‘Dark features’

[ConstanceMartensCat]

I’m watching MAFS UK and a couple of the men keep going on about how they like women with ‘dark features’. Is this a thing now and what on earth does it mean (apart from, as far as I can tell, lash extensions)? Before anyone asks I am not single and don’t want to be attractive to any of the MAFS men 🤣

I've always considered dark features to be dark brown or black hair, brown eyes and perhaps olive skin. On MAFS, it seems to mean brunette and fake tan!

I think brunette, brown eyes.

I find it really sad when other white women essentially try and change their race.

Olive complexion?

Perhaps I'm out of touch but has it got to do with changing race? Surely dark features relates to hair and eye colour IE a brunette rather than a blonde. Rather than an Ariana Grande level of self tan and incorporating other races features into your aesthetic.

dark features only referes to hair colour and eyes in my opinion

I have pale skin and dark brown hair with hazel eyes and have been described as having dark features but I wonder if it is to do with modern beauty standards I.e. the Instagram baddie look which I agree is considered racially ambiguous. I am not that just dark colouring with pale skin.

Some of the women described that way seem to have pale skin and blue eyes but yes, dark hair and eyelashes/eyeliner. The idea that it taps into the racially ambiguous trend is very interesting. Kind of Kardashianesque I suppose.

I think it just means not blonde? 'Tall, dark and handsome' has been a generally accepted description of an attractive man for decades, it's a similar thing AFAIK.
