How to make up for a lack of sexual chemistry By Mark Henderson, Science Correspondent

A WOMAN is judged to be more attractive and feminine by men if she has high levels of the hormone oestrogen, according to research. Women with low oestrogen, however, need not despair of their chances of attracting a partner, as the effect is easily defeated by applying a little make-up, leaving men and women alike confused about hormonal facial cues. NI_MPU('middle');The findings, from a team at the universities of St Andrews and Edinburgh, suggest that the perceived attractiveness of the female face is directly linked to physiological indicators of fertility and good reproductive health. Abundant oestrogen is a good predictor of a woman’s ability to conceive, and a predilection for female faces that suggest fecundity could have evolved as a way for men to choose a more fertile mate. The results suggest that a feminine jawline, a warmer, less pallid complexion and bright, clear eyes are alluring. Aspects of attractiveness have previously been linked to indicators of fertility and good health in men and women. A woman’s waist-to-hip ratio, for example, corrolates with her sex appeal across many cultures, and research shows that women tend to find men with higher testosterone levels and good quality sperm more physically appealing.
