Primarily relevant to here through the discussion of what people claim to find attractive vs. choose, but also considers various other measures of attractiveness. I dont agree with all these analyses but think its worth posting simply for considering the topic in a lot more detail then Ive previously seen.

Notes -
This might be old but its so off I have to comment. That comparison is absolutely not apples to apples. The second one is in a different place, with what seems to be very different lighting (and not right out of a hot shower) - unless shes putting the makeup all the way down her neck to below the shirt, thats most of the skin change. Colour resolution is worse on the left, which hits faces hard. Her hair is combed, shes looking at a different angle, and her head is more pushed forward. More generally, you are looking at still images. If you see people in real life, with the environment, and all sorts of angles and postures, differences are much smaller. I think the only real difference here is darkening the brows and eyelashes - and those are visibly unnatural. Not at first glance, but as I looked at the image enough to write this comment, my brain adjusts to the fact that no skin really glows like that, even with makeup, and they start to look comically dark. In real life you would notice much quicker, and interact with her much longer. Similarly, I think her natural eyelashes would propably be fine in reality (not sure about the brows) - the resolution really distorts fine hairs (and rewards comically intense chunky ones). This close to the level of falling for those freeze-frame protraits they use as article thumbnails these days.
