Have you, like many people around the world, always wanted to learn to give someone an evil and mysterious look? Have you tried and failed strongly? Are you afraid to try because you don't want to be embarrassed? Believe it or not, it's not that hard to master the art of the evil eye. Let's start?
Steps
Part 1 of 2: Learning the Evil Eye
Step 1. Think about the consequences and prepare for a confrontation
An evil look should not go unnoticed. The idea is to make the target feel uncomfortable and guilty. Unfortunately, it sometimes leads to a confrontation when the other person asks what's wrong. If you're already annoyed with the person, talking to them is probably the last thing you want to do right now. Your target might even see the look as a challenge or a call to fight.
- Prepare an escape route if you want to avoid confrontation. Don't give someone the evil eye when you're stuck in a queue, for example. Instead, wait until you're about to leave before you can escape.
- Prepare an answer in case the person tries to talk to you. A "It was nothing…" will cut off the confrontation right away, but it will leave the other person wondering what they did wrong.
Step 2. Think carefully about your target and your motives
The evil gaze is often very personal: it is a mental and physical exercise. It doesn't work well with random people on the street, so think carefully about who you're going to target. Look for someone who has done something wrong to you; envy and resentment are good reasons for an evil eye.
- Your target may be an unknown person who has done something irritating, such as buying the last cupcake from the bakery, whistling on the bus, or not holding back the crying child who is screaming beside you.
- The target can also be someone you know you don't like, whether it's a younger sibling or an annoying neighbor.
Step 3. Choose the exact moment
It will all depend on the target in question. Since the evil eye must be noticed by the other person, it is important to wait until they do something irritating. For example:
- If the target is a stranger, expect him to do something annoying, like buy the last cookie you wanted so badly.
- If the target is known, you can give the evil eye at any time, as soon as the person sneezes or shakes their hair, for example.
Step 4. Concentrate on all offenses received to build up the energies
The evil look is not just about the physical part. The other person must be able to feel the anger and hate emanating from you. Chances are, you're already thinking about the offense, especially if you know the person and tend to mull over their irritating behavior. Remember all the times she pissed you off and build up negative energy. Some tips:
- Think of all the annoying things the person has done in the past. For example, think about how unfair it is that she always gets away with not following the rules while you always suck at the slightest mistake.
- If you're having trouble thinking about past incidents, think about things that make you angry in general, such as prejudice, politics, abuse, etc.
- Focus on an event that made you very nervous. The more recent what happened, the stronger the feeling.
Step 5. Keep the energy and thoughts going
Once you spot the negative thoughts, give them more gas until you're ready for the evil eye.
If you're having trouble maintaining energy, imagine that something bad is happening to the person, such as dropping the cookie you just bought onto the filthy floor
Step 6. Relax your face
Calm anger is far more intimidating than blind hatred. No gnashing your teeth or arching your eyebrows like a superhero movie villain. You'll end up taking away the intensity needed for the evil eye.
The most you should do is open or close your eyes gently. The mouth may be a little closed, as if you have tasted bitter food
Step 7. Look at the person until they see your gaze
It may take her a while to notice, don't give up. Go ahead and fix your gaze. Eventually, the person will feel that they are being watched and will turn their head.
Step 8. Hold eye contact for a few seconds and look away
The more you get to know the person, the longer the look should last. For example, if we're talking about the stranger who bought the last cupcake, half a second should be enough. If we're talking about your naughty neighbor who takes his dog for a walk and poops outside his front door, two seconds should be enough.
- Know that the longer the look, the more likely the person will want to talk to you.
- When you look away, relax your face.
Step 9. Go back to what you were doing before, acting as if nothing happened
Thus, the evil eye will stand out more and the person will realize that he has done something wrong. Also, you prevent her from approaching you and talking about what happened.
Part 2 of 2: Mastering the Technique
Step 1. Keep feeding negative thoughts throughout your gaze
So your expression will be more penetrating.
Step 2. Don't look directly at the person at first if you are in their field of vision
Position yourself so that she can only see half of your face. This will allow you to turn your head slowly, increasing the intimidation of your eyes.
Step 3. Close or open your eyes
A sudden change in eye opening will alert the person that something is wrong. This is the first step in making her uncomfortable.
Step 4. Keep your mouth straight
No showing your teeth, or you'll look more like a cartoon villain. This is nothing intimidating, believe me.
Step 5. Tilt your head forward a little
This way, you will observe the target from under the eyebrows, making your face slightly angled and more menacing.
Step 6. Slowly turn your head towards the person
If she's already looking at you, your gaze will be even more frightening. If you're not looking, she'll soon catch your gaze.
Step 7. Establish eye contact for a few seconds
Imagine that you are looking "through the person" and do not blink so as not to reduce the intensity of the gaze.
If you like, raise an eyebrow a little
Step 8. Walk away as if nothing happened
As soon as the person notices your gaze, break eye contact and walk away. If you can't leave immediately, look away and go back to what you were doing.
Tips
- The evil eye should be done at the right time, when the person is looking at you.
- Try putting on dark eye makeup to enhance your look.
- Practice in front of a mirror or with a friend.
