Language of Looks
Is this a proper idiom??
What I mean is that the way a person looks can give a variety of meanings without even uttering a word. It's somthing you know universal. It's as if eye has its own language of communication. So is there any thing in Eng to descride such a state?? When I say language of looks, would any native speaker find it awkward? ( It's actually a direct translation from an idiom in my mother tongue).

It is called body language in English. (and the body movements are called gestures.)

Isn't there something specific in Eng.?? I mean concerning the eye only.

No, I can't think of anything concerning just the eye apart from specific contexts.(he gave me the evil eye, she was giving the handsome man the eye, he eyed her up).
