Remember that one of the most important factors in determining facial beauty is facial averageness. It acts as the cornerstone around which everything else is constructed. Then come ratios along with specific traits. It is implied by facial averageness that you should look like the average person in your area, with some leeway for an above-average bone structure that doesn't go too far from the standard. This works well when paired with desirable characteristics like high cheekbones and eyes. Seeking for every characteristic under the sun would make you seem unnatural. Even the most successful models have small flaws and a measure of averageness.
Thus, beauty is really just an average canvas that is enhanced by striking features and perfect proportions such as pronounced cheekbones and a positive canthal tilt. You can gain extra points for uniqueness if you have characteristics that are uncommon in your community, such as full lips in a society where people typically have thin lips or blue eyes in a population that is predominately brown-eyed. But for a face to be truly beautiful, all of these components must work in harmony.
Understand that you cannot have every good feature and that pursuing it is pointless.
