The way how eyes behave is big part of those expressions and most sighted people can deduce the emotions of a person just looking at the picture of their eyes. The way how emotions can affect the pupil size is one of those tells.
I'm not entirely sure does the eyes of the people, who have been blind since birth, express the emotions in similiar way. At least for sighted people the pupil size is involuntary and they have little control over it, so it might be an innate thing just like the facial expressions.
So long story short, most sighted people can instinctively read emotions and feelings just by looking people in the eye, including passion and lust.
