It is said.... that beauty is at the eyes of the beholder and this rings true.
Different cultures will have different major favourite of stereotypes in their mind.
For example, around here at southeast asia, people will look up to Caucasian genetic feats into the local gene. Women with caucasians features into their look are generally considered more attractive. More pointed and smaller nose, fairer skin, taller posture are preferable.

This also goes true in some places like in Japan. I find (and I know most of you are just feels the same, judging by how popular these AV actresses are) the east-west mix AV stars to be unique... beauty in their own right (without saying that the original japanese AV actresses as being not kawaii - I love them be).
This also goes around to the west. Some caucasians prefers the more "exotic look" of the original, genuine local south east asian features. Darker skin, wider nose, flatter face, whatever is it of the region stereotypes (I found many of the western tourist around here likes to go out and prefer those of more local-looking, original faced ladies). :XD:
Cuture most of the time will forge of what we consider as beauty. With globalization the idea of general beauty becomes more widely accepted though.
But still beauty is pretty much at the eyes of the beholder... and true beauty is a combination of inner and outer beauty.
