Beauty is in the eye of the beholder! In China, the attractive woman is someone with a very slim figure (size 4, 5), flat chested, pale skin, and they like big eyes. They are apprehensive about getting a tan, they make sure they are covered when going out during the day, and an umbrella is used quite often. Pale skin is not only sought out by the women, but is also desired in men. It shows your status. Wealthy people are pale, working people are tan.

Interestingly enough, in old English culture, pale skin was also recognized as a feature of women of status. Whitened skin free of freckles or marks, eyes set far apart, plump with a big chest, narrow waist and big hips were regarded as feminine loveliness, along with the practice of plucking hair line to make the forehead wider. It was brunettes that caught the eyes of men.
