What is correct version:

1) It is you who make me smile
2) It is you who makes me smile

I'm a little bit confused. :roll:
 
With full stops at the end they are both possible.
 
I'm sure you know that "you" can be both second person singular and second person plural.
 
If it is one person you would be saying this to, I would say that the best option to go with would be the first one. ''It is you who makes me smile'' but you can use both sentences.
 
You can avoid this with "You are the one who makes me smile."
