I’ve read that belladonna dilates the pupils hugely. In the olden days, women would put drops of belladonna extract (or something) into their eyes for that purpose to look more enchanting or something.

It should also be noted that Belladonna Took was the mother of Bilbo Baggins and accounts for his uncommon "adventurous" spirit. For, as we all know, Hobbits consider adventurousness an unattractive trait. But the Tooks were exceptional.

p.s. While it's possible that Stormy Horseface used belladonna to look pretty, I suspect she also is a drug user. It goes hand in hand with her chosen profession. I would be surprised to find out that she's "clean and sober".

But I'm sometimes overly suspicious.

Belladonna used to be in Contact cold medicine; you remember Contact, the cold med that really worked! They discovered that it caused heart problems in .0000034 % of its users, so naturally had to remove it from the market.

A pharmacist friend of mine gave me a bottle of the extract, USP, which I surely needed in those days. I can't remember my eyes getting any bigger, however.
