To trick someone with appearance.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
The concept of 'itibar' (prestige) is huge. People might spend beyond their means to have a 'göz boyayıcı' (dazzling) wedding or car to maintain social standing. In the Ottoman era, 'göz boyamak' was literally used by painters who would touch up the gold leaf in palaces just before a foreign dignitary arrived. News channels often use 'göz boyama' to describe government projects that look good but don't solve the underlying economic issues.
Use the Possessive
Always remember to change 'göz' to match the person. 'Gözümü' (my eye), 'Gözünü' (your/his eye).
Not for Makeup
Never use this for actual beauty routines unless you want to sound like you're accusing someone of lying.
