Yep, just one more thing to make them inimitable. Whatever trick it is, most likely simply some particular sensitivity to dark, it just added to the whole falling deep and hard and fast effect they had going.

And another anon:

You got me all triggered now. How dafuq Maca blows her pupils that much? Do you know that scene where she’s sitting with Sergio (mad as fuck about their drunk tingy tingy) and the place is so illuminated that her pupils are so small and all you can see is blue? Maybe Maca’s really incorporated her character, I read some place that your pupils might change according to your emotions too, as you said, it’s not just about the lighting 

Lol, I think that is what some people might be getting at, and maybe it is something she can somehow…influence, but there are plenty of times when she’s with other people and in other situations and they’re also like that.

And another anon:

my eyes are as blue as macas, they are Very Easily dilated in places that are even slightly dark. so while id like to believe its bc juliana, its not :/ even so if you analyze their scenes her eyes are never dilated at the park or bright places which they should if the theory was true. sorry buddies. also watch some of macas other work and you’ll see a pattern, her eyes are just sensitive as sad as it is lol

wait i found a good example, look again at the “tenemos que hablar” interview, the light is lowish but bright enough to see everything perfectly and her eyes are STILL blown tf out

Yep, that’s probably what it is. She’s just one of those people.

And another anon:

Looks like she’s wearing contacts lense? ??

I think so, yes. She wears glasses, right? 

Yep. (Sidenote: I googled her with glasses and omg, she’s just so pretty.)

And another anon:

Oooo yeah I also read that your pupils dilate involuntary when you look at someone you you love/like/admire (like doesn’t have to be romantically, can be friendly too such as family or friends) so maybe her and Barbara just became super close super quickly

Heh, maybe she just has a great affinity for everyone.

And another anon:

Well the eyes never lie…I still stand by what I said about light eyes sensitivity, but who knows?

You’ve probably hit it, though, it is the light eyes sensitivity. Heh, she’s going to be such an effective actor because of some random quirk of nature.

And other anons:

Movies and tv shows often use special contacts that give the illusion of blown pupils for close-up scenes. That’s also how they do it for portraying drug addicts. 

To the two anons about the dilated pupils, I read somewhere that there are many safe ways to cause an actor’s pupils to dilate. Apparently it’s a popular way to tell the story visually. It could be FX contacts or the way the lightning is set up (If the actor’s eyes are lit by minimal lights then it won’t affect the dilatation if the set is well lit) CGI is also often used and I think aam cinematographers went that route with Maca.

Possssible but I just don’t know if they’d do anything that elaborate for this. I think it’s just a thing that happens with her?
