Unsmiling with eyes

Hi

Can we say:

She has very unsmiling eyes.

Does the above sentence sound natural to you?

Thanks,

Tom

I understand it, but I don't find it the least bit "natural".

Thanks, Philip.

What about:

She has very cold and unsmiling eyes.

Please tell me how you find the above sentence. Still unnatural?

Much better, to my ear.

Better, but I can't make unsmiling feel appropriate here. Unfriendly? Steely?
