In general terms, physical traits seemed to be significantly defining women's beauty in the eyes of Russian people, as the study by Ipsos revealed. The most mentioned features were facial and skin appearances, supported by roughly 70 percent of survey participants. Every third man reported makeup and cosmetics as an influencing factor of making a woman more beautiful.
Sexiness was revealed to be the defining factor of male beauty according to both gender representatives in Russia in 2019. Societal standards also seemed to be more demanding regarding the body weight and shape for men than for their female counterparts. Namely, this physical trait ranked as second most important for male beauty, while for women it listed in the sixth place. Interestingly, brown and black were more favored shades of hair for men, both in Russia and worldwide.
