Study: Lips and Eyes as Key Features of Attractiveness

May 13, 2025

Lips are the main feature of female attractiveness, while eyes and hair are the main features of male attractiveness, according to a study. In a gaze tracking experiment, over 150 people looked at photographs of different people. It was found that men, when evaluating female appearances, most often fixate their attention on lips—on a subconscious level, they perceive full lips as a sign of youth and health. Women, on the other hand, pay more attention to men's eyes and hair as signs of reliability and social status.
