Study: Men and women view mixed-race male faces as more attractive than White faces
A new study in The Journal of General Psychology has found evidence that faces of mixed racial phenotypes are perceived as more attractive than

“Both men and women find faces of mixed-race men as the most attractive, followed by Black faces, and then White faces,” Stepanova told PsyPost. “However, when we talk about mixed-race faces, faces that have (a) an even mixture of both Afrocentric and Eurocentric facial features (shape of the nose, lips, etc.) and (b) a skin tone that is not too light and not too dark are perceived as the most attractive.”
“People are attracted most to the faces that are an even mixture of Black and White phenotypes.”
The study also found no evidence that the attractiveness ratings were moderated by the ethnicity of the participants.
The research, however, has some important caveats.
“Human facial attractiveness is very multifaceted,” Stepanova remarked. “We only used male faces. Future studies should consider answering this question with female faces. We also used computer generated faces for better control of skin tone and facial features manipulations, and the next step would be to conduct this work with actual photographs. What about younger and older faces (i.e., faces of kids and older adults)?”
Key takeaways
- An even mixture of afro and euro features are ideal
- Skin tone "not too light and not too dark"
- The findings apply to only male faces
- Appears to be independent of the judges ethnicity
