There are mainly three types of gazes that someone can give you. Gazes may be easier to recognize than looks, as a gaze can last a second or two longer.
For this demonstration, please look within the shape drawn on the images.
(Martin Freeman as Dr. John Watson)
Here, you are looking at John in a neutral, non-agressive way. His face doesn't show it, but he perceives you positively.
Intimate Gaze
(Lara Pulver as Irene Adler)
When two people interact from a far distance, this is what happens:
1. they acknowledge the face
2. they quickly overview the lower body to determine gender
3. they look from the eyes to the lower body to develop an opinion
Power Gaze
(Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes)
This creates a pressuring atmosphere if you keep staring within this triangle. This technique is generally used to show annoyance or dominance, which translates to the dictionary definition of power.
