-eyed
faces as more trustworthy than blue-eyed faces. However, when researchers digitally
changed the eye colors, the ratings remained consistent. This led researchers to an-
alyze the correlation between eye color and facial features. They discovered that
men with dark eyes tend to have more additional trustworthy traits than those with
light eyes (such as bigger mouths, broader chins, and bigger eyes—features that
mirror how faces naturally express happiness.) More research is needed, especially
to determine this eye color meaning for women, who didn’t show the same corre-
lation between trustworthiness and face shape. Don't miss these other things your
face shape reveals about your personality.

Dark eyes: Drink less alcohol
f your blue-eyed pals seem to drink more than you, this connection may actually
have a scientific link. In a Georgia State University survey of 12,000 men and
women, researchers found that people with light eyes drank markedly more alcohol
and were more likely to abuse it than people with dark eyes. But, why? Researchers
hypothesize that it could be due to melanin, the pigment that makes eyes darker.
Melanin is involved in electrical connections between brain cells. If the amount of
melanin in the eye (dark-eyed people have more) correlates with the amount of
melanin in the brain, it could mean dark-eyed people are more sensitive to stimuli
like alcohol, which means they may get tipsy off less alcohol than light-eyed people
do. Still, more research is needed. “People with light irises drink more, that’s an
undeniable conclusion of this study,” says Quinn. “What’s harder to say is whether
it’s the iris color that determines if people drink or don’t drink. It shows an associ-
ation, not a causal relationship.”
