Morphology

eye-beaming = eye + beaming (transparent) = eye + beam + ing

Clearly built from 'eye' + 'beam' + '-ing' so the meaning 'radiant expression of the eyes' is directly derivable from the parts.

Etymology

The word eye-beaming joins eye and beam, and beam means a 'ray of light' and also a warm 'smile'. So it's like your eyes sending out light or a smile, which is why eye-beaming means a radiant, expressive glance.
